No weight is weight, it is either fat or muscle either way it is unhealthy to have to much weight to lug around

I wasn't saying that, I was saying there is healthy toned and unhealthy bulk, Like a Muscle head that can't bend there arm and touch there shoulder.

I am far from fat and far from ripped toned I am in the middle, last year at this time I weighed 170 now I am at 190, all from quitting butts.
I am working on losing 25, 30 pounds but I am always hungry

well Tattoobob ,

i have an excellent tip for you that i recently re-discovered that i have been using and it works totally awesome....and it's as simple as you can get..... all you do right...is when you feel the hunger pangs coming on......you take a small handful of raw (shelled) sunflower seeds and eat them...and i'm telling you that within a couple of minutes the hunger just fades away...completely.

and you have to marvel at the common chickadee that is out there in the freezing cold in winter time....when it's so damned nasty frigid that a human being won't wanna be out there for even 15 minutes without getting frost bitten and this little tiny bird is sustaining itself
completely by eating nothing but sunflower seeds.Nature knows!

Perhaps only if you don't have the heart capacity to keep the blood flowing...chances are if you have a lot of lean muscle your heart is in decent shape.

Most really old people you see tend to be smallish in nature, but that's just the luck of the draw...
