Algona isn't on there. Shucks.

[escobert]

I don't live in a city :p

[SeeDRankLou]

My city is the fattest. We're back on top baby, WOOHOO :D I however am surprisingly skinny while at the same time I probably eat more than most people do in this city.

[Rye]

Nooooo, New York is 8th fattest. :(

[Kirobaito]

14th fattest. :p

[DMKA]

Hell only has two actual "cities", and they're both on the fat list. Figures, sense there's almost nothing but total discusting fatasses here. It's a blessing in disquise though, because it's shortening their lifespans. YAY!

*hates hell* :(

[Dking'squeen]

I knew that we were second!
I saw it on the news and the news people seemed a little sad about it.....

[escobert]

Well the nearest cities to me are NYC and Boston so Boston is #7 Fittest and New York is #8 fattest :p

[DMKA]

I'm from Los Angeles, which is on the fittest list, and is getting fitter...they've moved up 4 spots. :)

*misses home* :(

The world's too image-based. If you're gonna be a fat-ass, fine. Be a fat-ass. If you're gonna be an anorexic douche with a thyroid problem, fine. Be a twig.

Bottom Line?-Don't let anyone tell you how to look. Except for doctors.

1. Not what the thread is about.

2. Doesn't change the fact that being an extreme fatass (like EVERYONE around here just about) is bad for yout health, among other things.

[Crazy the Clown]

Just trying to make a point. I pretty much live in a small, backwater town, and yeah, there are some fatties in it. But for every lardass, I see 2, maybe 3 twigs. Only a handful of people have a slender or muscular build.

Yes, and I agree with your point that it's no one's place to tell someone if they need to be thin or fat other than a doctor. :)

[Casey]

I live near Seattle, (Bremerton,Wa right across the sound :)) .

[m4tt]

Go San Diego! Top 10!

[ZeZipster]

Orlando wasn't on either =(.

I'm a gonna go make a pro-ana site and give it to my friends. Never settle for second best!

[boris no no]

p.s the inbred bits a joke...derbyshire used to have alot of imbred people years ago. any affence caused i am sorry....wait a minute...I live in derby...i'm not imbred (i actually was born in brighton the uks number one gay spot!)

[lordblazer]

lol even though oklahoma city is well-known for people having good cooking unlike the southeastern region though.There aren't many fat people they probaly make up 30% of the cities population i have to check teh stats on that hey wats a good website for that?

edit- i see OKC onthe list ranked aobut 22nd wow lol im glad i
okc ranks 13th but it says 21 lol.


edit-with OKC you get made fun of for being skinny and oyu also get made fun of for being fat lol you have to have meat on ya here and then you have to have atleast a small stomach not a big one but a stomach or a six pack signifying that you are avergage.Even then if oyu just have a small stomache they'll consider you skinny as heck here lmao lmao.This image crap i think is only in america.I notice different ethnic groups play a role in this image mess.Also the influences of ethnic groups on a person.YOu may say you don't care but your always under some kind of influence of something.Anyway this thing was pretty neat.

I find it interesting that things like climate factored into all this.

[bennator]

[Calliope]

[lordblazer]

OMG YOU'RE FROM HELL AREN'T YOU!

[Yamaneko]

Isn't the Zone diet from California? That must be it!

[TheAbominatrix]

Yay, my boyfriend is in a fat city (Long Beach). Next time I drive around with him down there Im gonna count! Okay, not really.

My city isnt on there of course... I think we'd be a fat city though.

[Del Murder]

Go NorCal!

[Yamaneko]

No fair. You guys have all the hippies. :(

[The Captain]

It makes sense that NYC would be among the fatter cities because of the vast population and overwhelming domination of fast food.

Luckily, living in the suburbs of the City, out on Long Island, there's more room to exercise and beat back the fat that's seeking to engulf the country.

Take care all.

[Jojee]

Bah they didn't put my city on xD That's ok, I live in the "Beautiful people" city. :|

I would think it is kinda vice versa because most new yorkers get around on foot.While suburbanites have to drive around because this are so far away.

[Rye]

You don't know how many joggers populate Long Island.

[Mindflare]

Pittsburgh isn't in there. o.O

We're an average city, I guess...?

[kikimm]

My city's not on there. Doesn't surprise me, though. I was expecting this, but it still hurts. :(


:D

[UltimateSpamGrover]

I live in the suburbs of a city I'm not going to say so

[Bisithorious]

6th fittest. The part of Oregon I live in is picky. Everything has to be organic.

[lordblazer]

Fresno, 14th fittest. Really a surprise, if you ask me.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Except I see a LOT of fat people here. I do see thin people too, but we have our fair share of obese people. Go figure.

[Doomgaze]

In your face, Milwaukee!

[theundeadhero]

That sucks for you UKG lol I couldnt live in the suburbs not enough life just well lets just say there a borewell im going from what i heardI live just outside the St. Louis suburbs. It's that rare place where if you drive 10 minutes one way your in civilization or 10 minutes the other way and your in complete country. I love every minute of it.

[UltimateSpamGrover]
