Obama In 2010 Weighed 179.9 pounds...

[Grassy Knoll]

..."Fox News tonight is reporting that President Obama may weigh only 127 pounds. Despite a report earlier this week released by the White House claiming Obama weighs 179.9 pounds, Fox claims it has sources who say the president is “grossly exaggerating his weight.”... Mar 6, 2010

1. What a healthy looking man!

And he was a great president.

2. Anything to make 239lbs seem plausible.

Fox Entertainment is a joke.

3. At one point in my life

I lived in the Carribean and taught scuba diving... I worked like a dog to haul air tanks to / from the dock and taking 2 to 3 groups out every day for 30 minute to hour long dives (depending on depth).

I am 5'11" and I weighed in at 170... I looked a lot like Obama in this picture... only I was only 34.

I might have had a bit more arm muscle / upper body strength.

I am certain that Trump is close to 290 and not 240.

4. Don't forget though that muscle is far denser than flab ...

240 is actually quite a lotta weight for someone 6'1" (at best) with the minimal muscle mass his fat as has ... hence the 29.9 (as close to 'obese' as one can be w/o being it) BMI.

I actually 'buy' the 240 while at the same time saying 'that means you're likely well overweight at 6'1" ... unless you're something approaching an NFL linebacker's build'

6. I always thought Obama looked around 160

But what do I know?

My husband was 160 when we started dating. He is 5 ft 10 and was bit chubbier than Obama.
