Never have I been so happy to be technically classified as obese. Being 6’5” really is a cheat code. Now CT just has to open it up to us chunky folk. If you’re eligible, go get it fellow Jet fans. We’ve suffered long enough, and there’s also a pandemic going on. You can at least solve one of those problems.
Way past my prime. I did play TE as a kid though. One blindside hit on special teams and I gave up football for good.
At 6' 225 lbs a year back i was considered obese, 2 weeks ago i was down to 198 so then i was only considered overweight, then i got sick and lost 12 lbs, according to the charts I'm still overweight at 186 which is ridiculous.
I got my positive result on Tuesday. Had some minor symptoms, congestion, headache, shits. I'm 6 days in from my 1st symptom and feel 98% fine, still quarantined for Valentines day. Great excuse not to have to run out for the usual flowers, card..
Glad your case is mild. My biggest fear is getting it NOW when we’re like a month away from a vaccine. My wife is fully vaccinated too (nurse) so I really feel like she’s ready to get back to semi normal but obviously that’s not an option yet. It would just be such a kick in the dick to make it a year then get it right before I’m going to be 95% protected.
It’s absurd, but in this case I’m fine with it. Don’t get me wrong I’m overweight, but it almost feels sneaky to “qualify” because of a chart.
I thought about that lol, leave it to me to wait till the vaccine is out... Healthy 43 non smoker so it might be a while before I am eligible anyway.
This person fails a BMI test btw He is 5ft 6inches and 170 pounds or 12 stone 2 this is his BMI chart with me filling it in that he has a very active exercise plan. Overweight lol but more worryingly they suggest a weight of 8 stone 3lb wouldn't be abnormal, I am 5ft 6" and I have been at my slimmest 11 stone 3lb and I looked like a concentration camp victim, you could count my ribs visibly, I'd like to know where I was losing 3 more stone from. It is a shocking system and this is off the NHS official site, a very dangerous tool.
It’s absurd. I’ve been tall for my age my whole life and I’m built like a blocking tight end. I’m never ever going to be “normal” weight even if I was on a perfect diet and exercise plan. It’s always bothered me but it’s finally going to pay off it seems.
When MetLlife opens, they may give preference to fans who've be Vaxx'ed. Better seats maybe! Especially early in the season. We might get 2c Sam Darnold's first ever to DeVonte Smith for 7!
Thanks footbalgod. Let's keep this here for a few days until everybody sees the opening post. Will move this to BS Forum once every poster and visitor has a chance to see the OP. Try not to post political stuff about vaccine. Keep this civil please.
