Over the course of 3 months I went there once a week. I took pictures.

They were rated as the best burger in the State of Washington, and that proved to be true. I no longer eat there because I'm trying to lose weight.

Interestingly, I was having trouble losing weight shortly after I had been going there, and the week I ate there twice I lost more weight than at other times I was on a diet. Maybe I have to go on a full time diet there?

That 4-8 pic looks more like a size 0-2. She might be a 4 if she wears layers

Yep, I noticed that by the shape of the bottle (they still use the 1950s/60s/70s) coke bottle. And its glorious (I've had it many, many times)

I play both trumpet and guitar..... hard to not like chicago.... and I can play most of their songs on both. Favorite trumpet part is the solo coming into "Does anybody really know what time it is"..... favorite guitar part has to be the 25 or 6 to 4 solo..... and I can play it too

Copied this from a friend's Facebook page - thought it was a good story that relates to the discussion of size...

A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and b...eautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"

The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:

"Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.

Mermaids do not exist.

But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale.

At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.

We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn't enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: "How amazing am I ?! "

I laughed so hard at the bolded part!

sounds like she's saying thinner women can't be smart.

At 6’1’, 315 lbs and 17% body fat I am considered “morbidly obese” and my ideal body weight is 189 lbs lol. So at 320 and 17% body fat I’m like 260 lbs of bone, organs and muscle and 55 lbs of fat… Could I stand to loose a few pounds yes but get down to 189 lbs, really lol…

Yeah, some people are just naturally ... robust and things like BMI charts are simply useless. Plus, being underweight is usually less healthy than being overweight.

RCKrypton · 10-06-2011, 11:06 PM

According to the BMI calculator I'm underweight. Yet I can lift more, run further, and have more visible muscle tone than most of my friends. I'm blaming the 1/4 Japanese for the underweight BMI.

I don't think any of the girls in the picture look bad. Everyone has a frame that naturally holds a certain amount of weight and still looks good.
