    It’s shouldn’t come as news to anyone that the rest of the world sees us as, among other things, being a tad overweight.

    Lol, cool photo but I bet they think we don't have holes in our socks either.

    Stats state that the rest of the world would be right.

    Great BW. May I ask why the holes in the socks? Or just what was on the persons feet at the time?

    Cool subject...I like...btw, I dunno if it's just me, but I have to ask...was the person (BF perhaps?) holding something to make it weigh 312lbs? The reason I ask is those legs and feet do not look morbidly obese enough to be +300 pounds....unless the person is waaaaaayyyyyyy over 6 feet tall.
    I guess they could also have skinny legs as well.....hmmmmmm.....

    Looks like a big person ... those feet barely fit on the scales! And the hair looks like you'd need a 'whipper snipper' (I think it's called a weed whacker in the US??) to keep them under control

    Cool photo ... something I'd have never thought of.

    Shame socks cost so much in the US though.

    Yeah, they actually are my feet and I had to ruin a perfectly good pair of socks to get the holes. I thought they might help the shot.
    Now, I don’t have to run around in the shower to get wet mind you, but I’m nowhere near 300lbs either. I just re-calibrated the scales in an upward manner to illustrate the point. Six feet, two-twenty I am.

    You know what they say about a man with big feet, MA…....he wears big shoes.

    You are about the same weight/height ratio as me then ... I'm about 5' 10" and 98 kgs ... I need to lose about 20 kgs I reckon.

    Yah! I like that. My weigh scale is pretty unpredictable, but I don't even think it goes up to 320. Yours must be a newer model. LOL
