Lots of people say they want to gain all they can and still stay mobile.

But what does that mean practically? I mean, you have to stop gaining BEFORE you're immobile.

What IS a reasonable practical limit to how big you get?

One idea: you should at least be able to climb a flight of of stairs without resting. If you can't do that, you probably shouldn't gain any more.

Or should it be TWO flights of stairs? Or...?

I'd want to be able to do most everyday activities without too much difficulty. For example, I'd be fine not being able to fit on theme park rides since I don't go often, but I don't want to get too big for my car. I'm OK shopping at big and tall stores, but past a certain point I won't be able to find fitting clothes there!

For me that limit's probably about 400lbs. There are shorter people on here who are heavier, and I'm happy for them (if they want to be that size). But I just want to be sure that I can do everyday things without a problem...


Of course, that's reasonable, but it doesn't answer the question.

The question is not "What do you not want to get too big for?" but rather: "At what point BEFORE getting too big do you stop gaining?"

I dunno what my reasonable gaining limit would be. I mean, I'd still want to be able to fit in my car; which is already a bit of a tight squeeze now.

But the idea of NOT fitting in the car is a little exciting.

I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not sure where I'd draw the line.

I know, it's a tough question.

But surely you want to draw the line BEFORE you cross it!

Heh, isn't part of the excitement would stem of toeing the line and "accidentally" crossing it?


Possibly, but we still need to establish the line!

I Dont think you would personal know where that line is until you cross it. Then you can tell it was x- lbs

Some of them just said what would be too big. That's different from where they would stop.

There's not going to be a blanket answer for everyone.


True.
