I always assumed states with more temperate weather would out perform since you can stay active year round, but not at all the case.

Thanks for the inspiration, will create a post on obesity it’s a risk factor for a lot of conditions and cancers

According to that i am considered overweight /borderline obese.  I am 6'3" 220 pounds and hike /run 25+ miles a week every single week rain or shine, I usually eat one or two meals a day that I make myself from unprocessed foods.

My waist size is smaller than my inseam.  

That doesn't make any sense at all.
