I measure big by the size of NFL players. Pro football players are big men. At my heaviest i was 251 lbs. To give you a sense of how fat that is consider this:

The Seattle Seahawks (the local pro football team) has 64 players on the roster. At my heaviest i weighed more that 38 of them. I weighed more that 8 out of the team’s 9 linebackers. And, most embarrassing of all, i actually weighed more than one defensive lineman.

 

Now things have changed. Now the numbers are different. At my current weight of 195 i only outweigh 7 of the 64 players on the roster. And those are wide receivers, cornerbacks and kickers.

Progress!
