    Try it this way:60/40 = 200/X60 = 8000/X60X = 8000X = 133.33At least it’s a little closerand it follows the 60:40 ratio

    I like her reasoning. :D It is about reachable goals. ;) Right?

    I laugh at the 50’s the new 30, because until I see a professional quarterback, etc., that is 50, first string, playing every game, and competitive, I just ain’t buying it.

    I have a joke for that, but probably not allowed by the censors….

    If I didn’t hate buying clothes (especially if for a larger size), I would probably have gained a lot of weight in my geezerette-hood..As it is, I’m just complaining about painful waistbands.

    The BMI, Body Mass Index, was invented pre-Civil War by Belgium ASTRONOMER Aldolphe Quetelet.. Not a medical man at all. So have a Belgium Waffle with extra whipped cream.

    I hate math…I’m suspicious of it…I think the numerals are some sort of Arabic code, or something…….

    I’m 60 and 200 lbs. The argument is most certainly invalid.

    Yes, it is still early.60/40 = (Trump-(common sense) times (Bernie/74)(Jeb times zero) squared – (Bill +Hillary))/((global warming) times (Marco-Ted)) /120

    That would be about right, given all of the medications and additives to foods that cause weight gain.

    It is a a very old habit. But rationalizing may not carry enough weight.

    Nope. If 60 is the new 40:60:40 ==> 200:133-1/3.Ah, but you were close; you know, in horseshoes, you actually get points for “almost”.

    I support this argument; though the math is off, its heart is in the right place.

    You all know, everything doesn’t have to be mathematically literal in a comic, right?

    Not to mention all mathematical ratio equations for unrelated subjects need be exactly the same to be equivalent.

    An obese 40 year old is pretty much going to feel like a 60 year old, and have the same illnesses.HINT: Order 1 dessert and split it.

    I got the shock of my life two weeks ago. I’m losing weight for the health of my knee. I’m down to 154 pounds. Told my doctor I’d LOVE to lose 30 more but reasonably would settle for 20! She said “No more losing weight! You are at the perfect weight for your body size, height and age!” I almost fainted!

    Yes, that’s about the size of it…and Pinkie’s companion will not negate her logic because he knows what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.; – )
