I'm saying for the fat people hate thread that will follow this.

timmy_the_tooth: They should have named it Canckle Observance Week.

I see what you did there.

STAYING that is

Can you really work those away? Isn't it a genetic thing, like how black women have no calves at all?

Where does the calf fat end, and the ankle fat begin? I don't know, that's the fun.

/looking forward to "go be fat somewhere else" month

That's why I like Planet Fitness SO much better!!!

If one uses up more calories then they take in, their body will then begin burning fat for the energy it needs. Eventually, cankles will cease to exist

Cankle's are aren't the problem. Yesterday I saw a couple that both looked like tire sized buttered biscuits stacked on top of each other.

Unfortunately, no one that fat is going to take one step into a Gold's Gym. I think once you are to that point, the fear of ridicule or the stares keep you in the house and on the couch.

Despite the incredible time required, I think the Biggest Loser model helps. They get them burning 6K calories per day with about a 1500K diet, so they lose 6-8 lbs. per week. If you are that fat, take vacation and necessary leave and get your health on track.

I have overweight female friends who have lovely slim ankles. I, on the other hand, will always have cankles. I had them when I weighed 100 pounds less than I do now. I've simply resigned myself to the fact that I can never wear capri pants or ankle-strap shoes.

Thanks for being the first obligatory "burn more calories than you eat" guy.

/ok we're right on course for a standard FARK fatty thread.

I'm calling it "Steroid Stumpy Dick Month".

kxs401: I've simply resigned myself to the fact that I can never wear capri pants or ankle-strap shoes.

If you want to wear capri parts or ankle-strap shoes, you ought to do it. Why limit yourself because of what other people think?

If they don't think you should be wearing these things, so what? Fark them.

The vast majority of people with Cankles are just fat. They developed them because their legs got fat.

I've never seen a lean person with a cankle. I'm sure people are going to post in this thread saying, 'I'm not fat and I've got cankles!' and I'm going to assume they are fat unless I see pics.

People do store fat differently....certainly some chubby girls have cankles while their much fatter friend doesn't....but if the first girl were skinny and not chubby she wouldn't have them either.

My favorite is not the cankle but when someone gets so fat they look like a living Cabbage Patch kid.

THIS IS SO. And the more douchebaggy ad campaigns like this that go out there, the less likely the very fat will be to go to the gym, or exercise at all. It's bizarre, I know, but the same people who say "those fat farks should get off the couch and exercise" are the ones who go to the gym and then stand around laughing at the people who are overweight.

All the more reason for them to lose weight!

Depends on the Y. I one I worked at during high school had old equipment and a horribly inadequate gym.

I have a question (new window)

The Gold's Gym near me was a very friendly place. Had a two year membership there. Used it a lot. Lots of unfit people. Lots of smoking hot babes as well, though.

I dunno, theres this guy at my gym no older than myself (24) and he's a goddamn planet, but he said something kinda inspiring to me. He said

"Well, I didn't turn into a fatty overnight, and I'm sure not going to be supermodel overnight either, so I just keep at it and I really don't give a damn if people stare, hell, I'm a fat guy. get over it. Besides, I'm just in it for the biatches at the end of the road"

Now we're gym buddies, and he's one of the nicest dudes I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

I figure if more fatties had this sort of attitude, they could easily make the change. (and score some tail)

tartie_pants: this is why I love the Y great equipment, all types of bodies and ages... never any crap

Our local Y offers free child care when you work out if you get the family membership. That, plus the fact that there's a pool and it will be about two blocks away, makes it twice as likely that I'd actually work out.

\two times zero is still zero

if there was a government run fatty camp where you could go for 2-3 months and get fit then sign up for the military, I'd totally do it.

/would be in the USN right now if they would take me as-is.

pugsleythegreat: I figure if more fatties had this sort of attitude, they could easily make the change. (and score some tail)

Eventually the population gets to a point where most people are fat, so one's weight doesn't factor into whether they can get laid.

So there's this book about news organizations and advertisements and bullshiat..
I can't seem to recall whom it's by..

You're right, apostrophe pluralizing is the problem.

Amen, brother.

I get tired of fat people putting themselves down and cutting themselves off from the rest of the world because they're afraid of being laughed at.

Have a little pride in yourselves, fatties. Get out of the house. Don't let the snickers (no pun intended) of strangers keep you from doing what you want to do.

Once my mom lost a ton of weight and totally lost her cankles. She even had to buy a new wardrobe of shoes because all of her old ones were too big in the cankle region. Her feet in her old shoes were like a hotdog in a hallway.

Americans label anyone with even a drop of black blood "African-American" or "black". Look at Tiger Woods, he's like 1/2 Asian, 1/4 African, 1/8 European and 1/8 Native American, but do we call him Asian? No, he's "black", even though it's not even close to being his dominant heritage.

I spent 2 years living and teaching in Tanzania: one topic that came up frequently was "blacks" in America. I put that in quotes because they were honestly confused about it. Let's just say that the kid in my class who was called "whitey" was still twice as dark as 80% of African-Americans (a term which also confused them, since there isn't really anything African about the culture.)

And Charlize Theron is as African as anyone can be. Zimbabwe and South Africa also came up in these conversations, and while many people were angry at how well-off white Africans were, they were still considered Africans, by nature of many, many generations of inhabitance. The people who call them "European colonists" and want to strip them of citizenship and deport them are looked down upon as racist fools from my experience.

Neuticle: Americans label anyone with even a drop of black blood "African-American" or "black".

While that's true, it doesn't really have much to do with Stacey. According to Wiki:

Dash was born in The Bronx, New York. She is of African American, Aztec, and West Indian descent with "clear green eyes". Her brother is Darien Dash, the CEO of DME Interactive Holdings and her cousin is Damon Dash, the former CEO and co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records.

She isn't called black just because she's got "a drop" of black blood in her.

Wasted Pixels: It's nice that you have a crush and all, but this is not a typical black woman.

How do you define "typical black woman"?

I've found that there is no such thing as a typical black woman. Or a typical white woman. Or a typical Asian woman. There is a great, great deal of variation in all of these racial groups. But, then again, I'm not particularly race conscious. So I don't blind myself to the women in any one group on account of some preconception of how attractive they are.

And, yes, I do have a crush.
