i did a month on the bariatric surgery service. gastric bypasses and such. there exist many really, really large people out there. we even had a special term for those over BMI 50-60: "extreme obesity". (and you haven't seen it all until you've seen a person with a BMI of 94 walk, yes, walk into clinic.)

After a BMI of 60, they just calculate it by counting the number of fat folds

Better watch out fatty. Check your BMI regularly or you could creep into obesity without even knowing it.

I went to a "training" on promoting a wholesome, professional image at work. We are require to wear club t-shirts to work. After the professional image seminar, where we covered among other things, coming to work in clean clothes that FIT, we were given club t-shirts to wear. The smallest size they had was an XL. It comes down to my knees.
