How overweight does one need to be? 6' 190?
From the inbox:
Any amount overweight is what we are looking for and you qualify. ... I
have attached instructions for orientation Saturday April 25th at 8am.
You will need to come in fasted after midnight with nothing to eat or
drink. ... We look forward to seeing you.
I clearly qualify (6'1", 210... all bought and paid for). Unfortunately, it's a wee bit too far for me to travel. But I would suggest that John might try and get ahold of a beer belly to pack onto his 190# frame.
