I'm still 30-40 pounds overweight, but that means I'm in the "pudgy" range, not the "approaching corpulent" range. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  The cultural concept of "overweight" is definitely a moving target as well.  From Rennaissance women to 1980's "twiggy-style" women is a shocking range of acceptable body weight.[/threadjack]Whether or not the Exiles are thin though, I am also interested in knowing the answers to the questions posed by drexes.</blockquote>
