That's way too tight a category.  There are a whole lot of people in that class who aren't in dense urban areas.

This is just my opinion but I blame television way more than I blame fast food or anything else.  Take TV away and how many hours a day does the average person get back?  They could use that time doing the things you just said they don't have time to do.  That goes across all weight classes and incomes.

I have been doing P90x for the last few months. If you are planning on doing P90x I think it is also important to watch Fat Head Hulu - Fat Head - Watch the full movie now.

Remove most of the bad tans fats, carb intake and sugar from your diet.

Thats a good point. I think its a combination of a lot of things, but I do agree, the TV does play a big part of the problem. Not just actual live TV, but since you can record stuff, and TV shows come out on DVD, video games, movies, etc... The television does play a big role with all of its bells and whistles.

So i've lost 10lbs but can't seem to go any lower. Does anyone know a good way to determine muscle vs fat%? I've definitely lost weight, but I'm still at 190 (i'm 5'10"), I'm starting to wonder whether getting back to my 170ish is unrealistic. According to the doctor i'm supposed to be at 150! 170 is good for me

Donkbaca:
don't buy that "muscle weighs more than fat" ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.  Its what we tell fat chicks at the gym so they don't give up exercise and become even fatter chicks. Yeah, its technically true that muscle is more dense then fat, but if say you lost 15 pounds of fat and gained 5 pounds of muscle you would definitely notice it since muscle takes up about 20% less volume then fat, so if you substituted 5 pounds of fat for 5 pounds of muscle it would be a VERY noticeable difference.  Plus, if you are gaining muscle, you are going to change your non-exercise metabolic rate so you would lose fat more easily, so if you gained 5 lbs of muscle, you would start dropping weight pretty easily.  FInally its a LOT easier to lose a pound of fat than it is to gain a pound of muscle.  Unless you are working out like a mad man, you will probably gain at MOST 5-10 pounds of muscle in a YEAR.  While its very possible to lose a pound a week through moderate diet and exercise.    

What has more than likely happened is that most of the ten pounds is water weight, that your metabolism has changed due to your body clinging on whatever weight you have.  Just keep with it  When I got in great shape a couple of years ago and lost 40 pounds I experienced palteaus like that.  I would even gain weight some weeks.  Just keep at it, and keep eating right and exercising.  The best indications for me is that I feel better, and my clothes start fitting better.
