Some of my in-laws lived to be 100 and big like he was, go figure!
don't forget Jim Fixx..running guru

65-70 for people this big....Look at ex-NFL lineman for example. Not a long life expectancy. Andre the Giant dead early 40's

Wonder if he inherited diabetes from his parents like I unfortuneately did. Being diagnosed with diabetes has been a big wake up call for me. Very few times do I eat out at a fast food place. Also I have dropped 50 pounds in the past two years and went from a waist of 40 to a 36. had to buy some new shorts and shirts. Glucose readings are much better now with the new insulin I am on.
