My major professor who was named Wolfe(a most appropriate name for he was
sadistic and mean spirited, not necessarily a woman chaser) once said he
had never seen an obese CP. Now Wolfe was the educational expert of CP in
Texas at the time. He was also about 5'6" and weighed 280-300 lbs.
        I was about 25 yrears old and weighed about 140-150 and agreed with
Wolfe. I did not consider that almost all my uncles on both sides were big
and had been slender in their youths. I am now 62 and weigh 260. Lifestyle
and genes beat out CP everytime as for as weight problems.

My .02 cents worth.
