When you see someone that is overweight, do you expect them to not have a lot of flexibility? I am not severely overweight, but I guess I could stand to loose about 30 pounds. I think I am probably more flexible than many people who are thinner than me. I do a lot of stretching exercises and people who watch me do them are often impressed. I think one of the things I can do that impresses people the most is that I can put my feet on the side of my head. I'd like to start taking yoga classes once I have more money to spare, so my increased flexibility will certainly help me with that.

I do overweight when I was still in school. Now I control what to eat and lots of exercise. Not for a good body though, just for a healthy body:)

I think flexibility depends on if you do stretching excercises. I know some thin people who are not very flexible at all because they do not stretch out each day.
