Snow skiing or boarding. There are fats on the greens and blues, but they are not as bad on blacks. If you try competitive show jumping there aren't too many fats... well I guess one is too many really, but there definitely are some blobs in the lower level classes. I guess moral of the story is to get really good at something because fats never excel at anything.

Ugh there are so many fats in my gym's pool. Probably 80% at least. And they all just do "resistance training", walking through the water taking up a whole fucking lane holding buoyant weights. I'm sure they go down the street to the McDonald's to treat themselves after, because none of them have gotten any smaller over the past year.

lol swimming is the absolute worst because they float so it's easier. I'd say any martial art besides karate. Judo and tae kwon do are both good and the ones you listed are good if you like more fighting/practical aspects (I prefer it as an art and form of discipline and meditation). However you need to pick the place carefully, most of them are just daycare for the evening and will just hand you belts and teach you nothing. It'll take some time but it's worth it if you're serious

Yeah the self defense appeal is what seems to make a good combo. Do you do martial arts? Feel free to PM me.

I do both martial arts (BJJ) and rock climbing / bouldering. Gotta say that there are a surprising amount of small fats doing BBJ, but only in the lower ranks, probably because for beginners their size/weight probably helps them pin others down.
While I'm at the climbing gym however, almost no fats. Some small fats doing the easier top-rope routes from time to time, but they aren't there more than once a week (at least not at the same time as me). And then there's the occasional small fat that wants to try out bouldering but only comes that one time.

Backpacking. I'm into lightweight, low impact camping, as in less than 20lb pack weight for overnight trips. It's rare to see hams in the backcountry, and the father in you go, the fewer of them. Well, people in general, but especially hams. Not many people are into walking 25 or more kilometers a day, over rugged terrain.
Also in the winter I'm a ski instructor. Some fatties on the hill, but not many. There's more in the lodge, especially parents of racer kids.
