I was reading this article on Yahoo.com and for the third year in a row, Colorado is the least obese American state and West Virginia is still the fattest.

According to the 2012 Gallup-Healthways poll, Colorado has 18.7 percent of adults who are obese.  It is the only state with an adult obesity rate under 20 percent.

On the other (chubby) side, 33.5 percent of West Virginian adults are obese.

The national obesity rate was at 26.2 percent in 2012, hardly changed from the 2011 rate of 26.1 percent. In fact, all but four states in 2012 had obesity rates that weren't different from 2011

Waistlines got wider in New Jersey, Georgia and North Carolina, while Delaware got skinnier.

The 10 states with lowest obesity rates:

1. Colorado: 18.7 percent

2. Massachusetts: 21.5 percent

3. Montana: 22.0 percent

4. Connecticut: 22.7 percent

5. California: 23.1 percent

6. Utah: 23.9 percent

7. Arizona: 24.1 percent

8. Rhode Island: 24.3 percent

9. Idaho: 24.4 percent

10. New Jersey: 24.4 percent

Ten states with highest obesity rates:

1. West Virginia: 33.5 percent

2. Mississippi: 32.2 percent

3. Arkansas: 31.4 percent

4. Louisiana: 30.9 percent

5. Alabama: 30.4 percent

6. Kentucky: 29.9 percent

7. Tennessee: 29.6 percent

8. Ohio: 29.5 percent

9. Oklahoma: 29.2 percent
