I don't even mean that. I mean the people you think are physically hindered by their weight could be people who can run rings around you athletically and healthwise. I teach adults swimming and have been a pretty avid runner and size is such a small part of physicality. You would be shocked by what people can do with their bodies even at very high weights.
