President Polk was of a normal height and weight-- most sources say he weighed about 185 pounds. Given his height, he was not very fat at all. You may have been confusing him with William Howard Taft, who was very overweight-- at one point as much as 350 pounds, until he finally went on a serious diet. According to one story that seems to be factual, President Taft was so fat that he once got stuck in a bathtub.
