Re: i need to lose weight FAST

BMI comes up all the time. It's kinda good... kinda bad.

It was designed to give a basic range for the average person. For your typicaly run-of-the-mill person you meet in the street, it's decent.

Anyone with some sort of athletic capacity completely throws the system out the window, and it has to be completely reassessed.

I'm 6 foot tall, i would have to be (a Max of) ~82 kg to be considered 'healthy'. I am 6 foot, and 103 kg, therefore, according to the Government/BMI, clinically obese. Even though i am healthier than i have EVER been (and i have been down to 71kg at this height, and everything inbetween.).

Actually, you can pretty much pick any football player at random, and most will be 'overweight', if not 'obese'.

So... Its a good bench mark for the Average Australian. But i consider myself a little above average :p [/gloating].
Yes but what a lot of them would not have is central obesity. Central obesity is when there is a large amount of fat around the waist area and encasing the organs. It's this fat that is being linked to CVD and premature death.

There are so many factors, so it's all going beyond 'i weigh this much and i am this tall'

Re: Are YOU trying to lose weight?

I am not really trying anymore..but I probably should. Well, I need to eat healthy! Eating healthy is more important than trying to lose weight per se.

Re: Are YOU trying to lose weight?

No. I am 160 cm tall and only weigh 47 kg. Why lose more weight? I'm trying to gain more weight. Hoping to get into the 50s. :)

Re: Are YOU trying to lose weight?

Since start of last holidays I've been trying to get out on the bike every day and eating 'good' food :)

Just recently I jacked up the distance from 2kms a day to 12kms a day and that's just going around the block once. Which is good for me, but my poor dog must be sick of it.

Re: Are YOU trying to lose weight?

I currently am trying to lose weight. Just a little bit, no more than 5kg. But more importantly I'd like to tone my stomach, its just not working for me hah
