What's Your BMI?

[squisher]

And there ya geaux

bmi is skewed towards the skinnys I beleive. But anything that makes you more aware of your health and fitness is a good thing. I know I have work to do, hell I also know that it's not easy as I love my cold ones. Some people have different goals or profess to not be concerned with their long term health, so be it.

For me I'd like to live a great deal longer and also in good health. But I'm sure that all the scientists/doctors that have collected and presented data on overweight/obesity and the health problems that come along with it are probably just trying to scare us all into spending our money on health products so they can be rich and get more funding.:roll:

 

[Burnham]

Using Justin's adjustments for shoes and clothing, I'm at 26.6. That makes a lot more sense.

How'd you work the adjustment, Brian? Do I add 1 inch to my barefoot height and 7 pounds to my naked weight?

Or subtract it?

Now I'm confused...what does the chart expect you to plug in?

 

[squisher]

No B for bmi you want to enter your actual height, most will know that as we all stopped growing long ago. Then strip down and jump on your scale to get your actual weight. Actual height and weight are what you want to work with.

 

[Burnham]

OK, now I better go get naked.


Don't look.

For your own well-being.

 

[JamesTX]

I just pictured a bunch of naked, bmi challenged TH'ers running around looking for the scale. Ugh.

 

[JamesTX]

20.4

What are your stats? I'd have to lose 66 lbs to get there - I'd be 6'2" and weigh 159.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'd have to be a 'lil over 170 to have that!

 

[JamesTX]

How tall are you?

 

[MasterBlaster]

6'2"

To hit 20.5 (like Gary) I'd have to weigh 160. I don't know what's up with Gary's stats. I'd look like a CC camp victim at that weight.

A vivid imagination is not always a good thing.

[lumberjack]

My boots alone weigh 4.4lbs.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

27.1 I'm overweight at 6 feet 200lbs. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, I'll get his opinion.

side note; I have a sciatic nerve problem, thats why I'm visiting the doctor.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Good luck with that.
I bet a nickle the doc agrees with the BMI.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

last time he told me I was on the high end of normal

He also said treework dosen't count as excercise, so now I run a couple a times a week.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yea, everybody thinks tree climbing keeps one in shape when it's not really true. The ground crew works way harder than I do.

Trimming every day would do it, but it would have to be just about every day.

You can leave your drawers on, ....as long as they are empty

 

[Dave Shepard]

A vivid imagination is not always a good thing.

Nor is an eidetic memory, once you've imagined that image, it's burned into your mind forever.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm fixing to break 190!!!
Spring steel and sex appeal!

 

[High Scale]

Yesterday I tried one of those BMI scales down at the local sports centre.

Turns out the Mrs measured my height wrong, my weight is 84.3kg, height 5ft 11 in, my BMI is 25.7.

My ideal BMI range is 20 to 25 and I was wearing heavy clothing.

I may not have the Bruce Lee body of six years ago but I am by no means overweight

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Embarrassing... But here ya go.. My 150# pic... I like 140-145 better That's nekkie weigh BTW You can see what I mean about my spare tire.. BTW with all the crunches in the world and diet.. I have never got more than a two pac. Dr says I am just built that way..... As long as my woman likes me as I am.... all is good... well and my own self image and climbing of course HAHAHA

 

[MasterBlaster]

I guarantee that you have a six pack (everyone does) underneath that fat. The "Dr says I am just built that way....." is bull. You need to get back to 140, maybe even less. But that requires work/discipline that most people just don't wanna do.

What the heck is THAT? A BMI scale???

 

[vharrison]

As long as my woman likes me as I am.... all is good

That is the truth, John never has said, gee honey you should try and loose some weight. This is something I did for me and him, he deserves a healthier, sexy me! Like I said, I may have to be 50, but I don't have to be 50 and fat!

Check out the next People mag, http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20267734,00.html Valerie is going to be 49, go girl!

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's my girl!

EVH was such a fool.

 

[Tree Reb]

I dont think its accurate either.

At 5'10" and 180lbs my BMI is 25.8= overweight.


Yeah right, Id like to gain 10 pounds to be honest.

That would be pretty big, I'm the same height.

Most I've ever been was 172, average about 150-155, but it's hot & humid here now I need a few pounds, 22.1.
