(Reminds me of the "Duncan Hines" BMI chart I made for OT a looooong time ago...I have to find it now.)

EDIT: hmm, mine's about 32 or 33. Greaaaaaat. :mad:

..soy el flaco...

I could lose a few, but I don't need a 'one size fits all' chart telling me I need to lose 50. I'd look like a cancer patient if I did. :rolleyes:

yes! i'm merely "overweight" now!

Is it bad if I'm below the "Browies are on me"?

My BMI is around 18... I shouldn't be in this thread. :( I'll leave.

Same with me, if I were to weigh what the chart said i was supposed to, I'd evaporate.

Yeah, that chart seems to be a little skewed, so you bigger one's shouldn't feel so bad. I'm a 25 on there and have 8% body fat. So something seems a little off.

I'm what's known as "thick"

I need to lose 28 pounds before I'm technically not a fatass.

<- 45lbs overweight according to the chart... used to be 85.

Though, if I weighed 200lbs, I'd look like an AIDS case.

edit: recent BMI has been in the neighborhood of 29-30.

/Andrew

by that chart, I'm grossly UNDERWEIGHT! :eek: :(

BMI charts are the biggest scam going.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,3605,1200549,00.html

Granted, I have some weight to lose, and I've actually lost over 10 lbs in the past two weeks by just eating right and increasing my activity. :)

I'd have to go to zero body fat and chop off a leg to get to the "normal" weight.

When I was in great shape (high school and college) I had between 3-5% body fat and weighed 250-260 (I'm 5'6")

now I weigh the same but with 20-25% body fat.

Absolutely. In order to merely get into the top tier of the normal range I'd have to lose 50 pounds. :huh: To get to a BMI of 20, I'd have to lose 85. :eek:

Yeah, f that.

according to the chart, my BMI of 25 is overweight. however, i dont really think it accounts for muscle mass, b/c i have a waist of 32 and a 6-pck.

You're a fat slob compared to others in OT. Aren't JGard and some others like 6'2'' and 155?

And that's still considered "normal," according to the chart. Scary.

I'm about 6'1" and 165-170. So I guess I'm not. :)

If you're a lazy ass dandy boy. It's called - EXERCISE. Do it, at least 3 times a week at least an hr. at a time. And walking around your house looking for the remote does not count.

Yep. No more bacon, egg & cheese sammiches either!

:lol:

I'm actually in a Weight Watchers program here at work, and I think it's an easy program. I really added weight when I started office work, and I never did anything about it until now. I'm looking at dropping around 75lbs in all.

I skate a few times a week, depending on the weather, for around 45 minutes to an hour, at a pretty intense rate. Meanwhile, all these housewives complain at the meeting about how they need to cook dinner and watch their kids, but they're all full of it. They just don't like being active. They also liek trying to rationalize the way they eat. I knew it was a problem and did something about it, while they try to make excuses for the pints of ice cream and pizzas. :lol:

Just tell them, 'your kids gotta learn to cook some time.' I started making my own/reheating dinners when I was 8. I'm sure their kids can too.

yep pretty much, have a 52" chest now, used to be 58". Legs used to be 32" each, not sure what they are now. Of course my waist was only 34" then, now it's 40", stuff just rearranged.

6'1", 260lbs(about).

2 years ago...6'1", 320lbs.

It's a slow process.

Technically, I'm obese, but my body fat is healthy. Go figure.

OK, I'm in.

5'10" - 220

When I graduated highschool 10 years ago I was 5'10" - 160. I gained the freshman 50, literally. I was 240 about a year ago. Somehow, without even trying, I've lost 20 pounds. Weird.

Checking in. I love how everyone in the other thread jumped right in and told their weight, but it took a while over here.:p

I still have about 4 bajillion pounds to lose, but at least I can take my jeans off without unbuttoning them now.:banana:

I'm trying to lose 30 pounds.
I've been getting up and going to the gym everyday before work (it's been a week now) and doing atkins.

Keep up the good work

Actually, I lost my job. Depression does wonders. 2.5 months unemployed, not collecting unemployment, worrying about money, not leaving my apartment, eating brown and white rice, only drinking water, that shaved off about 40 pounds in that time period. The rest I loss while actively watching my eating habits(after I got another job, I started shopping again...and buying healthy food). I actually got down to 240. Then I moved back in with my parents, and the eating habits went down the toilet.

Doing a little better eating now, but just started working out more regularly. Goal is to hit 190lbs by the end of the year. I'm 26 years old and haven't seen under 200lbs since 7th grade.

Me too, although I am not on atkins. I am doing the cut out the junk food diet. Slow but it works. I have lost 10 pounds so far, mostly just jogging, swimming and doing the elliptical trainer. I are teh chubby.

5'9" 191.4 as of this morning.
I topped out @ about 205 back in February and I'm hoping to get back down to 165 in time for my wedding March 12, 2005.

Rightnow my fiance and I are doing the same thing Wayne Knight (aka Seinfeld's Newman) did - Susan's Healthy Gourmet. I buy all my food for the week from this company. It a healthy, actually tasty and filling 1800 calorie a day meal plan (1100 plus some random snacks to get to about 1300 a day for my fiance).

So far there's been very little that I've not enjoyed. Last night's lentils had some crazy-gross spices on them that made them inedible, but that and the V-8 are about hte only things I haven't been willing to eat.

Today I had "french toast" and a hotdog sized sausage (chicken, I think) along with a 6 oz. can of pineapple juice & a large strawberry for breakfast. For lunch I had a tuna & brocolli casserole and apple sauce. There's also a salad & some pudding that I'll be eating pretty soon.

ANyway, the food is good, I've learned to parse the breakfast & lunch over the course of the day so I don''t get too hungry, and it's about 1000x more convienient than anything else I've tried. I'm a lazy bastard by nature, so it's totally worth it for me to pay what is really an exorbitant amount for my food to be prepared. I like cooking, but I can't motivate myself to do it every night, along with dishes, shopping, etc. THere are too many McDonald's nights when I'm left to my own devices.

Sorry for the long post, especially because I'm guessing most people DON"T CARE. But I wanted to talk about it with someone, so whoever actaully read this, you are that person!

And it's like falling off a cliff after 30. I did manage to lose 32 Lbs in two months last summer. (Excercise, cut out eating crap, cut back the drinking, no silly diets.) Of course, it all came back but that's besides the point. I guess I'll have to cut back on the cigars and whiskey and try it again.

I am going to be 30 this year and in the past few years I have noticed a change in the way my body loses/gains weight. I had my daughter when I was 25 ever since then I just haven't been the same. I don't know if I will ever get down to my prepreggo weight (135) but damnit I am gonna try my hardest. :)

Checkin in, need to stop eating junk and start goin to the gym.

Well, I think excercise really is the key. I have looked at fad diets, atkins, south beach, etc., etc. For me, and of course everyone is different it really comes down to metabolism. If I am in shape, not drinking a lot, and excercise at least an hour a day 6 days a week, I can eat as much as I want (except for the MacTacoBell King crap) and not worry about gaining weight. If I get sedintary, and indulge my love for the finer whiskeys, I gain weight. Unfortunately due to job related stress for last 6 months, I have been doing the latter. Now, as for where I should be, my ideal weight for my build and age is about 180. I am at 210 right now. I figure, 60 days if I apply myself, 120 if I don't.

6'1" - 235

Yeah, according to the chart I'm obese...

I could stand to lose 15 lbs...

(My waist is a 40...I'm trying to feel where I could theoretically lose some inches and all I can feel is hip bones! :huh: )

Just wait. If you think it's hard now.......


Whenever I hear girls bitching about weight I tell them emphatically, get rid of whatever you don't want NOW, because as you get older, it's like quicksand, and you're stuck with it.

My details, FWIW...

6'3", max weight 285 lbs in July 2003
Minimum weight 239 lbs in October 2003
Current weight 245 lbs in May 2004
Goal weight 220 lbs.

After my aggressive weight loss last year, I've been pretty seriously plateaued... I've been steady between 240 and 245 all through winter and spring. Went from a size 44 to a size 38 waist. Went from XXL shirts into XL, and, in some cases, size L.

I keep trying again every few months to see if I can kick my body into weight loss again, but so far, it hasn't wanted to cooperate.

/Andrew

Well I am a 28 on the dumb ass chart. Doh. I know I could stand to loose about 10, which would drop me to about 175.

Honestly, I don't think I could get into the 162 pound range without loosing a lot of muscle mass. I don't know that I would ant to drop past 175. I'd be too small. In my hobbies (Boxing, sailing) its a good idea to be strong and have a bit of mass to put behind something.

Yup. That's happened to me.

6'4"
215 lbs

Just have a big frame. Don't look right under 200lbs

according to candy's chart I'm on the very edge of Normal. woohoo! i thought i was fat!

I was a fat little kid, if that means anything. Wore a 38 waist when I was in middle school. 32 since high school (well, except for a coupla of lazy years).

I'm 27 and am getting into better shape than I was in when I rode the wheels off of a bike the summer after I graduated High School. I weigh a bit more now but it's muscle mass. At 25, I just decided that I wasn't going to be looking back on the days I was fit and thinking "how hard will it be to get back to that?" So, I dropped 20 pounds last fall and I'm sitting at just about 186 or 187 right now. IT takes work, but God knows I could be more dedicated with my diet. If I didn't have the occasional drinking fest and occasional Mexican food night of eating more than I can hold, I'd be under 185 by now.

6'2" 215-20. I could lose 20 pounds, but assuming I want to keep the muscle I have worked to get the past 3 years on my torso I am not returning to 187 pre-workout / pre-job weight.

I seemed to have missed this litte jem...

Um, you don't know me. But thanks for trying.

I work out at the gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 30mins of Cardio and 30 mins of lifting.

On Tues and Thursday I train in Martial Arts.

So that would be, lets see. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.. Yup 5 days a week of exercise for me. So piss off.

In terms of weight and sizes thats pretty similar to what I've done except I never went through a real aggressive weight loss period. I think I have plateaued though. When I graduated from college in May 01 I was probably between 290 and 300 lbs (I'm around 6'3" 6'4"). I think I'm currently around 240 and it seems like I've been at this weight for quite a while. I've been getting in better shape by exercising but I haven't been losing more weight. Most of the weight loss has just come from a change in diet. I don't have a really restricted diet but I have really cut back on junk food snacks and fast food meals. I'm sure the increase in exercise has helped with some of the weight loss too.

Kirstie Alley just called, she said she needs to drop about 300 lbs, but if anyone here has some cookies they need to get rid of, she'll gladly waddle by and pick them up.

hmmm. 5'11", about 190. Checkin in as overweight. :)

5'11" here and 215. Head on collision in '02 shattered my ankle- it's amazing how not walking for a year puts on the lbs! But really that chart is BS. I'd look bad at 165 lbs.

My UPS man lost 39 lbs in a freakin month!!!!!!!

Yes, it's the chemo diet!!!

No, really he was FASTING....some religous thing I think. Went from like 210 down to 170 just like that. Now I wan't to watch his body revolt and gain it all back!:devil:

Lets just says I rarely get cold in the winter!!! ;)
