Holy crap I'm getting fat

[rasczak]

Just got out of an appt and learned my bmi is 28. What a shock. 5'11 and 207 lbs. Time to hit the gym ;(

 

[TheNinja]

BMI is pointless though. Every linebacker in the NFL with a body fat of 8% would be "obese" on the BMI chart. You are probably fat though

 

[Saint Nick]

Cut all of your refined carbs and sugars. You will lose a lot of your weight. Pair that up with some sort of daily workout routine (alternating between lifting and cardio) and you'll see weight loss in no time.

 

[dpodblood]

BMI is the most useless measurement of fitness ever. It doesn't take into account muscle mass at all.

 

[Beev]

Growing up I had a great metabolism. It's starting to catch up with me, though .

 

[rcpratt]

BMI is useless, but yes, go to the gym.

are you implying that diet and exercise may lead to weight loss?

Good advice.

If you drink soda on a daily basis, just stop. That alone can cut 10 pounds of fat in a few months.

BMI is a helpful indicator. People know when they are fat/muscular. No one has ever mistaken their spare tire around the waist as a muscle deposit. If your BMI is 28 and you have massive biceps and six-pack abs then you know you aren't fat. If you have a BMI of 28, you have love handles and tits are developing, your stomach looks bloated and you cannot even see your ribs, then you're fat.

Which are you? Ripped muscles or love handles?

my BMI is just a tad higher than you since i'm 5'11 and 209lbs ... however i am not fat at all.

 

[rasczak]

I have no muscles

 

[LookBehindYou]

Don't be a fat bastard!

Seriously, you can do it, cut down on the intake. I didnt cut out the refined shit. I switched from soda to diet in the evenings, drink water the rest of the time. I just cut out a lot of the bullshit. Baked lays instead of regular, eat smaller portions, etc.
Eat less bullshit, excercise and you'll be good to go.

I lost 85 lbs in 10 months roughly and have kept it off for 2 years now. My weight fluctuates between 170 and 175 (i eat like shit on weekends) and i'm 5'11.

You can do it, dont whine about being fat, don't try your best, or talk about making a change, just do it.

Like sean connery said: "Losers whine about their best. Winners fuck the prom queen."

Be a winner, lose the weight, and go fuck the prom queen.

Now. Do it.

Lieeeees!

I have no muscles

To make you feel better if you carry fat around than you have muscles to support that. Fat people have generally bigger thigh MUSCLE as well as fat.


And yes BMI only works for the average non-gym goer. I have a BMI of 26.5 right now but I'll bench press anyone who calls me fat.

I switched to just drinking water about two years ago (used to have 3-4 Mtn Dews a day) and never noticed any weight loss. I still drink mostly water now and am fatter than I was back then (6'1 280 now). I love to eat until I'm full, though, which is wrong of me, but food is so good

Everything you just said disagreed with your first sentence. It's helpful, but you don't really need it because you can tell by just looking at your muscles or fat? Okay.

but the real question is ... can you SHOULDER press them...

 

[Estrella]

Put the bucket of chicken in front of you just out of reach on the treadmill. It worked for me.

Oh c'mon, don't kid yourself. You know you are fat. Go lose some weight bra!

 

[highland145]

As long as the shed isn't covering the tool then you're good.

No pics, we can't make an OT educated decision.

I used to be able to shoulder press 2 45's until I got an impingement. Now not sonmush

this is my problem too. even healthy food can make you gain weight if you eat too much at a sitting.

I said it is a helpful indicator to tell where you are. It isn't useless was my point.

Fatty! Go workout :awe:
