Ok how much do you measure and weigh?

Castout · 10-29-2010, 08:54 PM

I'm not a tall guy I'm 175 cm tall (5.74 feet)

and I used to weigh 75 kg or 165 lb though I don't look that big at all.
Some weeks ago I cut down my jogging routine due to injured knee while not changing my eating habits and when I checked on the scale my weight rose to 78 kg! or 172 lb.

Worried about being obese and gaining even more weight I decided to go on diet. And after about 3 weeks with 2 weeks serious diet by just having a single starfruit as my lunch meal and no breakfast(had only fruit salad for lunch on the first week). . . .and returning to a minimum 3 times a week jogging routine for 3 weeks . . .I have managed to shave some weight.

This morning when I checked on the scale I weigh just 72.5 kg or almost 160 lb.

I'm planning to go to 72 kg as now I already look pretty slim. Any less I would look too skinny.

I realize it will take permanent change of eating habit to keep me in this range.

And so what's your situation with your weight and body mass index?

Good luck with that. I am about 35 pounds down and no "dieting" just a lifestyle behavour change.

Good luck

Shaved 35 pounds? That's a lot! Congratulation! It's good to be healthy and safe

35 since the first of the year. I am pretty proud of that.

Now only if I can survive the holidays without stuffing my face, I should be ok for next year.

Just a note mate, BMI is a horrible indicator of health. I have friends who are avid weightlifters and well built, but BMI says they are obese. So if you have a lot of muscle that might factor into it.

According to the BMI calculator, my weight is ok, but my height is way off.
