Well, thank god your not a doctor!! I am probaby 2 stone overweight, heading towards obese, and now reining it in. Want to get towards a semi fit, then fit status. I feel better with losing weight, but like all guys of a certain age find it quite hard.
I do need to lose it. Don't get me wrongs, as i get fitter, the fat will turn to muscle which weighs more, so it will be a slow process, but one I am determined to see though to the bitter end!!
I have cold hands does that count?
Only if you have elbow patches too.
In fact i'm wearing brown cords right now with sensible shoes
no really :roll:Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0 -

Well in my case, consider the context of a guy who's 5' 7" or so. 14st puts me well in the obese category, and around 28% body fat according to my bioelectrical impedance scales (admittedly not necessarily accurate, but it's definitely up there).
I consider that unhealthy.0 -
I'm just over 6'2" and currently 14st4lb. According to my scales I have body fat of 25.6% which is outside the healthy range and in terms of cycling is very definitely obese!! Still breathing.....0

Count me in.
I am currently 17 st 2 lbs. Target is 13st 7 lbs by 1st May. Can someone add me to the green thing, I have no idea how it works.
Before anyone points out that I'm the fattest person here - I am probably also one of the tallest!Rules are for fools.0 -

Never sure how much weight (sorry) to give to the BMI for highly tuned athletes like us .
It's certainly a warning indicator if you're not within the 'normal' range but professional rugby players can be classified as overweight/obese on the BMI scale simply because of their sheer muscle bulk. (Although I can state with confidence that that doesn't apply to me)
Good news for us all though from last week's New Scientist - it's better to be overweight & fit then the ideal weight & unfit
Having said all that, I still want to lose the weight.......0 -

Yeah, I know, BMI is a very rough and ready estimation, but it's really just something to aim for. Given I've been at or over 105kg since I was rowing competitvely at age 16, getting to 90kg is going to be VERY hard, but it's possible. Gaz has showed us what you can do if you want it enough.
I'd rather fail to reach a difficult goal than reach an easy goal and feel like I could have done better!FCN 6 in the week on the shiny new single speed.

Fair play
I did (for a week or so) achieve a normal BMI last year but decided I felt healthier slightly above. Unfortunately I then meandered back to being considerably above so am trying to get back down. If I could get back down to about 13 and lose the gut I'd be very happy0 -
