September 3, 201511 yr Yes I am and glad you brought it up. Saw my doc for a wellness, he tells me my optimum weight, 186....I tipped out at 250. Said I need to lose 64 pounds. I bargained at 30...In three weeks I'm down 15 by watching what I eat, cutting sugars, etc... Last night I destroyed an entire Dewey's pizza...didn't even phase me, could have done 2...it was my cheat day :clap:
September 3, 201511 yr 6'0 220 17%BF. Not going to be on the cover of any magazines but not too bad, but BMI wise, I'm going to die soon.
September 3, 201511 yr I'm just past the midpoint of "overweight" on the way to obese. I don't think I'm really all that close to obese, but I am certainly overweight. Like some, I don't know if the calculations work to me. The lowest weight I've reached in the last 10 years came two years ago while biking all the time, when I got to 158 points. I'm 5' 5.5" and it said I'm still overweight. I'd have to hit weights I haven't hit since I was a sophomore in college at age 20 to be "normal". I don't think my soon-to-be 32 year old body is going to make that weight....

I'm 6'3 288...the same size I was in high school and my college playing weight. I'll be 34 this winter. I can't lose weight to save my life & outside of my cheat day (Fat Kid Friday's), I eat like a Rabbit (the foods. I eat spinach like it's going out of style & usually an Avocado a day. I drink ONE coke a week...a Cherry Coke on Friday. No sugar in my coffee. None of the usual suspects). I just had my yearly physical...all of my bloodwork came back perfect (Fasting Blood Sugar was just a tad high...105 instead of the below 100 like the norm says). I can't figure it out. I bet I walk at least 3-5 miles a day with my job and just planned exercise. I'm about to say screw it....be the king at maintaining, weigh my almost 290 and wear a 40 (42 at biggest) waist.

No dietician, but how many calories do you eat per day? You may not be eating enough for how active your work day is. Also, do you lift?
September 3, 201511 yr No dietician, but how many calories do you eat per day? You may not be eating enough for how active your work day is. Also, do you lift? Appreciate the insight!! No bother at all. I'm taking in 2K at least. Lifting wise, at least 2-3 times a week (like this week...got in Monday and Tuesday....21-15-9 Crossfit type deal with a co-worker....upper on Monday, lower body on Tues.....squat and cleans w/ 135). My days look like this usually: Breakfast- High protein/low carb shake OR 3 egg white omelet with spinach. Around 10- Always walk out the door with about 20 almonds I keep in my pocket and eat. Lunch- Salad...all spinach based w/ Tuna (in water, drained of course). Very little Ranch dressing...I mean, very little and some of my wife's vinagarette. Tomoatoes/Olives. 2 or so- Scoop of Natural Peanut Butter 4- Banana 6-7: A good supper. More times than not, another salad like lunch. I probably drink 70-80 ounces of water a day. I'll have a drink (bourbon/water) every other night...sleep potion. My weekends? I'll toss a few back (literally a few). I'll take all the suggestions I can get Mex.
September 3, 201511 yr Can't judge a BMI by appearances...I am overweight at 6'2" 198. Actually I aspire to be 190 to 195.... a lean, mean, machine.
