Topic: How unhealthy are you?Posted By: Smurph
Subject: How unhealthy are you?
Date Posted: June 03 2012 at 17:36
Sure, this might be personal, but really I'm a fatass being 240 and 6 foot 3. So even if you're ashamed you can be ashamed with me!!! :-) I'm exactly at the bottom of the heaviest level of obese. My heart probably has a small piece of sausage lodged in it.
Now I know there are a lot of other things to check when discovering BMI and that its not always on but I don't care. This is just random boredness.
But here are some fun quotes about how the fact that fat people mean less than normal weighted people.
…the immune system can be triggered into action at the sight of obesity because it doesn’t like the look of what it sees, and associates it with infection.
…people who agreed with comments such as “it really bothers me when people sneeze without covering their mouths” were more likely to agree with statement such as “if I were an employer looking to hire, I might avoid hiring a fat person”. The greater the fear of disease, the stronger the negative feeling about obesity.
Yay join me in helping keep fat people like me unemployed and unlikable! Unless of course you want to join our cult, then I can give you some great pointers on what to eat and how to exercize less. :-) I'm gonna go get chipotle after work.

I'd rather be a lanky thin dude than a creepy chubsky. But then again grass is always greener on the other side. I mean, I bet I taste better to predators. Just think how much better the alien overlords will treat me before they kill me for food. "Feed him more Ice Cream and Pudding" they'll say. And you will be "jeal-atin-ous"

Nah, I agree that I'd rather be abnormally skinny than abnormally fat, you can just wear a larger shirt and look the same as everyone!

I've completely given up on my body. I'm only 21 and I feel as if I'm experiencing a mid-life crisis. I'll probably be dead before I'm 40 anyway. I'm about 28 on this scale. I'm about 5-11, somewhere around 215. I don't give a sh*t. I hate life and sometimes a fresh burger makes things seem less sh*tty. I'm not trying to impress anyone anymore.

25.18, so just into the 'overweight' category of the BMI scale. However, I'm quite tall (188cm) and my weight is 89 kgs at the moment, so I'll dare anyone to actually call me fat. I have dropped 5-6 kgs over the last few months with no conscious effort behind it, I just reduced my intake of bread. Not eating half a loaf for lunch every day makes a difference. My stomach is less bloated as well as a result, so that's a double positive.
Now, if only I could find the time to ride my bike more often...

When I was about 20, my BMI was 19-20
When I was about 30, my BMI was 23
Now I'm 52, my BMI is about 26.5 (I peaked at 28.4 last autumn) and I have become a diabetic some years ago.

The BMI is an incredibly flawed metric that has almost nothing to do with health. With that said, mine is 22.0.

25 dead on, last time I've checked. I've put on a lot of muscle and stayed close to the same weight in the past year or so, so I bet it's a tad lower.

Also, this. Some of the methods for measuring BMI are laughable. I have a bunch of loose skin since I was over weight, so the whole relax your abs and measure around the waist bit is malarky for me.

Indeed, I know for a fact I'm healthier than people I know with lower ones. I just got a bit of a belly from college laziness. I know people that are freaks and never do much and eat like pigs yet are always thin.
...Which I refuse to believe is very healthy, just a hunch

Portion control and light exercise. Nothing extensive, actually. Just consuming less calories and walking for 40 minutes 3-5 times a week.

Three easy steps for weight loss:
1) Cut sugary drinks out of your life. Everything you drink should be either calorie-free of very low-calorie. That may seem hard, but you have no idea how easy it is once you get past the initial change.
2) Eat smaller portions. For someone your size and weight, you need around 2500 calories a day to maintain your weight. Keep track of your calories - try to consume no more than around 2000 daily.
3) Go on light walks.
And then just wait - you'll start losing the weight. Don't get discouraged; I was for a long time, and still am to a certain extent. It's not as hard as you think.
I'm no professional, but this works. Assuming, of course, that this is even an issue you care about.

It's actually very similar advice to that given to my mother some years ago; her doctor told her the most effective way to lose weight is to eat exactly what she was used to, but less of it.
Simple.

Not that I do that a lot. I go to those Bikram yoga classes, though.

I'm devoting my summer to slimming down- even if I accomplish nothing else!
Since I'm off in the summer, I can concentrate on preparing dishes that are appropriate for weight loss. This morning, I had one poached egg over a piece of whole wheat toast. For lunch, I am making a small pizza from scratch (caraway seeds and honey in the crust, topped with onions and mozzarella cheese). For supper, it's a bit of boneless, skinless chicken breasts that I'll cook somehow and pair it with squash.
I enjoy planning not just suppers, but all three meals of the day. Cooking is a delight.
