I have just been accused of cheating! Grrrr! The results page
did not open properly so I assumed hitting the Vote button again
might be necessary!

To quote Garfield, " I'm not overweight, I'm undertall".

According to the weight/height chart I should be 8ft 4 in tall.

Perhaps you haven't grown to your full height yet. Maybe your growth is just
very slow. But hey, you already reached the weight goal. You're half way
there.

Those charts are a crock of shit!!

When I was at my *supreme* peak of fitness in the Army, I went for my
yearly Med check. The stupid bloody Indian/Asian Doctor called me back
and told me that I was overweight and that if I didn't lose 12-15kgs in
the next month or so, I was going to be stood down from my position
(something I had worked *bloody* hard to get to) and possibly kicked
out/transferred back to my old Unit.

I'm 6'2" and weighed 100kgs. I stripped down buck naked and asked him
where the hell I was going to lose the 12-15kgs from, as I didn't have
an ounce of fat on me. I asked him if he would like to amputate one of
my legs so that I could achieve his stupid bloody charts goal weight.

According to his 'all knowing' chart, at the very *maximum* I was
supposed to be 88kgs.

I once conducted a test to see if I could actually get down to that
"ideal weight". I actually hit 89kgs, and when I went and saw some
friends at a party, some of them came up crying..... they thought I was
dying from Cancer.

I flew out to the States a couple of days later and landed back in
Perris Valley. The first time my friends there saw me it was "F***,
what's wrong Pete, what's happened? Are you OK? It's not Cancer, is it?"

I told them what had happened, and they immediately took me out for beer
and pizza :-)


Those charts are made for some limpwristed, non-active types, because
muscle sure as hell weighs a lot heavier than fat.


Case in point, I had a photo taken with this guy I used to know. He was
about 6'5" and looked like Haystacks Calhoun. I felt like a midget next
to him.

He weighed *less* than I did!!!!!!


So yes......... my 'fighting weight' is 100kgs, and they can take their
stupid bloody charts, roll them tightly, stick them up their collective
arses and set them on fire and run down the street doing the "dance of
the flaming arseholes" for all I care!!

Don't they do the body fat index thing in cases like that?

Well, actually they're not. What they are is a guide. First you look
at the chart, then you look at the person and apply some intelligence.
Sounds like this doctor forgot the second part.

They are made for "average" people. Doesn't sound like you have an
average body type.

Most of them forget the second part.

Legs like tree trunks (good for lugging large weights over long
distance), big shoulders, and built like a brick shithouse :-)

My doctor just found that I have a malfunctioning thyroid. I had to
start taking medication. Maybe now I'll be able to maintain my weight
with a little more than 900 calories per day and going to the gym every
day.

It must be good to learn if you've been struggling with that diet
regimen and exercise regimen. I'm glad you found out, Janet.
First step to fixing it.
