Body Mass Index what a load of rubbish!

BMI calculators aren't accurate, but our body fat calculator is

In a new study, scientists confirmed that the most telling metric emphasizes abdominal fat.

I suspect that's rather simplistic - just try to exercise in ways that you find tolerable, count the calories and try to make inroads. And accept that progress is for the most part slow and steady.

My dad and mum are endomorphs too.

I think one used to be on TV with Tony Hart.

That's interesting Gray. Don't have to do the string test as I'm 68" tall and have a waist measurement of 34", my BMI score is 27 = overweight. I did see a program once that said if your BMI score equalled the acceptable range then you tend to look underweight, at BMI 27 you look more healthy.

I am 5'10" with 34 waist and 40" chest and my BMI is 24.4. This was ascertained after a hospital appointment last month so I am almost overweight. Eek!

10 years ago I had a BMI of 16! 2 years later have one at 33 after loads of antipsychotics and antidepressants.

Finally managed to lose some weight around 4 pounds and about to diet even more. Managed to cut the 2 chocolate bars a day to none!

One thing I can’t cut out is Lurpak though.

You can bet that knocked the 4 pounds off.
Keep it up

Let's say 250kcal per bar - that's 14,000kcals per 4 weeks. Body fat contains 3,500kcals per pound, which comes to exactly 4lbs. Spooky, eh?!

I can't gauge mine by the scales - don't even own a pair. But judging by fit of clothes, I'm doing pretty well at present - still some to lose, but not too far from where I want to be. Upped the size of weights and numbers of reps each morning - anything that gets your heart going is good for burning those calories.

The main thing that got me started was not eating a chocolate bar just before I went to sleep - that’s where most of my lost pounds have come from.

...works wonders for me every morning.
Up, down.....up, down....then the other eyelid.

Try resting a coin on it - they'll tone up like you won't believe!

I am into my 38 size shorts now.

Good for you!

Good for you!

So I have lost around 5 pounds in total and now I can’t lose any more! Makes me wonder what’s the point and I might as well go back to eating 2 chocolate bars and weigh 5 pounds more, I am stable and both weights.
