| Re: The all-new, all-singing, all-dancing two stone for whenever thread. haha...calculated BMI for my target weight - turns out that it's just the entry level for "overweight". I've heard folks be harsh on the BMI scale, but seriously - if my desired weight is supposedly overweight on some arbitrary system..that just feels weird. "Yes, I would like to be overweight please"
Most of my weight loss/muscle build is for work since I started doing a few days of physical labour a week. When I started cutting back on fast foods/sodas I was about 240lbs. Right now I'm 175 and looking to go down to around 150ish this year. New roommate's a dietician/fitness instructor/nutritionist so she's kicking my ass with the "EAT HEALTHIER, ASSHOLE" shenanigans.
Current diet is "look idiot, you eat twice a day. Now, I don't care what you eat at first but you will eat 6 times a day if I have to force-feed you" - since moving to that about two weeks ago I've rediscovered the appetite I forgot I ever had, and I've dropped 6-8lbs (I had hit a plateau around 182-188 for the last 12months). My metabolism's up, and next week I'm moving to meal plans (roommate adores the South Beach diet stuff) with not-too-strict guidelines and mostly anaerobic exercise. |
