welcome old bean

[Deleted User]

oh, ok, just being dumb in a well meaning but mis-guided kind of way...

I have to agree with fbf - I am deeply sceptical as to whether BMI counts for anything whatsoever.... My BMI is 26.4 - I've never been fitter in my life, run/cycle 5 times a week, ran the FLM in 3 1/2 hours... I am NOT overweight!

fat buddha

rocks - if you aint overweight get out. no - don't mean that really.

a BMI of 25 was arbitrary. to keep out the real skinnies.

[Deleted User]

18.6

But yes i agree, if you were all muscle (and as well all know, muscle weighs more than fat) it would say you were overweight

Ratcatcher

28!!!!

Thanks, fbf, this is an excellent idea. I get so miserable thinking I am the only hard-exercising overweight runner around.

fat buddha

18,6 DBSA?? positively skeletal. get out

[Deleted User]

18.6 DBSA that makes you painfully thin bring on the fat girls

Dr Nic Twinks

Cripes.

fat buddha

now we can start a league table here although I can't be arsed to keep the scores.

who's got the highest BMI and how old and what's your best half marathon time (knowing that not all have done a mara)

me first:

BMI 32.3
Age 50
Best 1/2 1:45;08

maybe we can find the fittest age adjusted porker?

[Deleted User]

thanks fbf - liked the Tommy Cooper gags elswhere btw!

I watched a marathon recently (event name withheld in case person to be mentioned visits here) and early on in the race this guy came by and he was really quite blubbery with men's boobs and all and I thought he won't last long at that pace!

He finished in under 4 hours which is far better than I can do so he must have trained well, yet he hadn't toned up or lost the body fat. How frustrating would that be?

Dr Nic Twinks

Yeah but you're a girly. Guys have lower BMIs.

Anyway you're very lucky, just to leedle for this thread!

But so am I technically so come on....off we go...

[Deleted User]

BMI are only approx. guides. Mine is 21.74, for me to go under 20 and be 'officially underweight' i'd need to lose a stone and a half, but if i lost that i'd be hospitalised by my family as I'm naturally heavy but don't carry much weight if you see what i mean. Heavy tape worms in my gut i reckon.

Dr N - could you please set up the scales please as I may refer a few skeletons over to you for a checkup. 18.6? can hear the bloody bones rattling now.

[Deleted User]

Those charts have always considered me underweight but i just have a very light bone structure and not much muscle, im trying to work on that tho

Right thats my last post i promise

[Deleted User]

Sam panther yhats 45 mins more than i've ever run

[Deleted User]

Sam Panther

Given the amount of running I have done recently, I am not sure I will improve on that time.

Ok off for a run.....
