Diet-Fitness-General Wellness Your Thoughts?

I had heard that BMI bull[Mark May] when I was 195. I was slightly outside "ideal" BMI range. Because... Well, fuck the fact that I was at 8% body fat, apparently.

Well. Its great if you have an average frame and build I guess.

That's just not me. At 185 I'd be probably 8% too. And right on the edge of the range... and I'd look "skinny". Illusion kinda though. Last time I was 185, my dad was 3 bills or so. We wore the same size sport jacket. Same height.

BMI is fine for estimating how fat a population is. The problem with using it on individuals is that everyone thinks they break the formula.

Well.... yeah I mean, the problem of using it on individuals is that its intended for populations (19th century ones at that... I mean its not even fucking paleo). But that's not how its treated...

I went and got my 5 mile run in early this morning, so that I feel a little less guilty with what I eat/drink tonight.

I need to quit weighing myself all the damn time, driving me nuts...I was excited cause on Thursday I weighed 237 (I've been stuck at the 240 mark for at least 4 months). Weighed myself Friday, same thing. Thought all was good and I was finally starting to lose. Weigh myself yesterday, 241, WTF...then today, 242...FFFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKK YOOUUUUUUUU


I went to the gym each day too

I do not weigh myself. I go by how my clothes fit, mainly pants.

Do you weigh yourself at the same time everyday? I thought I heard once, that in order to get an accurate reading from day to day you need to do it at the same time.

 

[Bucknut24]

yes, I try to do it when I first wake up (sometimes after a nice poop if possible)

but the two 237 readings came from middle of the day

One of THE most infuriating things about working on your weight. Once, I ate like 4 eggs total all day, and gained a $*$& pound. It's like your body betrays you...on purpose.

How is this even possible?)

Ignore the scale, go by how your clothes fit you
