WTF

They've got some health checks available at work. Do your height, blood pressure and resting heart rate then stand on a set of "scales" which then measures body fat etc. My blood According to them I was carrying 31.2kg of body fat with a body fat percentage of about 32%. My "metabolic age" (ie actually how old was body) was 57 Now I'm not in perfect shape, but I don't think I'm carrying over 60lbs of body fat Oh yes and my ideal weight is about 80kg (176lbs - about 12st 8lbs). The only way I'm going to get to that weight is either by severe food poisoning, or by losing a leg The past few weeks I've been hitting the gym on a morning just doing a bit of cardio and a bit of ab and leg work. Only 30-40 mins. Did the check last Friday and while I have gained a kg in weight my body fat has gone down to about 29kg. And my "metabolic age" is now 49. I am somewhat cynical of the measures done by the scales, as for a proper measure of body fat you need to do a full hydrostatic weighing and need proper ECG etc to get the proper state of your heart. However, I'm using the machine measures as a guide/ indication (which is what I think of them as) of how I'm doing and its looking good. My BMI however (that measure that people put so much faith in) is 34!! SO I'm at massive risk of coronary heart failure, liver problems, Type 2 diabetes etc. Now for those who know me, yes I need to loose a little weight, but I don't think I'm going to keel over from heart failure. So for anyone using BMI, or bady fat %s, remember they are only indicators and don't get too wrapped up in the figures themselves. In the end, it's how you feel Right, off to the gym now

Shame mate

I think so Dick, don't trust the weather at the moment

Given the thread I'm continuing a theme here and nothing else. I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm unusual in that I still have both parents. Among my friends I'm the only one with both parents living; plus I still have a single grandparent from each side as well. As those who know me will know I have two boys, both fully grown now, a young daughter (there has been the occasional pic on here) and two grandchildren. I class myself as very fortunate to still have both parents and am glad that my kids have been able to know their grandparents and great-grandparents. It has helped my Dad stay young (he taught both to ride bikes) and kept him out of my Mams way Large families have their own problems, as with everything, but overall I have been lucky in having a large family around me while I was growing up and still having most of it now for the kids to experience, in all its forms

Sounds good to me and everyones happy.

Same for me

Welcome on board. Good to see someone else from the SE on here

Not all the time, but do get it

Respect for that Not catch me doing that. Not even over a humpback bridge

Looks a bit unstable through the corners
