Cable Forum - Moans and Pet Hates

Got to post this.. From Google AI.

A man who weighs 7 stone is considered very obese, and their health is at serious risk. Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of developing a number of health problems, including:
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Unhealthy cholesterol levels
Stroke
Type 2 diabetes
Osteoarthritis
Some types of cancer

Unreal.

Google AI hahaha

I am 5 foot 8 inches 55 and 13 stone 9lb and my BMI has me at overweight ( which I actually love because it is the first time in 15 years I have not been obese) so at 7 stone you would have to be like 3 foot tall to be obese

I am 55. I think you could build it up if you took it slow and did not expect to much too soon. Buying a spin bike and using it 15 minutes a day at first was the making of me

Oh damn! Well done on your weight loss

I tried with the help of wellbeing in the town I live in but my energy levels are floored. I'm not motivated at all. I do know that if I loose a huge chunk of weight my energy levels will increase it's just getting down to around 8/9 stone first.

I was told by a dietician to fill my plate with half veg and the other half normal meal and the weight will drop but I just don't get full following that method :(

I'm soo drained of energy too which adds to the heartache. I'd love to do 5k runs to shed the weight. I was doing 5k at 7 stone on a treadmill easy.

7st is seriously not healthy for an adult.

But eating bacon rolls and very little exercise other than walking around at work(7000 steps) isn't helping. Lol

I felt good though. The NHS calculator agrees with you I'd be underweight. It's suggested that 8/9 stone as a healthy number.

How they measure BMI nowadays is pretty useless TBH. When I was in my 20s we used to go around certain parts of the body measuring fat under skin with callipers and used a long forgot formula to come to a more accurate number

Light in the microwave has packed up. Now I need to open it up and find out what bulb it is.

As others have said, BMI is not a great way to measure your health.

I'm 6ft and since the start of 2024, my weight has fluctuated between 16 and 16 and a half stone, depending on what type of weight training I'm doing.

According to my BMI of 31 (give or take 1 either way) I'm obese.

However, my body fat is 15% (Last checked it 2 weeks ago).

At 50 years old it's becoming harder and harder to maintain that percentage however the BMI measurement classing me as "obese" is clearly a pile of old arse-gravy.

You'd need to lose 2kg.

You can lots of gyms have body fat measures but you can get scales like these

Thanks, I've never been to a gym, my idea of exercise is walking around at work, luckily I don't drink much and don't smoke but I'm trying to run up my stairs several times a day in quick succession, my feeling is if that makes me knackered and gets my cardio pumping eventually it'll do something good for me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

And there’s nothing wrong with that. As long as it gets your heart pumping you’re in with a better chance of a calorie deficit.

The scales are handy to have though.
