That new font gets worse every time I see it.

Be a font and, not a drain....

 

[chavisut]

I'm not disciplined enough to maintain a healthy diet long term. More than that, I don't think it's worth it. To me personally anyways. I am seriously almost miserable after maybe 3-4 days of a restrictive diet. As long as I am not fat and/or don't receive bad medical results, then i don't want to deny myself good (again taste and amount) food. I guess maybe I won't ever get the full results I want. Sigh. Ha

Enjoy food and lift heavy. Do mobility work and short conditioning a few times a week. Win.

Awful

Disagree. I like it.

 

[BigOrange15]

Is that shirt red ?

No. Still not understanding the effects of lighting?

Really? It's doing the opposite for me.

Question for you guys who have been workout gurus for years:


How do you make peace with being borderline "overweight" based on the BMI scale? Or am I the only OCD-afflicted idiot who this bothers?

I have been a scale-watcher for many years, making sure I stayed in a certain weight range (like I said, OCD). My wife kept hinting or sometimes outright telling me she would like me to gain some weight/muscle. Anyways, I have started working out and gaining some muscle mass. And so of course that means my weight has gone up as well. Which is hard for me to watch with my OCD. But I am trying to deal with it. My wife likes the new look. Ha

But now, based on the BMI formula, my weight puts me right at the 25 limit where one is typically considered "overweight".

Anyways, do you guys just not pay attention to stuff like that? I guess they're kind of just arbitrary numbers, but still....

BMI does not apply at all in your situation.
Remove BMI from anything you monitor.

Still on the fence personally

 

[Skullbone]

The font is okay, but it's hard to beat the good ole power t.

Yeah. I think simple block letters would be better.

Yep, I've been so down about the program lately....

Just messing, chavis. Was following up to his Energy Bus comment, but wasn't trying to direct it towards anyone. You good by me.

 

[volatil]

Sam they have your size


Do you even workout bro?

Thanks Doc!

One of my concerns would be if I got get something like more life insurance and they list me as overweight and thus not give me the best rating and rate. I got the best possible one on my current policy (from six years ago).

If you don't like the font then don't buy it. It's just a basic rushed shirt to get people desperate for a nike shirt to buy it when they normally wouldn't since it's the only option available. july 1st is when the good stuff hits

Ha sorry. Long, hot day.

But, you can eat things that you want, and it's also about portion control. You can eat 3 pieces of pizza; just don't eat 6.

Sounds good. But then what about the main entree?

Same here. I don't mind it.

My doc essentially said "p*ss on it".

I'm 5' 10". At my worst, I got up to about 320. Bit the bullet, joined a gym last November. I've dropped about 50 pounds so far, the next 50-70 will be much harder because I see now I will really have to change my eating habits. Working out is second nature now, I literally get cranky if I don't.

But I digress. According to the chart, I "should" weigh between 170-180. In talking to the doctor, he said don't even worry about that right now. He said with the way my numbers have changed just with what I've done in the last 6 months, if I settle out somewhere between 200-215 I should be fine considering my build. If I concerned myself with that number now, I'd probably frustrate myself into quitting.

He actually laughed and said with my gigantor head, if I got down to 170, I'd look like a beachball on a broomstick (and said, given my activity level at work and at the gym, he would start to be concerned).

Granted, I'm in a much different situation than you, but it still seems to be the last thing to worry about in a lot of cases.
