I'm almost obese!!
 

Well, despite my best efforts and new diet and gym routine, according to the 'experts' I'm almost Obese! :rolleyes:

I checked out some dieting sites and contacted a company that work out BMI's etc. I entered my age, height and weight.

Age: 30
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 12st 12lbs

BMI 27.2

"Dear Dan, I'm afraid you are grossly overweight"

With a BMI of 30 I would be classed a Obese. Here is a pic I took today, I look a bit pasty so sorry if you've just eaten. I take a pic each week to see the difference in body shape/size. Granted, I'm not ripped yet but I've made huge improvements in 1 week, but grossly overweight! C'mon. We live in a messed up world.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Nice moobs,lol.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

And this was me one week ago. Sorry to keep posting half naked pics of me but I'm just chuffed to bits with my results, despite being almost OBESE! Pfffft!

Besides, I love being half naked. :rolleyes:

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

I've never been a fan of BMI...

Muscle weighs more than fat, volume for volume. FACT.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Thanks, they feel so soft and firm. :D

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

You do realise that when you go psycho in a shop with a sawn off, those are the shots the news will use ;)

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

PMSL!!!! :laughat:

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Ahh, the real reason you didn't go out today, playing with you moobs :D

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Moobs, I love that word. :p

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

are you trying to get to an ideal weight?

im the same height as you only two stone lighter

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

salt + wound...

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

To be honest, no. I don't even care what weight I am. I go by how I look. Hence the weekly pictures. I just think sometimes the whole BM thing can really make people feel poo about themselves. As long as you look okay and are happy with yourself then it's all good. I'm just not even close to be happy about how I look.:smt088

baph, it's all good, I have an extra large...................pair of moobs.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

hehe no fence meant :) just wondered :smt090

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Oh hey none taken at all. If I was worried about what people thought I wouldn't be posting half naked pics of myself. :p

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Dan you fat knacker! ;-)

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Poser! If your fat i must be bed ridden:rolleyes: no i wont send a picture because i break lenses

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

I know, I know. It's all those Brittanie burgers! :rolleyes:

I have along way to go to get where I want to be. I guess you have to be a bit of a poser to be worried about how you look, I always had my kit off when I was a kid, got in trouble at school for streaking in the playground!! I try to at least keep my under garments on these days, the heat from the cops is so not worth it. Unless they are chicks, then it all comes off. Wooooo! I hope Mrs Dan won't read this.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Dan, you look fine to me. You're certainly not over-weight as far as I'm concerned:D
















































Although your moobs are bigger than mine:(

Re: I'm almost obese!!

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Dude, that's awesome! :smt003

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

i only asked because his body shape is the same as mine... again no fence but i thought that could be me only two stone heavier.

just needs to lose some pounds and tone up

ill go now, i can hear my coat calling :rolleyes:

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

PMSL!!

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

cheers:D

you can use it as the "before" picture when you show people;)

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Hmm, I don't want to lose 2 stone, I would be a rake!! I will probably end up putting weight on but will lose the flab around my belly and love handles. I weight train really hard and also run a lot and cycle. My aim is to put on lean mass while stll shedding those fatty bits. We'll see next week how it goes. This week was really hard work, I should get used to it though.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

That definitely is an improvement even in one week! Its almost tempting me to get on the case myself. Do you go to the gym for your weights? I can't be arsed to join a gym see.

Oddly, if you show the picture of you and say "I am obese" they look like moobs, but if you show the picture of you and say "I have been working out" they look like pecs. I think it is a lot to do with your mindset when viewing a picture.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

I have cured you of obesity!

http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

According to this one you are Normal Weight (although it did say something about yer ears :D).


No idea how age comes into being obese? when you are 110 can yer be 3 ton or something?

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

27.7 mine is.

6'3" n 16 stone,

I used to get told by occupational in the fire brigade that i was 2 stone over weight :confused:
Yet was one of the fittest in my station, went to the gym 4 times a week, rugby training twice a week and a game on a saturday....go figure.
All these stats are made up by fat people sat on thier **** behind a desk all week :D

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

the BMI is total crap
ignore it

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

My BMI "score" implies i am borderline anorexic.

But...im not.

Its just me :D

Don't worry about BMI, it is overly-approximated and assumes too many things

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

lol dan any excuse to get your kit off.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

What ever it is your doing, stop it. It's making you a miserable f***er. You could at least smile for the photo's.

Oh and I think I have the hots for you. :wink:

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Aw Dan, you do look a bit glum.

But you certainly DO NOT look obese, overweight etc. It irritates me to think that 'official' guidance suggests that someone like you needs to shed some pounds. You'd look like a rake. Ignore it.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

lip up fatty

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Ghey!

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Nice to see you getting your waif-like features out for the camera again Dan, if you post one picture a week I'm sure someone could stitch together a nice gif for the end result? (or there could be a GM calendar in the making for Christmas?)

Anyway....

If its any consolation, I'm 3 stones heavier than you, and my BMI is 27.4

Lets be fat friends together.

Want a cake?

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

:smt044 There are several comments here that made me laugh so hard I just spat my low calorie, low taste, high fibre muesli all over my keyboard. :rolleyes:

Thankyou. Although yesterday was my cheat day I had a bit too much tequila last night, I have deduced that there simply is no room at all for alcohol in my diet plan, even on a cheat day (I have 1 cheat day per week).

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

just go and live in the cupboard under the stairs. life is too short to deprive yourself. if you want it have it. how will you feel in 20 years time (when your my age) and feel life has passed you by. life is for enjoying not worrying about an extra lb you may be carrying. you need some real problems to concentrate on hun lol

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

The gym is my way of destressing. I do have some rather large worries at the moment and when I'm in the gym all that fades away, for an hour at least.

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

leave your moobs out of it ;)

Re: I'm almost obese!!
 

Damn! :D
