Your Health

Title says it all, due to Quins oh so great suggestion, can just leave this as a topic about health and what not.

I'll start, my BMI is currently 16.1 <-- unhealthy.

Who would wanna know if your fat or not... Healthy or unhealthy...
This isn't a date site... Is it? :O

Well some of us cares for eachother (Or am i being delusional agai-.. uuh pink squrriels..)

That point aside, some people might really be interested in it, so i made a thread for it.

I've no idea what my BMI is. :O I shall have to consult the Wii Fit!

No idea. Don't care for BMI as a measurement of anything frankly. I look at myself, and I'm pretty happy.

That's cool for me!

I like how you're thinking

Sites all give different shit.

Some say under 20 is unhealthy, others 18.5, etc.

For example, on yours I'm 19.9, thus healthy.

On another I'm 19.6, which is unhealthy as the min is 20 there.

/shrug, what matters more would be fat percentage.

Back when I last did a medical check my BMI was unhealthy for my age.
But I was perfectly healthy for size and height and most importantly - genes.

So frankly I don't care for that nonsense.

I don't go by BMI

I do believe that Ave's trying to make a thread about health.

Yep exactly.

Shae's not fat... at all.

BMI is generally accepted as total bollocks tbh.

When my mate, who boxes for the RAF, is in prime physical condition, is considered morbidly obese despite not carrying an once of excess fat..... Well that tells you how good BMI is as a measure.

Ofcourse theres those odd ones out, but im abit of a tard with naming topics, this is also for health overall, suggestions, questions, tips and all that stuff, stories even, just, health!

Rename it to 'your health' darling! I'm sure people have ideas to share regardless.

As people are saying, the Army is currently going through a hissy fit related to civil servants latest lunacy of adding a BMI check to the fitness test. Our rugby teams and boxers etc are currently traumatised by the prospect.

BMI is next to useless but rest safely in the knowledge I'm as fit as can be and an absolute machine. Huzzah!

17.5. Better than a year ago.

At the end of the day, nothing beats a well balanced diet, one which isn't some silly fad and 'cuts out' certain things, just one that get's everything you need while making you happy.

Then enough exercise to keep you healthy, that will get you good health, even if it doesn't mean your skinny, I'm fit and healthy, well apart from my lungs which are at times awful due to asthma, but I can't do a thing about that.

I'm technically obese since I've been on some very heavy courses of steroids over the last few years and banned from exercise to allow lungs to recover, and steroid weight doesn't shift easily.

But know this, making yourself unhappy in pursuit of 'perfect' health is pointless, I was like that for years, and never happy, now I am happy, I'm fat and have never looked more unfit, but I know I do what I can and know I'm still who I am. The only time I've ever been remotely depressed was when I was at my fittest, I'd devoted so much to being perfectly fit I'd let the rest of my life slip.

So yeah, my point with all this..... Balance, it's so important to everything, physical health goes hand in hand with mental, always make sure if your working hard at getting fit, give yourself a day off from it now and then, never let the pursuit of perfect physical fitness dominate your life, at the end of the day, being perfectly fit won't stop you being hit by a bus.

So yeah, though it's important your not a slough who never exercises and eats crap all the time, I would never recommend a total change to a life of constant exercise and boredom with food for the pursuit of something that doesn't guarantee happiness.

The most pure of purest wins right there.

That isn't fat, that's charisma, as my father used to say.

I just need to get my charismatic self to the gym more often.
Also, ask those sun damn flowers who can't keep it in their pants how my health is *sneezes**snivles* ._.

After a long bout of illness I'm on a treatment that looks to be working and as a result I can put weight on again. I'm hard weight training and eating right, putting on weight, getting toned and dropping my bodyfat. I'll reserve two tickets in a months time.

18.6 but my body is a temple and my ass is carved out of wood

I know the feeling! I spent the entire day at work sneezing my head off. I work outside with animals, so not good! :<

A person's gut type might help to determine whether people can eat all they like and stay slim, whether they will experience more gut pain than others when sick and how well they can metabolize a certain drug.
