R. Rich Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 "First person who says that to my face, I'll punch you" 271172[/snapback] When I first started seeing my doctor in '96, I was 6-6 and about 279lbs. After a few visits, I was down to 267 and he was saying I was obese. Crazy! Presently, I weight 339lbs and I know I don't want to stay there. I hope to get down to around 255-265. Of course, I'll still be 'obese' according to some charts. Here's a decent article I found that talks about ideal body weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a pleasure to watch Shaq Diesel. i hate to admit it but I do like a team from Miami. Dwayne Wade is the man, too. Buffalo's own Christian Leattner is playing some good ball also.

If he's obese what the hell do you call Ted Washington? 271215[/snapback] He is obese, by any definition. So am I, though. I have lost about 20 lbs since November, but I hope to lose a lot more. If I work at it enough, I can get down to around 285-290 by the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll lose the weight fast but you'll gain it back even faster when you start to consume more carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been three years or so. He's lost a lot of weight (he's at around 175 I think), but what's the point if you can't eat anything good anymore?

stevestojan Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I'm 6'6 and 245. Yet, any chart will tell you I'm obese. I think the ideal weight for someone my height is around 212. Funny part is, I weighed that much about 2 years ago (I worked at a gym). I was waaaay too thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was walking about 4-5 miles at a time, but only about 2 or 3 times a week. Now, I do it daily. I still drink beer and eat junk, just not nearly as much or as often.

The 'ideal weight' isn't even something doctors have totally agreed on. At one time, I planned to be around 235-245, but that's too small. When I was in school, I ran track at 195 and played football at around 210. There's no way I could stand being that small anymore. It just doesn't look good. I want to be around 255-265, somewhere in that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accoriding to most charts, that's healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCBillsFan Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The south beach diet works really well. The first two weeks are really tough but after that you can start to add some things back. The food is good but you have to cook every day. Oh, you eat 5 times a day too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I'm just not into dieting. I've found that by just moderating the amounts I eat, and by exercising more, I can lose weight too. That works for me. Like I said, I was about 360 back in November, now I'm down to 339. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how i have lost weight for track season this year, and i was faster until i hurt my knee, but this has worked for me during high school for wrestling, and now in college for track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
