a new chapter in my life
strapping young lad:
both are tied since my work, although some physical is mainly desk-based, so first plan is to shift the weight but same time do more excersize then go from there.
Baby_Rhino:
The correct way to work out your Body Mass Index (BMI) is as follows:
BMI = weight (kg) / height(m) x height(m)
If the figure is between;
20-25 you are normal
25-29.5 you are carrying some excess weight
30 and above you and overweight and should slim down for health reasons.
NOTE: If you are extremely athletic and have a very high muscle mass, it will skew the measurements. Ask your trainer or someone at your gym to do a body fat measurement and advise you accordingly
strapping young lad:
so your weight multiplied by your height squared?
mine is over 30 i know that for sure.
i went for the first time to the meetings today and met the guys already on it including the one who has lost 9 stone in 22 weeks
he looks nothing like his old self, but has some saggy bits round his midrift and back of his legs, but he says it doesnt bother him and unless you look for it you dont notice.
i begin the diet tomorrow since its a new day and not start halfway through today. (besides i had toast this morning)

weight divided by your height squared.
dont forget to do light weights to tone everything up as you go along, even simple things like carrying a can of baked beans in each hand helps :wink:
Ok- mine (for example) is 60kg divided by (1.70 x 1.70) = 20.76
Tiny Tim:
Good luck with the diet mate :wink:
I'm 6'4" so being 'not tall enough for my weight' doesn't really cut it :(
