a new chapter in my life
Moneypit:
Good Luck with lighter life, my wife has been on it twice, the first time really worked for then we moved, couldn't find a new group locally and she fell off the wagon.
You will need to see it all the way through though as the beginning eating phase is quite important in re-educating your brain and body as to what you can eat.
The second time she did it, I joined her for the first two weeks, so I can fully understand what you are going through, and although it was a quick way to drop a stone, it came straight back once I started eating. The group wasn't realy for her though and then she had some medical tests and was told by the Doctor to come off it.
Personally I prefer to train and moderate what I eat and will be giving Body for Life a go once I'm back off my holidays in the middle of August, can't see any point in starting before as that's planning to fail!

ok, ive found a BMI calculator online for anyone who is interested :D

Manicminer:
My BMI is 31.1.
That makes me obese according to the charts :roll:
I have mostly been muscle up to a couple of years ago when I started sitting on my arse driving machinery. I have lost some muscle tone and put on about half a stone in that time.
I should be slightly overweight. Even my doctor says the charts don't cover anyone who has more muscle than the average rake.
freeagent:
according to the BMI scale, every player in the USA's NFL football league was rated as over-weight last year, with almost all of them classes as obese....
i know some of them are a bit lumpy, but i think theres a hole in the system somewhere...
strapping young lad:
