You need to start a thread for the under weight skinnys SS.
You might get all the top runners on your thread.

Well, all apart from me. Besides, they wouldn't want any lard, I'm sure.

Very sorry to hear that, you have my sympathy. My mother died a few years back around this time of year (I deliberately didn't remember the date) when I was in my early twenties so it's always a sad time anyway for me. Hope you get things sorted out as best as you can

Down to 217 thanks to my virus!

I think also a lot of people try to dismiss it cos they don't like the answer it gives them. As we've become chunkier as a society, the perception of 'overweight' has changed - people are a lot less inclined to think of themselves overweight because growing levels of obesity distort the picture, they don't look so bad compared to the top end. The median has changed - and BMI is a bit of a control measure.

Although mine's around 23-24 and 50 years ago I'd probably have been deemed 'thickset'.

I'm halfway to Wormstone :w00t:

Really sorry to hear about your brother TheHeathens http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/images/icons/icon9.png That is terrible news.


SS, I think you should be forced to eat cake til you are back over your target weight as a punishment :angry: ..... No wait, that's not right..... :rolleyes:

I can't shift another bloody lb. Exercising, not drinking, eating far less than last month... :sneaky:

....I'd better get a move on then, though I have to say the scales have not budged downwards at all for me. Thought I could do it with more running but have to admit, I will have to cut back on the calories too. Hey ho.

weighed in last night at 9st 9, not sure what that is in kilos

kazza what are you feeding that CaT??

I've just found myself hitching up my jeans and then noticed I'm one hole less on my belt than I was a couple of weeks ago. Happy days! :coollarge:
