Weight loss update: Normal at last
I weighed in today at 204 pounds, putting my Body Mass Index at 24.8, below the official threshold for “overweight.” Now I’m normal. Kinda.
Accordingly, the “Matt’s Fat Ass Update” box in the sidebar has been amended.
Glad to know that the cold beer as a meal replacing shake diet is working!
Do you actually measure your BMI somehow, or rely on those conversion charts?
I think those conversion charts can really be misleading (because of differences in body type and muscle mass). I have one of those electronic scales that measures BMI on the basis of electrical impedance. It seems to work okay, although I think it’s consistently a little low in my case.
My wife has one of those electronic BMI/weight scales. Works great for her. Every time I get on it it sits for a few seconds, then shows “ERR” for 2-3 seconds, then promptly shuts down. I’m sticking with the explanation that my feet are too big for the machine — it has nothing to do with my actual size/weight, I’m sure of it! (Stupid electronic gadgets.)
