Anorexia beckons

Err no, it most certainly doesn't. Sdaly I was incredeibly overweight and
it'll take a long time to lose it. I was verging on morbidly obese - now I'm
not. Now I'm *almost* merely overweight as opposed to obese.

Cheer up, I though you were but a slip of a girl when I met you in Paris
after you had finished the Tour de France (well, the Randonnee anyway!)

Dear Rob the tall bloke :-)

You are a sweetie, but alas I was not a slip of a girl. I was a lot slimmer
than I had been, but I'd put it all back on between then & December 04. BAH!
Double BAH! I am now slimmer than I was in Paris, but still am officially
obese but almost merely overweight. HURRAH! I aim to get to a healthy weight
for my height and stay there (that's the hard bit).

Cheers, helen s

You just need to grow a bit more. I had to get to 6'6" before I was the
right height for my weight ;-)

H'mmm. When I was first 6'3" I was exactly twice the weight that Waffly
has lost. Sadly, I'm nearly double that now. There is a happy medium
somewhere between the two.

Unless my arithmetic is up the spout, that is still less than 13 stone,
a perfectly reasonable weight for your height.

That'll be somewhere in mid yorkshire then?

If I lost the same as Helen, I'd be down to something appropriate for my
height..

I already have.. Well almost. Lost 15 kg over autumn 2003/spring 2004 and
kept most of it off. Now looking to do the same again.

A perfectly reasonable weight for someone _else_ my height, yes. Not one
_I_ feel comfortable about. Eleven stone would be nice.

What's your body fat percentage? I reckon height v weight is as close
to totally unreliable as makes no odds. I've been borderline obese on
the BMI charts with body fat of under 15%.

I'm 6'2" and if I drop to, say, 12 and a half stone (not much chance of
that these days) then I find that whenever I go somewhere to eat I get
given extra large portions as I tend to look rather emaciated. That extra
inch you have Simon will have people cramming Mars bars down your gob 🙂
