73.5 and 74.6 - I'm out of energy.

The red point is the end of the last published diagram.

hey we have the same weight!

It stopped finally (?).

72.1 / 73.8, at least it's getting slower.

I'm around 189/95 now  , my BMI is between 26 and 27. Slight overweight.

I would have to lose 6 kgs to equal the upper limit of the normal weight.

Ideal would be 80 kgs, according to the BMI table.

91.5 kgs according to the scale, without having a diet. Living apart from parents changed some things...

BMI table is not that accurate anyway. I'm 180cm and my ideal weight (determined by a doc) is around 82 because I have broad shoulders and practice Judo (so I should have more muscle than the average). My brothers ideal weight is around 82 as well because he's tall but smaller in shoulders and hip than me, even though he's 189cm tall. So it's best to get it checked by a doc instead of using that BMI table.

Well, BMI really has some problems, since it does not take into account some things:

- gender (I think between a girl and a boy with the same height, a boy has a higher ideal weight)
- muscles (which is heavier than fat)
- body frame (for example me and our family have quite heavy bones)
- and somewhat surprising, but height (even the English Wikipedia admits that an exponent higher than 2 would be more realistic... the system 'favours' the shorter people... even CTG and me had already noticed this)

Considering all the things (male, 28.5, muscular legs, weak upper body, relatively massive body frame, 189 cms of height), I think the BMI table values are close to truth. It says my NORMAL weight is between 71 and 89 kgs, 80 kgs is ideal (89-107 kgs overweight, 107+ obesity). I find 71 too little for a man like me, but I consider 83 kgs as my own ideal weight, because at the age of 20-22 (with having all maleish features developed in me) I ran very good times with that weight data. My current weight is in real can be around the limit of the normal weight and overweight.

Then I started to do less sports (no university P.E. classes, our football team fell apart, I abandoned running, only cycling remained), I started to like beer and my body did not immediately notice that I'm a mature man - my stomach needed the same amount of food for a while (it's something like the demographic transition  ). My body weight reached as high as 99 kgs a few years ago.

Now I'm living apart from my parents and I'm a working man now, I have taken up hiking - my weight started to fall at last. I'm on the right way without a diet to get into the 80s again.

Btw I've read that BMI between 25-30 (especially closer to 25, like mine, which is around 26 now) practically does not contribute anything to health risk... It is more like an aesthetic aspect.

71.5 / 73.4

I have to eat more and more. Yesterday it was damned hard to finish a 32 cm pizza (okay, it was a spicy one with hot pepper). Few years ago it was an easy task for me.

[zaqrack]

That's totally normal.

When I was 17, I was still hungry after eating a 32cm pizza.
When I was 23, one pizza was just fine.
Today I can only eat 60-75% of it.

Same weight throughout. No change.

Yeah, the recipe of a typical Friday night in 2007 was:

- 3-4 portions of chili beans / lecsó or a 32 cm (sometimes 45 cm) pizza
- huge pocket of chips
- 300-400 g cheese
- 3 l beer (or 1.5 l wine)

Good old times close to 100 kg...

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Some food are too delicious to stop eating it when it is enough for your body... for example pizza, chili beans, spaghetti etc. ... I can eat them even if I'm absolutely not hungry, or if I am hungry, I can eat more of it than that would be sufficient for me...

But when I eat food which I don't really like, 500-600 kcal/portion can be enough for me...

That's why you are a Zsírpoo!

Another record in the air - the gastroscopic examination had a serious effect.
