RE: Re:how much weight to lose

[Guest guest]

I once asked a policeman I know to run a snap of me through their forensic

photography softwear--you know, the one that will show how a person would have

looked when s/he was younger, or probably would look when s/he is older, or will

change someones hairstyle, etc. I asked him to find out what I would look like

at my ideal weight.

I looked like I had just come out of a concentration camp.

According to the hight/weight tables, Tom Cruise, Russel Crowe, Sylvester

Stallone, and Arnold Schwartzenegger all are 'obese.'

Re:how much weight to lose

I found the " suggested " weights are often skewed by whatever fad is in

charge at the time. Back when it was supposedly better to be super thin, the

docs were quoting me a lot slimmer weight of 135. There is NO WAY I'm

comfortable at that weight with my frame. I'm roughly built like a

highschool quarterback with wide back and shoulders. When I was that light,

I felt weak and ill. So I basically blew off the doc's admonition that I

needed to be that weight and put back on 35 lbs. At 160, I felt MUCH better.

So, the real goal should be find a weight you feel really healthy at (as

opposed to one you're happy with) ;-).

I have gained weight the past couple of months because I haven't been

able to exercise much due to my injured leg. However, as soon as I can

I'm going to start riding my bicycle and rollerblading again.

Aaz is right. For me a good weight was between 175 and 200 despite me

being a short person at only 5'4 " . Docs are pushing me to hit 150...

Ain' no way. I would look and feel icky at that weight.

I am going to PT three times/week and am bugging the PT and PTA to let

me get out of the boot and onto the bike ASAP. But I won't until they

clear me.

Mine didn't rupture completely, but if I had kept walking on it, that might have

happened. At first I thought that I had sprained my ankle, and the doctor

treated it accordingly--but it wasn't getting any better. He sent me for an MRI

of the foot & ankle and discovered the tear.

Re: Re:how much weight to lose

I've never dealt with a complete ligament or tendon rupture yet.
