The authors report that the average person with a BMI 27 pretty much blows 5.8 hours of productive work a week. They found that it scales up proportionately. Interesting. Any chance of a more precise citation? Funny you should ask. I happened to have my files with me today, at home, and, sure enough: The Role of Health Risk Factors and Disease on Work Productivity (Burton, et al 1999) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Citation Cheers. I've had a quick scan, looks interesting. Will read it more carefully this afternoon. There's some slightly weird stuff - apparently people with diabetes are more likely to get STDs or something - but it seems broadly sound. tom -- skin thinking |

At what speed and did you add any elevation? 4.8 mph, 3-4% incline. I remember going up stairs with my brother-in-law, a construction worker. He was completely winded and I wasn't. But I was still fat. Now I'm fit...and I prefer it. I hate the idea of any study giving someone a reason to think it's okay to stay fat. |

Can someone remind me why these irrelevant posts must be crossposted to
several groups whose members don't give a damn about them? Bertha wrote: | | I have been lurking here for a long time and my story is typical. The | lives of fat acceptors are great. Can someone remind me why we need | a fat acceptance newsgroup? | | | Bertha |

et... Can someone remind me why these irrelevant posts must be crossposted to several groups whose members don't give a damn about them? It's because the ssf-a trolls are easily bored and dredge up old silly posts (this "Bertha" one must have been posted at least six times over the years) to crosspost them and hopefully relieve their chronic boredom.

Next time I'm on a 600km hilly bike ride, she can come along too - would be fun to watch. I think she might turn purple and explode! I know I'm a lot fitter than that lady, and *I* couldn't keep up with you! Need to up my fitness levels and shift another 3 lbs myself. It's hard when your in pain, I'm telling you! She moves with less ease than I did before I shed my 70lbs of excess weight, and I doubt she could keep up with me as I did 50 lengths of the pool in an hour, followed by a quick trip up my loft ladder for some fabric, and a 4 hour shopping trip round Bluewater. I also wonder if she'd manage to shift out and set up 8 cast iron sewing machines, or drop dead in the attempt... Wanders off to find hidey-holes for another 3 machines... -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |
