Have you done anything yet? Have you tried yoga or walking or
weightlifting?
Have you tried reducing the amount of food you eat each day? I see
discussion of the concept, only. It is time for you to either use
somebody's
advice or find a path of your own. Or not.


Hey.. I did try spot skipping.. I have to get back to my routine.. I
have slowly quit my exercise.. I will need to be more punctual. .


True!


I will keep you all posted about my little experiences.. It did help..
I did complete 1 pushup today.


Good start. I am thinking of buying some weightlifting equipment. I used to
lift regularly, but I fell out of the habbit several years ago.


I do feel a 0.001% healthy today..

Is there a good external scale to measure health???


I think a really good scale for you, for monitoring your weight, would be a
pair of pants you were wearing before you got married. Put them on once a
month and see how they fit. That is probably the best scale of all!

How is your marriage going? Is it everything you hoped it would be?

I've been really tempted to buy a scale to monitor my weight loss progress,
but I haven't. Since I'm probably going to start lifting weights again, I
think a scale will have less meaning then ever. To me, its all about the
size of the clothes I wear, how well they fit, etc. I am really looking
forward to not having such a big gut anymore. I haven't seen St. Peter in
quite some time! Its going to take a long time, though, to lose this weight.
Conservatively, I have fifty or sixty pounds to go. I have lost about 35
pounds so far, though, and that's a good start. Lets see... July is just
about here. Aug, Sept, Oct... by the end of the year I should have made it a
long way towards my weight loss goal.

Do you mean a machine to give your weight? That's called
a scale.

Do you mean a chart that gives heart rates during certain
types of exercise to determine your cardio fitness? One
level of fitness is to walk briskly on the flat for an hour. If
you can do that and wonder why it counts as exercise it
will be time to move on to the next level. Maybe jogging
for 5K would be the next level.

One scale is BMI. Body Mass Index. It is supposed to
work well to determine obesity, underweight and so on.
In practice it works poorly but at least it is easy.

This one works for me always. I cut calorie intake and bingo, the fat
is gone.


Needles to say - you have to watch nutrition balance as well...

Ok.. I just kept wondering if there was actually some product devised
to measure health.. It does not seem impossible though....

Something that can meter

1. Breathing quality
2. Weight
3. Height
4. Strength

Just guessing


How is your marriage going? Is it everything you hoped it would be?


Hmm it is very much going fine.. n what about yours?

I've been really tempted to buy a scale to monitor my weight loss progress,
but I haven't.


You should really consider buying one .. it will surely help to
measure the weight everyday... You will be always alarmed..

Since I'm probably going to start lifting weights again, I
think a scale will have less meaning then ever. To me, its all about the
size of the clothes I wear, how well they fit, etc. I am really looking
forward to not having such a big gut anymore.


Gosh you have a list..

I haven't seen St. Peter in
quite some time! Its going to take a long time, though, to lose this weight.
Conservatively, I have fifty or sixty pounds to go. I have lost about 35
pounds so far,

That's a lot of weight lost.. hey I just wanted to know .. does that
ne way make you feel week or you are normal..

or you feel far better after loosing the weight?

though, and that's a good start. Lets see... July is just
about here. Aug, Sept, Oct... by the end of the year I should have made it a
long way towards my weight loss goal.


I wish you reach your goals set.

Ugh. I'm at the tail end of a divorce! Things don't always go the way you
hoped. May your marriage be blessed.

I bought one. I'm weighing myself every day and keeping a chart. Its been
less then a week, so I'm not too worried about the numbers on it. I seem to
be in the range of 256, so I'm down a little more then forty pounds.

That's a lot of weight lost.. hey I just wanted to know .. does that
ne way make you feel week or you are normal..

I feel much better. I feel better about myself and have a lot more energy.

though, and that's a good start. Lets see... July is just
about here. Aug, Sept, Oct... by the end of the year I should have made
it a
long way towards my weight loss goal.

Same to you!

Yes, I know about that.. I am just thinking of a device that can be
used to measure something more that just weight.. I saw a weight scale
that also measured my height and gave me BMI readings... I just
thought if there where better scales then this one..

I am sure there will be..

I'm really happy with my pressure sensor scale and
bioelectric impedance bodyfat monitor. Height is
basically a constant. You can have someone help
you measure height. Then you plug that into a
formula for BMI or enter it into a device that
calculates BMI, bodyfat percentage, body water,
etc. I was skeptical of the consistency of digital
scales with built-in bioelectric impedance bodyfat
testing. With enough research I discovered and
bought separate units with which I'm completely
satisfied. Their consistency is excellent.
The scale is a Conair model WW-39 (Weight Watchers
branded), and the bodyfat/BMI device is an Omron
HBF-306. I'm not concerned with absolute accuracy
so much as being able to determine the trend of
small changes. I'm trying to lose fat and gain
muscle at the same time. To do that I need devices
with fine resolution (the ability to gauge small
changes) and excellent consistency (immediately
repeated measurements return the same readings)
more than absolute accuracy so long as I continue
to use the same instruments.

For basic BMI and health a knowledge of your height,
a decent scale, and a tape measure are good enough.
Height and weight determine BMI, and a tape measure
can be used for waist/hip ratio and basic bodyfat
(aka body composition) testing. The book "Protein
Power" has what I think is an excellent chapter on
determining body composition using age and weight
and bodypart circumference measurements.

Don't confuse health and fitness.

It's possible to be healthy and unfit
or fit and unhealthy. Health in the
most basic sense is the absence of disease,
whereas fitness is performance oriented.

Treat the two (health and fitness) as
separate entities with separate gauging
criteria.


I surely understand that.. I was just wondering about a device being
able to measure both...

This will surely be a wish list for the scientists to come up with a
compact device... that's able to measure that.. I have been seeing in
the discovery channel various instruments that has plucked a human
with censors all over the body and the man is made to run over a
thread mill.. but this is some what an instrument that surely measures
health and fitness both at the same time. i am talking about..

but just wondering about a compact version of the same that could sell
in the market.
