Re: You've got a wife? That's nice.
Actually, now I am four to five kilos overweight. I can't understand it, cause I have been walking so much everywhere. Anyway, I've stayed the same weight for the last 12 months, at leasst not putting it on. Guess the beer and expensive restauraunts don't help!
You should nip that in the bud- the problem is, the older we get the slower our metabolism. Walking burns very few extra calories, you need to power-walk at least. Smoking is good for losing weight because it speeds up your metabolism and is not so bad for you as central obesity(over 37 inches above the naval measurement-waist not belt measurement) All due respect to Foxy Poster, but I'll wager he's built like a pipe cleaner, knowing what faith he puts in a fag or three.
Lene Justesen - obesity
You are apple-shaped if fat is on the stomach.
Obesity is more than just a few extra pounds.
Obesity is the heavy accumulation of fat in your body to such a degree that it rapidly increases your risk of diseases that can damage your health and knock years off your life, such as heart disease and diabetes.
The fat may be equally distributed around the body or concentrated on the stomach or midrift (apple-shaped) or the hips and thighs (pear-shaped).
For medical purposes, the body mass index (BMI) is used to determine if your weight is in the healthy range.
Doctors use BMI because it compares your weight against your height.
However, it's now recognised that central obesity (ie apple shaped obesity) is especially harmful to health. So, it's also recommended that abdominal waist measurements are done to assess overweight.
