Be judicious in obtaining your balance or weight set point. Much of the information regarding weight is wrong. The better medical research (as well as anecdotal reporting of which I have personally witnessed) is that people carrying more weight have better long term health outcome, and particularly following a serious illness or injury. I am not arguing in favor of morbid obesity, just against the current "popular" understanding of what constitutes a healthy weight, much of which is based upon cultural assumptions rather than good science.
I am 5'11". I weighed 165 pounds in my first year at USC, but it was a scrawny 165 pounds. (How did I do that? I walked four miles to school every day for six weeks in 11th grade, and it took a couple of years of Mexican food and cheeseburgers to make me porky.) I think for my age (57) and my frame, 190 is an appropriate aspirational goal, but even 200 would be just fine. I still look a little chunky, which is why I am aiming at 190.

ReplyDeleteWish I could say that.
Yay! I may get to do that with my belt in the next couple of weeks. Fighting the middle-aged spread.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your goal weight, and how tall are you?
