LARD

[denny]

Last week I decided to weigh myself while I was bored in the queue at Boots. The machine told me my height, weight, BMI and body fat percentage. It was all a bit grim really. Apparently I've shrunk, got heavier, and I'm made of 30% lard. I wish I'd never bothered :)

Also, in entirely unrelated news; I want a cheeseburger.

Don't forget that muscle is denser than fat, so if you've been going to the gym a lot that'd account for some of it. :) Also, body fat measurements are notoriously inaccurate. Don't stress it, basically.

Also, 30% is about normal. :)

30% is normal for ladies, but last time I looked dennyd wasn't one of those :-) See eg scale here (http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/body_weight/body_fat/percentage.htm), although I'd take both that scale (which was just the first hit out of Google) and the results of the machine in Boots with a pinch of salt, or other more healthy stuff of your choice. The gym should be able to do a more precise measurement?

I am rather amused to see "2 pies or When come back, bring pie." at the bottom of your post.

Those scales at Boots are notoriously inaccurate, especially on the BMI. Also, I assume you were wearing clothing, which probably makes a considerable difference... though I wouldn't recommend stripping off in Boots (not that I would object to the sight, but it might get you in trouble). :)

trust me, you're not 30% those scales are crap. he you want your body fat get you're gp to do it with calipers next time you see them. i'm about 13% or so. doubt you're more than 20.

you don't look like 30% lard in the pic ...

it's a never ending battle trying to stay in shape. giving up the fight early does have it's advantages; in that you get more time to eat pies ;-)
