Come on oldman. It's not that late yet.

11 x 2 = 22
22 / 6 = 3,666...

This makes more than 3 1/2 sixpacks!!!

My Mass 120kg height is 2m

BMI = 30

I still feel fat

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Alfred, you are truly gonna look anorexic when you loose weight at that height.

Here's a link to a site that will calculate your BMI in seconds: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm

I'm one of the fortunate ones who can eat almost anything (BMI = 20.7). My weight goes up by a kilo or two and then drops by the same, so basically I am very lucky. But then again, I do exercise a lot. can't sit still. I don't look like a top model, but I happy with my body.

I agree with Darlene that it's just too easy to blame pregnancy for excess weight. Yes, not all women go back to their pre-baby bodies, but many women use this as an excuse not to make that extra effort to get back to a normal weight (and I'm not speaking of the new Hollywood trend of fish fingers ... even Angelina Jolie has lost her beauty ... just skin and bones now ...). People also tend not to make any effort once they're settled with a partner. It's almost like once you've found someone you don't need to look good anymore. Hey, your partner (and I'm referring to both men and women here) needs to desire you everyday, not only during the flirting period. And lets be honest, we all know that we feel so much better when we shed a few kilos.

@ Dalene and Patricia.  I agree whole-heartedly with you .... Don't blame the baby.  Yes, of course the mother's body will change due to normal physiological processes that take place during pregnancy - it's NORMAL.  But.... the human body has the ability to "heal" itself, and there's no reason why the mother couldn't get back to her normal weight with a little exercise/activity and minor diet changes.

After all - like my favorite lecturer at UWC (Dr Connie Meyer) told us time and time again -....pregnancy, like menopause and old age, are all normal physiological processes - NOT DISEASES!

@ Alfred - yes, it's just a guide, and I believe one should rather be at the top end of the range than the lower end.  Your body might just need that little bit of extra resources.  Genetically our make-up is different, and no scale will be 100% accurate, therefor no-one should be judged by any formula (we're always looking to be perfect - but by whose standards?)

As an example - I have a friend who had a congenital heart problem.  He is 2,1m tall, and only weighed 73 kg!  Wow, did he look sick!  Now, after a heart valve replacement (6 years ago), he weighs 120kg and haven't looked and felt healthier ever.  Sometimes a few extra kilo's is what the body needs.

@ Diana - I saw you - you're NOT plump.

I always reckon that one should not consentrate what the scale says.  You are either fat or thin when being viewed.  I would rather be a few kilo's heavier and healthy than be skinny and sickly.  I saw a program on TV the other night and saw what it takes some of our movie stars to remain as skinny as they are.  Eat ±1000 Kcal a day and work off a minimum of 600 Kcal a day.  Body ends up going into Ketosis and ends up eating its own muscle.  For example, Posh Spice looks like a walking skeleton.  YUCK!  Think I would rather walk around with extra weight than living my life a mysery having to turn everything around 10 times before puting it into my mouth!

I believe EVERYTHING IN MODERATION!

having to turn everything around 10 times before puting it into my mouth!

  Eina! That could be painfull to some.  Being the sick puppy that I am, I dont think I'll elaborate... 202

"Being the sick puppy that I am" Think you need to be kept on a leash...
