Just for consistency's sake, you understand Wink

Mitchy1nge · 11/11/2014 22:53

well you don't LOOK fat

OP posts:
EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 22:53

Need 11 stone 1 or under to be healthy weight range, but ideally aiming for 9 stone 7.

EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 22:54

Thankyou.

Mitchy1nge · 11/11/2014 23:00

maybe you have a lot of muscle, have they got one of those tanita things at your gym?

want but suspect is about £million

don't know how accurate it is but gives lots of interesting info like metabolic age and so on

Nah it's the boobs throwing off the proportions, I think - they make everything else look smaller in comparison. They're a bugger to run with, though - I'm wearing a Panache Sport in a 34H and suspect I should be in a 32, but have been waiting to lose some weight off my boobs as the equivalent cup size in a 32 would be an i-cup and they don't go up that far Hmm

But yes I have a muscly build.

EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:08

Don't know what a Tanita thing is - does it measure body fat percentage?

Ah, I see it does.

My main problem is that my skin belongs to an eighteen stone woman Grin

EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:10

Don't know why the envy face. I hate my boobs. They've deflated so much I have to fold them into my bras Grin

EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:12

I wonder what metabolic age is. Suspect mine is high.

Mitchy1nge · 11/11/2014 23:13

those professional/medical offer a lot more detail and info than the normal body composition scales

it was really interesting

will repeat it all in a few months and hopefully body fat will still be low but lean mass increased a bit

was most relieved about visceral fat (think scored 4/25, something like that) but have had severe anxiety about invisible hidden fat - maybe that score isn't great and could be lower but pt said was not something to worry about

how can it possibly know?

OP posts:
EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:14

I think it measures how well you conduct electricity Hmm

EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:16

I've never measured my body fat percentage. It sounds quite interesting but another thing to worry about.

EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:18

Maybe I shall break into my local David Lloyd and leap on their body composition analyser before I am bundled out struggling and yelling by security personnel.

EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:19

Boobs are pretty much entirely fat Sad

Mitchy1nge · 11/11/2014 23:24

it was similar to results with the calipers, they will have those at your gym, but although none of these things are accurate you can monitor a trend

you might be pleasantly surprised by how much of you is lean

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 11/11/2014 23:26

it was a bit complicated to operate, bits of it came out and pt had a separate thing to do stuff with

and it had to go on athlete mode which made me smile allllll day

OP posts:
EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:30

I suspect I'm mostly skin Grin It hangs off me in drapes Hmm

The calipers scare the fuck out of me. We used to attack each other with them use those in school science lessons during the shame the fat kid "everybody measure yourselves and draw graphs of the whole class" lessons.

Mitchy1nge · 11/11/2014 23:30

I am actually DEAD or falling asleep

have sweet dreams

OP posts:
EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:30

Ooo, athlete mode Grin Nice one!

EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:31

Sleeeeeeep, dear Mitchy, sleeeep.

Have enjoyed chatting shit again Smile

EnpoTree · 11/11/2014 23:43
