Vital statistics

[Stephenite]

I thought i'd put this in the cafe as it's not to be taken seriously.

After reading in a (ahem) pregnancy forum where some of the ladies are measuring their expanding midriff i thought i'd take some measurements of my own. (But i'm not allowed to say - oh alright, she's 118cm!! )

Hopefully, measuring now just after christmas supposedly leaves room for improvement later in the year as we become more active .

My post-xmas stats are:

Midriff - 99cm or 40"

BMI - 24.6 bmi calculator

Anyone else?

- maybe we can turn this into a competition.

I'll post a block of norwegian brown cheese to the one who loses most around the middle. And to the one who gains most, or loses least, some healthy norwegian tørrfisk!

I went on a set of digital scales in Boots on Saturday.
My midriff is 35 inches
BMi is 29.5. I am a diet at the moment and off the ale untill at least the end of march.

 

[tyred]

midriff is 37 1/2", up from 35 last summer

I can't calculate my BMI as I no longer weigh myself. The level of pain experienced while getting into a pair of trousers tells me whether I've lost or gained weight.

 

[gbb]

Midriff 32/33 inches
BMI 21.1

Can't work that out...midriff. I usually float between a 32 and a 30 inch waist (clothing size)...i dont usually measure myself, just pick one of each (30/32) and see which fits best. So i dont know if my waist/midriff has expanded somewhat.

16st all due to overeating and boozing this festive season .No exercise at all .Easily 40" waist line .But just by chance i got a letter from the Doc's last week .They want to see me on Thursday for the Well man check up .Going to fail .So diet here i come .But i do this fatty thing every year .Weight falls away as soon as the riding gets going .It's just getting going in this crap weather which is the problem .

I'm trying to gain weight- maybe I can win the "tørrfisk" whatever that is?

 

[Stephenite]

I measured midriff and not waist as that is likely to show more change. I took midriff to mean (rightly or wrongly) the area between chest and waist.

Personally i measured around from my navel, as my gut at 40" overhangs the 34" waistband of my trousers.

Tørrfisk - gutted fish, usually cod, dried in the open under the midnight sun.

It's the brown cheese that worries me.
