Dr. Phil is 6'4" and TWO-FORTY???? WAAAAAH!!! |
|
And *HE* wants to tell *ME* how to get the blubber off???
"Physcician, Heal Thyself."
Saw an article in today's paper about his latest endevour... OK, according to the same height-weight-BMI tables I'm working with, Ol' Phil is not only overweight, he's border-line Obese...And he wants to tell the REST of us how to take it off?
That's not setting well. This was a busy week, only got in 27 miles. Went 11 miles against a 12 MPH headwind yesterday that kicked my butt and left me drained. Too much to do today to ride,and i felt crappy from yesterday anyway.Won't get another chance until maybe Wednesday (if I'm so fuckin' busy, why ain't I hauling in 80 kilobux a year?) and I'm having doubts that losing 80 pounds in 80 weeks is realistic. Well, I DID turn around and got to boogie the 8 miles home in 33 minutes...Guess it wasn't a total loss...
Man, that's like finding out a "Smoking Cessation Counseler" chain smokes...

Height and weight don't matter. It is body fat and the health of your heart and longs.(of course by longs I mean lungs: )

10. You're exactly right! |

I was really making a joke to give thread originator a laugh; but, really, Dr. Phil, IMHO, is a flabby gasbag who really seems like he's quoting self-help books, so I was really off-point. There was thread originator's post vs. reality and I chose to only deal w/his post. Reality is the fact that height/weight don't matter in fitness and also, as subsequent opinions here, the fact that people all have different priorities. For instance, I prefer someone's heart to their outer facade any time! However, I also consider someone's insipid grandiosity and that's what drives me nuts about people like Dr. Phil - even that stupid name he goes by seems contrived or childish. "Dr. Phil"; tooey!

4. If your fit, don't obsess |
|
You are getting your heart and other muscles better able to handle the extra weight. It sounds like you have a lot of weight that you want to lose, but don't worry if you don't lose all of it if you are healthy and exercise every day.

But, I've had it all my life. I don't have any joint problems or anything yet escept for the occasional sore back. When that happens I just do some Yoga.
