There seems to be as many opinions and misinformation floating around about personal weight that I thought we might share and perhaps open our minds a bit. Here are the questions that I feel will provide useful info:
Age
Sex
Height
Present weight range (many people vary 3-4 lbs over a day)
Ideal weight range for optimum health (your opinion)
Ideal weight range for optimum swimming performance
What steps are you taking, or will you be taking, to lose or
gain the weight difference between present & optimum.
I'll start
54
M
6'1"
220-224
190-194
182-188
Drastically cut down drinking & desserts; resume active training
This is very interesting.
58 (almost)
M
6'2"
200
190
175-80
My goal for 2006 is to get down to 190, starting the year at 205. I'm stalled out at 200, achieved mostly by adding about 1500 extra yards per week.
My plan until the end of the year is to eat only one helping at meals and eliminate snacks between work and dinner (3:30-7 pm).
