weekly weigh in

So I’ve decided to do a weekly weigh in seeing how this is a fitness blog.  Here is what I thought I would do.  I would weigh myself at the same time everyday for the next couple of weeks.  I have no particular goals in mind but it would be nice to see some weight loss. 
Being fit doesn’t mean being skinny.  A lot of people like to use the quick and easy BMI (body mass index) testing.  This test takes your height weight and age and calculates your BMI.  Then there is a scale that says if you’re fit, overweight, and obese.  But is a 6'2", 275 lb football player obese? I think not.



Anyway, week 1 weigh-in is at 191.2 lbs.
Week 2: 190.7

  1. I agree with you post that atheletes are considered "obese" just because they have lean muscle mass. This must be one of the flaws of the BMI. Overall the article was good and well informed. BMI was accurately defined. I like the idea of weighing every week to see if it affects you.
