Let's lose a tractor!

[Iplayfarmer]

As far a losing a tractor here, are we talking a Cub Cadet or a Fendt?

I figured that a smaller SCUT is about 1500 pounds. We could start there, and if we get enough participation, the contest may be to see how big of a tractor we can lose.

I'll stay silent for the duration of this thread. I'm actually trying to put weight on, but not fat.

We can still count your progress. If your goal is to put on healthy weight, we'll just add your pounds gained the same as we would everyone else's pounds lost.

For reference, I'm including a link to a goverment web site that includes a Body Mass Index calculator and some guidelines. This may help in setting goals.

Body Mass Index Chart

I forgot to weigh myself last night at home, but I'm around 190. I'm not particularly muscular, so my target should be more to the center of the 19 to 25 target BMI range. 170 would put me at 23 for BMI. That means I've got about 20 pounds to lose. I'm hoping to lose it by my Anniversary in August.

OK, I'll get in, had right rotator cuff and AC joint repair around Thanksgiving and the immobility along with the Holidays has really packed on the pounds. I'll let you know how bad it is 1-1-09.

Okay, I am in. Been off the last 3 weeks after wife gave birth and noticed the other day I was up to 206. I usually hang around 195, but sure would like to get to 185.

I know I'm overweight; no argument there, but I wonder about the BMI and other such charts. They never seem to take into account the different body types we all have. If you're 5'9" and a man, this is how much you should weigh. No questions asked. I have always been muscular and have always been over the chart weight, even when I had an obvious six pack and could do sixty push ups I weighed in over 180 lbs. At any rate, I'm going to shoot for 185. I feel good at that weight even without the six pack.

I remember a while back some talk of a weigh in method that measured a person's weight while immersed in water. That seems like a dependable method for true measurement of fat. I think I'll stick to the bathroom scale though.

I need to gain a tractor... I'm a light weight wemp! Like soundguy, I weight 150 pounds soaking wet and at 68" high... I can hide in a spider hole!

I'll join in but not until January 17. That's when we get back from our Caribbean cruise. The only reason I'm going on the cruise is to catch up on some much needed rest and eat and drink all day long as much as I want of anything I want at no extra charge. I guess I will gain 10 pounds on this trip to add to the 5 I need to lose now so I'll start my New Years resolution when I get back.

Be sure to let us know when you get back. I'm sure we'll still have a long way to go.
