To me, your weight is not much for a guy. Keep going and let me know how you propose to maintain your weight once you have reached your desired weight. Thank you.
Hi
@Keesha! I do have a slight build. At 18 I only weighed 84lbs - my friends at school used to say I could be a model for Oxfam! I only got overweight after I retired and wasn't active (I used to walk 3 miles to work every day) and was eating more as I had time on my hands. I was also going to the pub most nights for a pub meal, almost always with chips, and 3-4 pints of beer.
I was actually glad to be putting on weight as I thought I was too thin. Yes I've heard that saying 'you can't be too rich or too thin'!
But the weight was only going on round my middle which must have also increased the visceral fat around my liver and pancreas.
If it had been more on my arms and legs it might have been better.
I'm not too concerned about my weight now, as it is under 140lbs, which is the psychological mark I have aimed for. But I do want to improve my height/waist measurement ratio. The recommended ratio is that your waist measurement (at navel level) is no more than half your height.
My height is 67" and my waist measurement is 34", so I still need to lose half an inch.
If I do get there I will stabilise by eating two meals a day. At the moment I am only eating once in the evening. I didn't usually have breakfast anyway, just eating something like a bacon or fried egg sandwich around midday. I'm not actually missing eating that now and have got used to fasting again.
