Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Most of you wouldn't like to know what I'd like to weigh... I think I'm a little less than 8 stone. I'll find out tomorrow when I have my health check for work.

Weight is irrelevant....
BMI is a crude device that easily portrays a wrong message for an individual.
Percentage body fat, that's a different matter :-)

Don't worry, I spent years deceiving myself with other measures. :-)
Our capacity for finding the evidence to suit our beliefs is amazing :-P

P.S. Is it really likely to be that bad? Or is it just the idea of someone using a tape measure and skin calipers to take measurement while you stand around in your shorts :-P

Oooh. Bit jealous of that :-)
I've got access to calipers (and the training to use them) and have had reasonable results with Skulpt for purposes of being less intimidating.
But, I'd love to have a play with the big toys too :-)

When I lost weight for Southampton my clothes fit me differently and the scales confirmed I'd lost weight.

I think at a pure mechanical physics level losing weight has got to be a good thing (for racing)?

Carrying a stone, in weight, less for fifty miles has got to equate to a fair bit of energy no longer required?
