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!

For blog. 40% body fat, BMI 25.5. Time to get serious, or suffer when the racing starts! Oops!

    Boab: No way that's 40% BF. think you need to be remeasured properly

    DrBob: the scales do a calibration based on the age you put in as well. The BMI is right, anyway.

    KinkyS: That is nothing like 40%.

    clairevmc: I would agree that's never 40% - look at the definition on your arms.

    halfpint: Unless you are carrying all the fat below you waist I think your scales are wrong :)

    Lisa T: Totally agree with all the others. Have you got mahoosive ankles? ;-) The BMI would also indicate that you're overweight & you really don't look it from the picture at all.

    DrBob: No disputing the BMI, sadly. The BF number is silly, I agree, but I'm sure I could cut a bit of lard - just not sure how!

    Cuddy: 40% my arse. 18% :-)

    DrBob: Thanks Craig :-)

    tom_craggs: Time to get some new scales...or calipers. I would guess, and I test BF with athletes regularly that you are 13-14% max!

    tom_craggs: BMI is irrelevant with what appears to be a pretty high % muscle mass. Likely to give you odd results, very crude measure.

    DrBob: thanks Tom :-) I will see if I can get a BF measurement done with calipers, it'll give a good idea of how much weight I can usefully lose in order to cycle faster.
