seems like some gloating going on here :)
i didnt see the OZB weight-loss special come thur yet… :>
In the asian culture, it is much more attractive to be seen as skinny. Having bulk is considered un-attractive ie: going to gyms is a waste.

There's more than one…

It is??? O_O
I'm asian and i'm pretty jacked up at. This isn't good for me then…?
You keep telling yourself that.
166cm, just under 49kgs. (Female). My heaviest ever was 59.2kgs. (Excluding pregnancy where at 9 months pregnant I was 67kgs)
OP. Great job. How did you do it? Found it easy to lose then go yo-yo.
Suggestion: start a poll and ask for bmi instead along with a site or formula to calculate it.
Doesn't take into account body composition though..
Better than just weight, don't you agree?
BMI factors in two variables: weight and height, which is exactly the information being asked for.
If you wanted another variable to more accurately gauge fitness then body fat % would be the one most useful here.
how did you lost 26kg in 4 months? Gym+diet?
Yeah exactly, Im going to gym 4days per week, usually about 2hrs every week day. My main dishes are fruits and veggies its all under control by my dietitian.
A serious question, do you believe this is sustainable? What stage are you at in life that you have time to go to the gym for 8 hrs a week? And will you be under the care of the dietician until the end of time?
I am just shy of 2m, weigh just over 100kg. I hate the gym, don't want to subject my nostrils to the BO of others, i do that enough in the train. I exercise semi regularly (though with 2 small kids it's not always an option). Even if i killed off my sense of smell i don't think i would have time to go to the gym that often.
The average working person works 9-5, Monday to Friday, right? So an hour before and after work? Two hours after work? Though it's pretty clear that you really don't want to go to the gym:

@johnno07:
Wrong, avg person works way more than that nowadays.
I leave for work before 7am, come home around 6pm. I have 2 young children that we have a routine with, meaning that dinner, bath time, bed time, etc. I don't sit down before about 8:30pm. Then there's the housework.
Leaves the weekend, which is taken up mostly by the usual chores and spending time with my kids,I do manage to get a few km worth of running in… But that's about it.
well im playing a sport at gym, the only sustainable way is to go to a sport that you love! it can be soccer, basketball, badminton, tennis or something else. as long as you love it you will keep up with it!
@johnno07: Bit of an oversimplification there.
I don't know a single person in my office of 60-something that is not up by 6AM, leaving the house by 7AM and spending the rest of the time commuting. And I'm in an inner-city location with good public transport access by both rail and bus. If you live in the outer suburbs of any metro area, I think it's safe to say you're going to be spending at least an hour, if not an hour and a half, just commuting. Especially if you want to leave room for sh*t happens, traffic and other mishaps that won't interfere with your morning meetings and other unmissable events.
Those that cycle are usually up at some ungodly hour, like 4:30AM, just to make it on time and to factor in showering, changing, etc.
You throw in a full day at the office, juggling time with kids and running errands (if need be) and you can say goodbye to coming into the gym well-rested and highly motivated at 6-7PM, able to really hit your VO2 max and get that optimal muscle building going.
I'd wager the majority that claim they do a 5-day a week workout schedule probably do sloth-pace on a elliptical or treadmill for 30 minutes and spend another 30 on some pathetic machine exercises. That's not going to drastically do anything for your fitness, much less trying to lose weight.
To top it off, unless you're next door to the gym, or you're dropping by straight after work (which necessitates more micro-management of your life that you need like a hole in the head), you need to commute there and back and by the time you've had dinner, showered, gotten everything out of the way and are ready for tomorrow; the day is over. There is no time to maintain a regular, consistent gym schedule.
Something is bound to trip up your precious time management and make you miss workouts or just not have the time (whether they're pre or post work); a slept in day here, overtime, sick days, family emergencies, etc…
All of that will just keep resetting your metabolic state and putting you closer back to square one.
I've never known anyone (young or old, former athlete with freakish genetics or not) to hold down a full-time job and maintain a full-on, 5 day-a-week training schedule.
People talk about this like it's turning on a switch, but realistically the motivation and enthusiasm evaporates in most people within a few weeks.
Most people I know with gym memberships are highly seasonal about their fitness (e.g. pre-summer workout binge followed by a post-summer slacker binge).
I'm currently 20 and studying, I actually go to the gym 6 - 7 days a week, 2 - 3 hours a day. I hope this doesn't end when I get a full time job, hah. I'll work my way around it, I'm currently working casually.
@SuperSemen: Sorry mate, uni is nothing on a full time job. Even so, it's possible until… You have a partner or kids. Then forget it.
uni is nothing on a full time job.
I trained for 2–3 hours, 3–4 days per week while undertaking 2 (intensive/non-arts )bachelor's degrees simultaneously and working on Saturday or Sunday.
It helped that I used my own free weights and equipment at home and so could train until 1 AM if I needed.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
until… You have a partner or kids.
You say that like it's inevitable. ¬_¬
I had plenty of free time at uni while doing 2 degrees. It's really nothing.
Yep, young kids and partner will suck up your time ;-)
@Martijn: YAS - leaves house 7:30am - returns 6:30pm; eat, defecate, shower, sleep, rinse repeat. No squeezing in a quick 4 hour workout at the gym for me!
No-one's suggesting a 4 hour workout.
Also, you poop after dinner? Weird! Although I guess that makes sense for a before bed showerer. :P
Prediction, next front page thread by ASIO: How Often Do You Poop OzBargain?
@Scrooge McDuck: Ah, my mistake; no squeezing in a 2 hour work out at the gym 4 times a week for me!
Also, yeah, I do everything in exactly that order, everyday O_O
@Amar89: Truth in what you say, but I have friends who have gone to gym every morning for their whole adult lives. It can be a happy, wellness thing that makes your whole life better.
Losing 26kg in 4 months is not healthy at all.
0.5 to 1 kg per week is a healthy rate for weight loss.
it seems a bit on the high side for someone not terribly overweight. i'm guessing a chunk of it would have been lean muscle mass.
172cm. Currently 70Kg.
At 190cm, 73 does indeed seem very skinny. You sure you're at ideal there?
I exercise between 60 and 80 minutes every week day morning and pay mind of what I eat. 73Kg just seems a little extreme at that height? Would suggest you try bulding a little muscle at least?
I dont look skinny and my BMI is 20 which is ideal. its all controlled by a dietitian.
i'm 192 cm and weigh about 85, and i would say i look skinny. being 190 and 73 would be very skinny imo.
175 cm and 73kg
183cm and 83kg.
swim 20 laps 2 - 3 times a week
178cm and 72kg - I thought I was skinny
Hello ASIO
OP, are you male or female?
Im a male
At 190cm, he'd be Brienne of Tarth.

She
Ahahahahaha this comment is fkn win! Literally lol'd infront of roll'd and grill'd.
Just a tad over 3.5 cubits and 7000 shekels or 2 1/3 talents, on the old scale. I keep fit by running 80 furlongs several times a week.
Haha i actually made it up but fairly close… Im probably closer to 4 cubits/2.5 talents though and only manage to do 60 furlongs
Laughed after i read your username.
What on earth is a "week"?
1/26th of a yonk
193cm and 115kg. BMI is a joke, no one ever calls me over weight, yeah I'm not skinny but BMI doesn't take into account muscle mass
BMI is great when used for what it was intended for, which is looking at a large sample of people and not individuals.
It is better for populations but for individuals BMI is generally considered to be a useful indicator. The error with individuals is that it tends to skew toward being too lenient on the person - people within normal BMI ranges often have too much body fat, rarely "too much" muscle.
At 193cm and 115kg and his implication that he's that big because of muscle mass he'd have to look something like UFC Champ Fabricio Werdum (, on the right) or ex-champ Cain Velasquez (, , getting his face punched in): http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bMm0mX47UGw/hqdefault.jpg
Keep in mind - those guys aren't cut. They carry a fair amount of body fat. They're not built like Dos Santos (, ) or Duffee (, ).
Either cypher67 works out a lot, and I mean 10+ hours a week of heavy weight lifting for the last 5+ years, or he's fat. Not massively fat, but fat.
I have no idea why but their heights and weights keep getting editted out. It's weird. But they're all about the same height and weight as cypher.
BMI is just a really simple tool everyone can use. Most people know their height and have easy access to scales. It is just an indicator that something may be wrong and has to be followed up.
Also "no one ever calls me over weight" would be a much worse indicator than BMI.
Saying BMI is a joke is like saying checking skin moles is a joke because it is very unreliable compared to biopsy.
196cm 103KG
Ideally I should be closer to 85KG, I've just really picked up marathon training for the year so it'll drop pretty quickly again.I tend to gain about 20-30KG over summer.
If you did your research you could profile a lot of OZBargainers! Suburb/State, Showering times, height, weight, best company perk, favourite sport to watch, how often you exercise, car you drive, Coco Pops or Fruit Loops and that's only this year. I think Scottie is going about his targeted marketing ploy for ads a little too individually, should just get Google to do it. Much easier.
As for my weight/height. About 10 years ago I went to the Royal Adelaide Show and there was a sideshow guy saying that if he could guess your weight within 15kg you'd lose your $5. If he couldn't guess your weight within 15kg, you'd get a toy. He wasn't doing a roaring trade so we decided to go pay him a visit. I stepped up, paid my $5 and he thought for awhile. He guessed my weight at 85kg which would be a good guess considering my height of 187cm. I stepped on the scales and he then said he's never been so wrong in all his time of doing this. He was off by 25kg…..and asked where i was hiding it. I grabbed my toy then walked off, feeling ok about myself :).

Not sure if 'toy' is a euphemism there, cos if it is… wow lol
;)
You do realise the sideshows are little tricks? the "prize" is valued significantly less than what you paid, so he profits when he gets it wrong.
I sure do but I like winning so it was worth it. My friends actually egged me on to do it as they knew how heavy I weighed and that I didn't look anywhere near like that weight at the time.
25kg off as in, you weigh 60kg or 110kg?
At that time I weighed 110kg.
Male, 160cm short, and 66kg.
On the bright side; you should live longer, be less likely to develop cancer, fit into more discounted clothing items and consume less than your taller peers. :)
As a bargainer, the kids' section really does help
and fit into an economy class plane seat without experiencing severe discomfort
same
66kgs!!??!! Do you need to tie yourself down in light-medium winds?
178 cm and 76 kg. Go to gym about 5 times a week for 40 minutes each day. Mostly do weights with a bit of cross trainer at start
How Much Do You Weigh OzBargainers ?
This OzBargainer weighs himself twice daily on average and another OzBargainer about once a month.
181 cm and 96kg. Drink beer and play Video games all night long.
Modern day adonis.
Then how do i rate at 183cms and 110kgs doing exactly the same stuff ;)
185cm 72kg
4.2" and 78kg, +/- 10kg depending what I ate
4.2" and 78kg
Apparently this is you: http://s3cf.recapguide.com/img/tv/114/3x21/Family-Guy-Season…Also, +- 10kg? What do you eat??
175cm - 96kg. But I dead lift 160kg Bench 100kg and Squat 120kg.. Although still pretty weak for my weight :(
"A man should, at least, be able to lift, squat and bench his own weight." - Marco Spanehl.
IMO
1x body weight means you're a man
2x body weight means you're strong
3x body weight means you're an athlete.Who can bench 3 x bodyweight? ¬_¬
It's rare but there are people who could do it. I've seen article on the internet about a 60-kg powerlifter trying to bench close to 200kg. I'd imagine this person would have strong shoulder (deltoid) and leg (quads) muscles like tree trunks.
lol - I'm guessing my quote of the day is offensive to someone hence the down vote? hahaha
It is not offensive. It is just wrong.
This isn't really correct, as the exercises are completely different and have different ratios. You can't really just say 1x body weight for deadlifts, squats and benching as it doesn't make sense.
It's usually 1:1 for bench, 1.5:1 for squat, and 2:1 for deadlifts.
For example, I bench 87.5kg, squat 105kg, and deadlift 170kg @ 80kg. If you can bench 2x your weight then shit, you're probably an athlete of some sort, as I've already been training for a few years to get to my stats. On the other hand, if you deadlift 2x your weight, then you're probably fairly strong, but also it's fairly typical.
Who do I call to change my gender?
It's cheaper and more practical to join a gym and train yourself in the art of weightlifting, rather than changing your gender.
Is this a comment on female bodybuilding?
164cm 54kg
173cm | 80kg | 13% BF
Hitting the gym 5 days a week.175 CM Tall Male
78Kg 2013 to Feb 2015
67Kg Apr 2015
68Kg as today (between 67-69 during the week)I went on the HCG diet for 24 days. After 24 days I started introducing more food on top of the HCG for the next month then slowly normalised back into a normal diet and kept small proportions.
Eating at the right times and eating the correct foods at the right time.
Biggest change is that now I can go for jogs for up to 40 minutes and don't feel hungry any more
When I was 78Kg it was so hard to go for jogs for more than 8 minutes, My feet would hurt.
175 CM Tall Male
Still a male with all those pregnancy hormones you've been injecting?
I used drops
Oh well that's totally healthy then.
189cm 79kg
I was 189cm and 70kg for a long time and it's too skinny for that height. My ass used to hurt. I could never get comfortable. I was too boney. I was like 90% bone.
I've been eating way more and going to the gym and I'm a much healthier weight now (at least i feel healthier).
My ass used to hurt. I could never get comfortable. I was too boney. I was like 90% bone.
