Stepped on the scales this morning.. In full site clobber (Steel Caps, drill pants and shirt). 93.1kg.. Happy with that.. I usually weigh in the raw.. But I forgot this time..

Revising my goals.. I keep telling myself I'll be happy with 90kg.. But I think now I need to revisit that and shoot for 85kg

You tall pricks and your extra kgs :( Apparently my healthy weight range for my height is 62-77kgs...62kgs is ridiculous! I was pretty lean in high school and was 68kgs when I finished. Lowest I got in uni was 74.5kgs and people were telling me I looked too skinny. I dunno, I was pretty happy with how I looked at that weight, so that's what I'm aiming for.

I was 72 when I finished highschool.. 77 as I matured.. jumped to 85 pretty quick starting a desk job.. But 85 Was comfortable..

If I get to 85 And swap a bit of fat for muscle at that weight.. I will be BMI of 23.. Currently it is about 24..

BMI isn't everything I know.. but I like it as a guide..

Here's a "when I was doing :blaah: story.

But when I was seeing a personal trainer before my wedding a couple of years ago we didn't really use the total weight as a gauge for my goals. We focused on Body Fat percentage. This worked really well for me since I am tall and fairly solid set I would look gaunt under 100kg.

Example: When I started I was 128kg with 34% body fat. After a couple of months I got down to 114-115kg with 28.5% body fat. Another month on and I was 117kg with 26% body fat. I was still a ways off being fully ripped and shredded bro but my overalls physical condition was improving and I was waayyyyyyy fitter than I ever have been.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is, don't get fixed on a KG figure - especially guys - because with weight training you can still reduce fat and build mass at the same time.

Well aware of that mate.. Hence saying 'It's a guide'.

But I am using weight and feeling of fitness as targets..

The weight target is largely because when I was 85kg I was reasonably fit (according to Body Fat scales I was around 11%). But at that weight and fitness level I didn't snore.. When I wasn't snoring I felt sh*tloads better..

Not pointing that comment directly at you bud, I think you must have replied while I was halfway through typing, answering phones and serving people at the counter!

I totally agree with the snoring thing though - my wife lets me know daily that I sound like a freight train!
