Re: Shape Up in 2011
I'm prepared to believe the weight loss, but they don't even look alike facially.........??

Re: Shape Up in 2011
Dean I could take offence at your remark but I wont, I can assure you that both photos are of me. First one is RAK New years Eve 2007. Other is Abras 10K Feb 2011 week before I ran Wadi Bih solo. I don't care about your views but your aspertions that i am a very far off tyhe mark.

Re: Shape Up in 2011
In the other photo, you look great and i can only imagine the pain you went through to get from one extreme to the other. Fantastic effort. I really am gobsmacked.
i may see you at some running/triathlon events after the summer. Look forward to having a chat and to shake your shrunk hand ;-)

You are right I am still overweight on the BMI scale and need to lose another 6 Kgs to become normal.
Thanks for the messages.

Don't worry too much about BMI - it has become completely discredited, ever since the likes of Shaquille O'Neal were revealed as "obese"........

BMI is not at all discredited, for 99% of people it's a pretty useful measurement. The only place it falls down is with people who are at a decent level of fitness with a good amount of muscle mass and frankly anyone at that level should be beyond worrying about bmi anyway

Height-to-weight ratio (which is similar but not identical) is often used.
