Scale this morning says 176.5
I guess I am a puke green

 

[Paul H]

Anyone want a bathroom pedestal sink?
If you can move it out... it's yours. Of course I'll help but just know... I'm a wimp.

I am still on the red next to yellow on the Kate Moss chart...

Umm... I have a furniture dolly?
But I also live on the 2nd floor

Who made that chart? Kate Moss? 5' 10" 180 is over weight?...There are an awful lot of professional athletes who are overweight then ! I dont think they are taking muscle mass into account here.

Those charts are so terrible unless you are skin and bones average build you will never fall into the right category. Even when I was lean I didn’t come close to falling into a healthy weight zone according to this chart. The visual eye test is usually best way to go

have you tried, I have
decent on packed snow, mediocre on hard pack
useless on ice and fresh snow
a mess on mixed conditions with rocks, glad I got the Nokians a few weeks ago. Monday I ride outside

When I use to work in a restaurant some of the guys would still bike when it snowed they'd just have standard tires that came with their Walmart bike even if the tires were bald they just used zipties on their bikes idk how good their rides we're but they made it to work

When I get into 190s I have abs dropping 20 more lbs would make me look very sick

I'm not as tall as you, with a bad week of eating and exercise I fall into the overweight zone. At 155, I'm safely in green with some room for bad weeks

According to that chart I'm obese

According to that chart I'm obese

Everyone holds their weight differently. You don’t look heavy. If I was your weight I’d look like a tomato

 

[Mtbdog]

I'll weigh in on this. X-mas was 178, BIYF contest has down to 159.2. almost fightin' weight another 3-4 and I'm good to go....fast!

 

[jklett]

According to the chart I'm obese, I agree with that. On the other hand, it says I should be 150 at the most to be "normal". I would look "abnormal" there, Kate Moss would be about right.

Are you guys into modeling or what? As soon as my blood pressure and sleep apnea are in check and my riding is really enjoyable I am just doing maintenance, yo!

ha, thats funny. The problem with those charts is that they dont take into account muscle mass (as mentioned above) or frame size, if you have broad shoulders and a big chest (rib cage) you WILL hold more weight without it showing or being a problem.

that chart puts me at the top of the 'healthy' range, and i currently weight 165 . . . doesnt quite add up. I go by body fat % and weight to decide what i need to loose. and my goal is a bit lofty for where im at but im going to give a try anyway.

wait, so you are comparing mountain biking to a commuter who washes dishes? Not knocking dishwashers or bus boys, that was me in high school.

Muscle mass? aren't we OOS?

does it come with the ass washing remote?

Haven't seen you in a while, are you snacking on pizza pies or something?
You never looked close to Red

Okay, I agree with everyone, the numbers are pretty absurd, maybe not in the EU, but here in the US for sure
Getting in the solid green, would be my college years at bout 150. Do most of you fall in the green range when you were in HS or college?

I was 158 when I was 30, but I've always been doing up and down...

 

[one piece crank]

My height is off that chart, and I weighed 210 in high school (+20 today).
