How tall are you?

That's the whole thing. They go by the BMI number. I was like yeah, I'm still eating tacos after work tonight. Screw your number.

Congrats on the weight loss, @yeppers

Thanks!

Is this some blanket thing they just apply to all of us as if we're machines?

Because even as a young, fit 20 year old doing army PT every morning they'd still take some weird measurements and work them through some convoluted formula to see if I was in spec or not. Could easily pass all the tests but my athletic weight was still like 220.

Some of us be dense.

200+ to 167 ain't nothing to scoff at and totally is a fit body. Good work, man.

Is here an alternative your doctor could recommend in place of TUMS? Don’t those things have aluminum in them in trace amounts, and if you eat too many, it’s like eating an empty Coke can?

The cyst you’re growing will have strong bones and be born with a full set of teeth though. I can’t wait to hear about yer sore boobs when that happens. Like two gigantic chewed up casaba melons.

But wait, how tall are you?

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

But wait, how tall are you?

By the BMI, under 5'9"

TIL @yeppers, @nukes, and @Maureen are the same height.

I’d watch that vertically challenged three way.

All oiled up like baby snakes

Supposedly just under 5'9" which is weird too. Last year I was 5'10". I guess I'm shrinking?

You're almost Geezer enough. that's going to start to happen. I'm down between half an inch and an inch from where I was at my final tallest height at 13 years old. I measured out for most of my life at 5 ft 7 in. Not any more!

 

[nukes]

The spine compresses itself and a lot of those vertebrae lose water and oil and cartilage which accounts for much of the shrinkage.

I thought your weight sounded good for a person your height, especially since you've been working out and running so I know 20 lb. of it ain't jello.

Hmmm I guess @Maureen and I do look about the same height.

I’ve lost no weight since joining a gym.

But now my pants are lose around the waist.

I’m nearly at needing suspenders.
