vikingTON Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Calculate your body mass index using these nifty websites: Adults Under 18s. Post if you wish. I couldn't care either way. The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have no idea what weight I am... That would be a slight snag... You could estimate, and run the risk of being labelled morbidally obese or deid.

Doc Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 BMI is a bad measure for health. To put it simply: John Candy and Arnold Schwarzenegger had the same BMI when one was guzzling hotdogs and the other steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loveless Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 19.6 riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Zhivago Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 19.6 6ft2.5" and 180lbs... gives me a BMI of 22.8. As stated, BMI isn't really a good measure of health. A colleague of mine, a rugby player and mountain bike fanatic, very heavily muscled and fit with it (ideal for the job he was applying for!), had his application for the police knocked back because his BMI was too high. He ended up having to spend months losing weight/muscle by running loads and eating salads etc before he reached his target BMI. Didn't feel as fit as he had before he was forced to lose weight.... and didn't look it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotinBelgie Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I only know my height in the imperial system 5ft 6ins and my weight in the metric system 76kg so i can't input these figures. please help. 2.2 lbs to the kilo and 14 lbs to the stone, therefore with a bit of mental arithmetic Weight = 2.2 * 76 =167.2 / 14 = 11 st 13.2 lbs Alternatively, 2.5 (Ok so it's 2.54 but that messes with the old mental arithmetic) cm to the 1" and with 12" in a foot Hieght = 5' 6" = 66 * 2.5 = 1 m 65 cm (1.67 if you use 2.54) ScotinBelgie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Dublin End Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 You gotta be taller than that mate? Who me ? 5ft 6ins. At one point when I was about 20 I was 5ft 6 and a half but I have shrunk ; I think its the rain that causes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but if you have heavy muscular structure, you really should bear that in mind when calculating it and take it with a good pinch of salt - unless the reading is very high. If you have a more normal build, it is a perfectly good measurement.

vikingTON Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Salt is bad for you. Take less than 7g a day for adult men. 6g for women. A pinch isn't really that much.

Wee Dublin End Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Salt is bad for you. Too much certainly clogs your arteries , everything is okay in moderation though , but most people take too much salt everyday than they should from processed foods , it's not just piling it onto a fish supper which does the damage. Smoking is bad too , and is drinking too much alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
