How fat actually is the average /ck/ dweller? https://straw

Why not strawpoll.me ???

BMI is not an accurate representation of obesity because it does not differentiate between body fat % and muscle mass %.
That being said, I'm a tub of fat.

My fitness levels are pretty good but I have some chub due to loving food.

BMI is poor, just go for bodyfat %

>>9027904
Those categories are totally fucked. 1 - anorexic; 2 - normal; 3 - overweight and so on.

BMI 24 here
i should lose weight, i won't though

>>9027919
It's good for anyone who isn't a bodybuilder or powerlifter.

>>9027904
This is a shitty poll. People often have a distorted perception of their own fatness and will say they're normal even if 20 pounds or more overweight.

>>9027927
A BMI above 18.5 is not anorexic. You're just fat and surrounded by fatties every day.

>>9027904
I'm at 24.1 BMI. I'm not shredded, but slightly flabby. I'm trying to exercise more but my diet is pretty okay, maybe a tad heavy in carbs, fried food, and meat. I've been losing a little weight since I started doing a little lifting, hiking, and spending time on a treadmill.

>>9027934
I mean I would say that I'm overweight but under BMI I'm "normal".

>>9027954
Carbohydrates from whole/unrefined foods are not in any way bad, if you need the calories. No one ever got morbidly obese eating beans, tubers, and whole grains, and fruit. There isn't enough intestinal surface area for that to happen.

>>9027982
I generally don't need that many calories is the thing. The majority of my hobbies are sedentary,as well as my career.

acording to my bmi i need to lose more than 50lbs to be normal

i'm not in the best shape of my life but i'm losing weight and wear normal person clothes and i haven't weighted 50lbs less than i do now since i was 10 or 11 and i wasn't a fat kid

This is the delusional fatty response to hearing "BMI". The people who have an inaccurate BMI due to muscle mass are less than 0.01% of the population.

>>9028115
i'm not delusional. i lost 20 lbs. i want to lose 30 more

50 would be too much but that would be what i need to be normal bmi

>>9028170
According to the BMI scale, I would be obese at 180lb, which is a normal weight for somebody my height to have if they lift anything at all ever.
It's not an accurate system, literally at all.

>>9028170
i dont look morbidly obese like these charts seem to think just fucking fat.


i can fit in a subcompact car without my stomach rubbing the wheel etc and im only 315lbs 6 foot 3

That's not good. You should move more. Stuff made from wheat tends to be the most energy dense starchy food because of its low water content, so I tend to avoid that when not moving much.

28, but that's down from 36+ a year ago.

I went from a BMI of 26.4 to 23.1 in the past 6ish months @ a 25lb loss.

BMI is weird, I was really fat looking but barely into the overweight category. I think that's mostly due to aesthetics of where your weight is stored, I was a midsection guy.

Now I'm a little further into the normal range than I was into the overweight category, and I think my body looks worse lol. I look ok with clothes on, but I look deflated under them. I still look chubby though, I guess I need to get down to like a 20 and/or lift weights

>>9027904

And how many people do you think have spent more than 6 months lifting weights?

I'll give you a hint: it's a very, very, very tiny segment of the population.

>>9028417
At my highschool, at least half the kids were on sports teams (senior year PE only had like 5 kids cause everyone else was exempt due to varsity sports) and they all lifted. I think you underestimate how athletic the average person is.

>>9028417
You know what, I don't know. I don't think I'm all that special though. My point, in defense of the one guy's argument up there, is that BMI is a little inaccurate for serious amateur athletic types. Body fat percentage is where it's at. People fucking know when they're being delusional about themselves or not. You can't tell if someone on the internet is lying unless they're giving you some obviously ridiculous numbers.

>they all lifted, therefore they are all Mr Olympia
that doesn't mean anything, everyone "lifts". I "lift" because I do 12x hours of strenuous cardio every week and it's all I can do not to look like a complete skellington. my mom "lifts" and she was born in the 1940s, she uses small dummbells and bumper plates and lifts under strict geriatric PT supervision. my fat alcoholic coworker "lifts" and he's wider than he is tall, he's developing retard strength so that when he gets into his final drunken blackout bar fight or whatever, he can commit involuntary manslaughter before being tazed several times and dying from cardiac arrest.

Thanks! I lost the 120 lbs over 2.5 years partially because I didn't want to lose weight too fast so I could minimize the loose skin and partially because I gained 20 lbs in the middle when I got a new job and moved across country.

I lost the weight by just cutting out all liquid calories, limiting myself to 1800 calories per day, and by walking for 2 hours 4-5 times a week. I would jog/run but I can't because my ankles are fucked up.

Most people who go to the gym regularly. Although I stick to cardio to get my fitness up & maintain it after decades of neglect, and don't particularly care about weight loss or building muscle mass. Even without the weights (I.e. just resistance cardio machines) I've visibly & measurably gained muscle mass.

>I really need to start being a bit more active.

You can start by being more active in your own kitchen and not eating pre-made meals

>>9033908
Went from 280 to 190 in about a year.
Just cut soda, alcohol, fat and carbs like that other Anon said, and watch your calorie intake while exercising a bit.
It may sound like it's a lot of things to do, but drinking water can quickly become your norm, eating healthier/less becomes natural (I did it after a short fasting period after I got sick, stomach reduced its size. May be placebo, but I genuinely couldn't eat as much as I did before), and exercise can be included in your daily schedulde easily.
For example, I walked to work almost everyday, instead of taking my car. It included roughly 1 hour of light exercise (Depending on how fast you walk) 5 times a week. Throw in a few exercises at home once a week and you'll lose a dozen pounds every month.
The hardest part is to stay away from garbage food/sodas when you're with friends.
