    Andy Hollis:

    If you feel you carry Bo Jackson's level of musculature, who am I to argue with that perception?  Wink

    Come on Andy, I wasn't comparing myself to Bo Jackson, I was pointing out that the BMI charts can easily be disproven.   I agree with Ed (thanks Ed) on the BMI estimates.  Several years ago a coming business venture required I have quite a large life insurance policy.  The underwriter required that I have a full physical exam.  The physician that did the exam used a couple of different methods of figuring my BMI.  At the time I weighed about 220 lbs and had a 32 inch waist.  The physician commented that I was in excellent shape but my BMI listed me at the low end of obese.  He wrote almost a paragraph on the report to regarding this issue after which we discussed the issue.  He said the insurance company would assume I was obese and my rates would be adjusted accordingly.   He said the notes he made on the report may help in that regard. 

    Two years ago I decided to loose the weight I had gained in the previous two years.  Through excercise and diet, I quickly dropped 25 lbs.  As I continued my routine, I actually began to gain weight all the while loosing inches off my waist.   I would still like to drop another 20 lbs or two inches off my waist.  I typically gain about 5 to 10 lbs over the winter because of the reduced activity (no course walking?) and my love of good Italian food.  It doesn't help that St. Augustine has a number of excellent Italian restaurants.  Terrie's cooking doesn't help either.  Smile

    By the way Andy, I owe you an appology for Saturday morning.  You happened to catch me at a particularly inopportune moment.  I didn't get the chance to catch you later in the weekend.

    I'm just busting on ya Steve.  I know all about body types and immersion tests and all that stuff.

    No worries.  Venting is a fine thing.  As you might expect, I'm well-trained in that situation,.  Wink  Appropriate response = just walk away.

    Howdy,

    I know all about them too.  In fact, if there are any SEB members out there that need this service performed, I'll be happy to dunk your ass in a big tank of water, free of charge.

    (actually, a dunk tank at Nationals would be cool.  Make a session in the dunk tank be a work assignment, and have everyone else at the event vote for five people to be in the tank... :-)
