I was just about to point out that 20-25 is supposed to be the ideal range. (ALthough apparently it doesn't work for super muscly athletes so they come out obese when they're not.)

Same with OH.. he's just all muscle and didn't take too kindly to the Occ Health nurse telling him he was officially obese!

I was glad when people stopped calling me skinny because it was an insult.

I know exactly what you mean! Everyone's calling me it again and I hate it - I'm not even as "skinny" as I was.. I'm just slim

erin doesnt play much with toys she would rather have the phone book to tear up, the pillows to eat and the dvd player to press the buttons!

Oh yes - i forgot about that one!
We went to visit my friend yesterday, her little girl is 10w older than mine.
When they were both on the carpet, they turned around, and crawled together, past the pile of toys, to the DVD player!

I'm 25 apparently - on the border of ideal and overweight.
And it doesn't work for OH - it has him down as obese........when in reality he's 5'11 and solid muscle - not an ounce of fat on him!

I don't really understand weight either. I'm 5'7, and when weight gets mentioned ever, people always so 'oooh, you don't look that heavy!'. :mad: Maybe the old heavy bones rumour is real!

either of you want me to share some of my poundage? I'm sure between us we'd all work out a lovely size 10/12 ish?

ETA: Oh, I forgot about this, must had multi-quoted it earlier.

I have this, but it is very crackly from the parent end and actually gives me a head ache. We went out and bought a digital one, but that one will be fine to send to grannies house :rotfl:

I've got an older version, I don't have to move to see the time

Oh I likey, but it means I would have to give up the phone at the side of the bed, I do have an old alarm clock on top of the wardrobe that doesn't light up the whole room, but then I would have to get my butt out of bed when the phone goes

I don't own scales so haven't a clue how much a weigh - I just know I can only get back into 1 pair of pre-pregnancy jeans :mad:

NMS - most of my pre-pregnancy clothes is still in the loft *DEEP sigh*...

Mrs T - you never know re Weightwatchers a few tweaks with the receipes and you could indulge your addiction in moderation.

(I was a member of WW from the age of 11 :eek::eek: until my weight spiralled out of control due to my PCOS.

All my issues stem from the PCOS, weight, skin, hair and fertility.

It's a horrible syndrome wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
