Was at the Dr today for my Militia physical

[CharmingButch25]

Yes after going back and re reading what I wrote it didn't sound very nice I wouldn't want anyone ganging up on me and I shouldn't have said anything. Have a good evening June and everyone else.

And when my body fat measurement comes up, she tells me, "That's obese!" as if I dont already know that!

I hate that damn thing - she's so mean. lol



eta: ugh - I totally want to eat now! lol

OMFG! This is the funniest thing ever!

Not that the voice is mean but your post!

I think I would want to throw that board out the window.

Btw, my BMI barely makes it into average now. One more fraction of a fraction of an ounce and, well, you know....

I don't think I had 3% body fat when I was born.

However, that wasn't really my issue. I posted that the thread seems self-serving and self-congratulatory. when Stephie said that wasn't the intent, I asked for clarification of the intent by making a thread out of this, rather than just posting a comment in another thread. Stephie has chosen not to respond, which is certainly Stephie's right, but it doesn't help me change my opinion if it is, indeed, a misunderstanding on my part.

Sorry Smirks. My clarification- I was just talking about an interesting thing that had happened to me. Someone also wondered why I posted it as a new thread: In general, I prefer not to hijack threads. I may need to get over that fear, though.

I understood what you were trying to say but I guess I'm weird that way lol. Read between the lines and analyze everything. Try to see all the different sides. Ya know instead of just seeing the trees I try to see the whole forrest .

The first time it happened, I was all, "what did she just say?"

Then when I figured it out .... oh hell no.

LOL



You know, the lowest body fat I have ever had was when I was 21 years old and in boot camp - I was 5'10" (still am, actually, I havent begun to shrink - yet!), 135lbs, and 11% body fat.

Girl, let me tell you, my body flipped its shit - among other things that I cant remember because this was 20 years ago, I stopped having my period for 3 months (boot camp and school afterwards) and I almost completely stopped sweating, which in the Florida sun during July and August is not a good thing. lol

I have had moments where I look at pics of myself back then and long to be that thin again, but honestly, I think it was unbelievably unhealthy - for me - to be that thin with that BMI.

Dont get me wrong, I am no healthier now than I was then - I have gone from one extreme to another since I am now carrying around a Back Street Boy with a weight of 265 & a BMI of 38% if you believe my Wii - a weight of 285 & a BMI of over 40% if you believe the VA, so .... yeah.

Apparently, I need to find a happy medium!

If you pick the right thread, it isnt a hijack.

I agree, going into the Daddy/girl thread to talk about your BMI would probably be a derail and send them all to shaking and scratching their heads!

But the CIJS (Can I Just Say) thread, for example, is filled with a lot of BFPers (like me) just sharing info about themselves, their day, their lives, etc; and while the YSK (You Should Know) thread started out as something different, it has evolved into the same kind of thread - a sort of YSK this or that about me (general me, not just me Parker lol).

Those are just 2 off of the top of my head - there are loads of others in various other areas of the forums where you can share a few things about yourself without feeling like you are derailing.

i struggled with the fear of hijacking threads for awhile (sometimes still do). the fun and games forum has lots of threads to post life updates/awesome things that are going on/etc. and for what it's worth, i have found that helpful. it took me awhile to get used to posting in there, though.

Certainly instead of a new thread this could have been posted in the WTF/Zombie thread, but then we would not have all this drama about truth-telling. And she is a newbie and might not yet have the hang of all the threads.

My calithestics are:

425 Situps
295 Pushups
180 Chinups

I'm getting a Pap tomorrow, I hope I'm cleared to play, too.

The title of this thread caught my eye.. I thought it may be a funny story about a doctors office.. It wasn't. And I needed to know this information .. because? Best wishes for a great season.

Isn't the word calisthenics?

And what are you doing with a Militia physical? Just wondering... What did you need one for? How did your dr measure your body fat?

Thanks!

ruff-THANK YOU for correcting my spelling! I never get that word right. You need physicals to prove you're healthy enough to play. She meausred my fat % by the "pinch" method.

[Glenn]

You ask us for alot of info here but you don't give much back. I studied your log in log off times since you've joined and most days you are here from around noon and log off at around 1 or 2 in the morning. How do you manage the time to stay here, do work-outs, spend time with your fiance, and work or go to school too? How long is your work-out schedule? Most days I see you are not here in the mornings from around 2- 11.

She pinched you?

I think I had my body fat checked on a crowded subway a long time ago.

Seriously though, what is the pinch method?

She pinches with her hands?

A caliper (LOL)?

okay, to be fair, i spend a hell of a lot of time here and i have a life...so having a life doesn't necessarily preclude spending ridiculous amounts of time on the planet (although i'm lucky in that i work from home most of the time.)

although i am curious how you are surviving with 3% body fat. just cannot wrap my brain around that.
