This says it all

Just speaking my mine.

I am 66 years old. I weigh 208.4, and have a percent of body fat of 17.5%. That means that if I was at 0% fat I would still weigh 171.5 pounds. So that means if I was to get down to a BMI of 25 I would have to get down to 6% body fat. And for my age I am already close to the least amount of body fat I should be at for my age. So where does all this stupid calculations come from that say you have to weigh so and so because the charts says so.
When are they going to wake up and get real meaningful readings for what a person should weigh? Well that is not going to happen because they would have to do it one person at a time. And all they want to do is look at overall numbers.

First ride on my new bike

I finally made my mind up to which road bike I was going to get. Giant Defy 1 it is a wonderful bike to ride not to stiff and it does ride great. I was totally surprised how comfortable the stock seat was seeing how narrow it is. I was also concerned about climbing the hills with having only 2 chain rings up front to work with, but the 10 gears in the back along with the compact chain ring setting was a wonderful experience. While this mornings ride was only 7 miles I did have a 20 mph wind to deal with, which would have meant with my other bike I would not even went out for the ride. But the gears shifted great and I was able to find a good match in gearing to let me have a great ride. I am looking forward to many more rides on this bike.
