Now, for the next two please do it on a scale of 1 to 9, 1 being thinnest.
What you rate your current figure at: 4
Explanation of rating - Have given 4 because being a size 12 on bottom and 14 on top I think that I am about average. I have decided that at '1' you'd be ill and 9 you'd also be ill so 4's a happy medium. I am what I class as heavy (but in a good way) ie I weigh more than people would think. I don't in fact weigh myself anymore I seen no point as long as I fit in my clothes I'm happy. I recently had fitness test and BMI was 12.5 and came out in 'lean' category on charts. I was the same as this when I was 16 but weigh over 2 stone more now than back then (am still same height etc btw). The difference here being that I am now a bit of a fitness freak (because I gave up smoking and I love food I have to be or I'd be the size of a small horse!) and although I don't look as slim as some people only 8.3 kg of me is fat so I'm heavy because of muscle (also found this out in fitness test). I would like to look a little slimmer but without changing my exercise regime (ie start running distances instead of bulk building) I don't think I'll achieve my ideal which but its not far off where I am now. I'm proud of my body and tone etc of course there are little things that I would change if I could but on the whole I think I'm fine.
What your ideal figure would be: 3.5 - would like to lose a little bit of me belly, bum n hips just a kilo or so would do but not too fussed on these cos they match me top half and if I did I may look unbalanced.
There - hope that's ok and answers questions thoroughly

Thankyou, everyone will be getting their rep when it lets me give rep again so i havent forgotten about you
Emspem thanks for the detailed explanation, and to everyone else that gave one its really useful to know a bit more about why people rated themselves how they did.
Only thing was a BMI of 12.5 I'm 18.2 and considered underweight?

Sex: it's been done to death so I'l say Male.
Current figure - 5
Ideal figure - 5
Might sound narcissistic, but I don't think I need to lose any weight, probably better off gaining a few pounds. A bit of toning up would probably help too, but the rating was for thin / fat unless I've read it the wrong way. This time last year I'd have put myself at 3 and 5 respectively as I lost a lot of weight. A good Pizza shop and an appetite for ale has helped me back up to 10st7 at 5'6".

anything under 20 is considered under weight... 12.5 is very impressive.black_cinq said:Thankyou, everyone will be getting their rep when it lets me give rep again so i havent forgotten about you

however it isnt an accurate reading as mentioned above, the important number is total body fat weights compared to total weight!

Cheers - just had the last one done a couple of months ago and was well pleased with it - only thing that could be better is my lung capacity but otherwise I'm as fit as a fiddle n have flexibility of 16 yr old!!! lol But would be interesting to have another one done in a bit cos I've started swimming to add to my regime so would be intersting to see if that changes anything am hoping it may improve my lungs?!mase_abarth said:anytime u need another fitness test to chart your progress, give me a call

Yup I was pincered in strategic places to get my readings - they couldn't even pinch a mm on my tricep - very proud of this
depending on the length of time of the swin and intensity.EmSpem said:
if u want to increase lung capacity or how much oxygen your lungs can exchange then u need to do CV for as long as humanly possible. reaching your anaerobic threshold.
if u want to make your lungs more efficent u need to make them work harder, u can get special mouth pieces that make breathin harder, do CV with one of these and u will cause your lungs to work harder to exchange the oxygen, eventually makin it easier to do so when u are breathin normally, puttin less strain on your respiritory system!
