Like a lot of women my age, I'm having a little trouble with "middle age spread". I recently read an article that said to avoid heart disease your waist measurement should be no more that half your height. I did some measuring and some quick calculations and decided that I don't need to get slimmer - I just need to get taller. So I'm canceling the gym membership and from now on you'll find me at the playground hanging by my ankles from the monkeybars!
|
I'll meet you there!
|
I guess I should try it but let me know if it works first!
|
Yup - I have a goal weight & a goal height. Still searching for the magic solution for both. :mrgreen:
|
Move over and make room for me!! :D
|
I like your thinking! Thanks for the laugh
|
Thanks for the giggle
|
I think that is a wonderful idea so if you have room I'd love to join you there.
|
lol!
|
That's a good one, thanks.
|
Are you saying you are vertically challenged for weight proportion?

One more to meet ya at the Monkey bars. LOL Sounds good to me!
|
I'm tall----5'10"----but not double my waist measurement! I need to grow a few more inches in height, too. BUT---even my doc says I have "large bone structure" so maybe I don't need to grow as much as I think I do!!!!!

Lol me too.

If those calculations are true..... I am taller than 7 ft. 8 inches. Meeting you at the monkey bars.

One of the best comedy lines I've ever heard is from the show Cheers. Forgive me if I don't get it quite right...
As he walks in, someone asks "what are you up to, Norm?" He answers, "My proper weight if I was 11 feet tall!" About sums it up, doesn't it?! |
I always knew that my problem with spread had nothing to do with what I ate - now I know the answer....I just need to get taller!!! You guys just made my day :)
|
My "pear" has turned into an "apple" but that's still considered a "shape" so I'm in shape.

|

|

I can see it now in the local news:
Monkey Bars-Gone to the Bats? Local officials were stunned on Sunday when they saw all of the local playground monkey bars covered in mammals hanging upside down. And what kind of mammals were these? Not bats. opossums? No. They were women!! When asked the women said they were quilters working on their weight versus height proportions to insure optimum health benefits for thier hearts. All the little kids watched in awe at the over taking of their monkey bars. Will this be a new trend? Stay tuned for updates..... :-) Hugs April PS Who will be at the monkey bars at 12 on Saturday |
I'd have to stretch to 7 foot. Then would be just right.
|
LOL. What time did you say this club started. I needed to be there yesterday.

I'm 71 and I lost 30 pounds!!! Hurray for me. Took
1-1/2 years but I did it. Now to not put it back on. I told my husband that in the past year and a half I have eaten an apple orchard, a banana plantation and a grape vineyard. That's what I snacked on when I got hungry between meals. I don't know when I'll be able to eat lettuce again and enjoy it. But it was worth every minute. |
