I don't doubt I am not at 5%. I know the scale to be ridiculously inaccurate. Which is why I want the DEXA scan.
FYI - I am 5 foot 11 inches, not 9 inches.
For 5ft9 the BMI range is 125 to 169.
For 5ft11 the BMI range is 135 to 179.
I would be super happy reducing my exercise levels and sleep in a bit more or have a few nights to just kick back and only watch the game. And if I could do that and maintain 175, I would be more than happy with that. I just need to get my doctor's sign off on it, or else I risk losing my crown (see link I posted earlier in this thread). If it was just me, I'd say screw my doctor - *I* am happier at 175. But since the newspaper articles and the speaking tours, others are looking at me as an example. The organization I am with has seen a very significant growth in membership since the newspaper articles. My individual chapter went from 15 people trying to get back into shape and doubled to 30 when we had to close membership because the room doesn't hold any more. Other chapters have seen similar growth. So it would be embarrassing to lose that crown. Though my physiotherapist thought it humourous that I could lose the crown by adding muscle mass.
