23.85 I don't think I'll be joining you guys
I'm 23.88, but that's still pretty close to the line, IMO. I'm already doing THINGS to get healthier and give me some muscles, so meh.

I think it´s quite safely in the NORMAL zone
At 182/79 I dont think I´m particularly at risk of developing obesity. Of course I´m trying to stay fit, excercise, run, swim and play tennis/squash from time to time, and losing say 4 kg wouldnt be bad, but I dont think its anything to go into a challenge mode about Plus, I do have a reasonable amount of muscles - pretty much the reason for no longer having 71 like I used to

I do love me some swimming, but not done it in aaaaaages! I'll get in touch when I know my class times maybe!
I come out about 26.88 at the moment... but was down to 26.13 at my best.
Main thing is to find a sporting activity you enjoy.... For me it's badminton and cycling. But not done much over the winter
Another trick is to just downgrade stuff.... like mcoys to walkers, or walkers to quavers sort of thing. Rather than not having stuff.
Stick me down as a sponsor, and good luck guys!

My issue is not so much a sporting activity I enjoy, it's more a sporting activity that doesn't try and kill me. I ended school at 18 just about still able to play badminton. I'm pretty good as well. Need someone to play with is the slightly tricky part as well.

I wasn't too bad at badminton when I was at school. Was one of the few sports where I didnt suck! lol.

I played badminton 3 times a week from the age of 14 onwards. Had to stop when I went to uni due to moving away and not being able to fit in the club times around Uni... which was annoying as I was GOOD.
I have £150 of badminton racket sat in my room doing generally bugger all and then having dodgy legs really doesn't help with my playing badminton either

OK as we aren't that far apart would Wol and bloke perhaps be interested in finding a club or place or whatever where we can meet up and play. Even if it is once a week it is more than I'm currently doing. Shout if you are interested, nothing serious. My knees are bad even by my standards so would be a relatively gentle game . If you are then we can investigate places that work for everyone.

The reason I found badminton to be good compared to say a gym is the competitive side of it.
I am noot uber competitive but the fact you are aiming for a goal (Say compared to swimming/gymming etc) makes it more fun and keeps you going
I only play once a week but it all helps
