I went to the doc yesterday and of course had to be weighed

I am 18 - 25 lbs over where I like to be and my BMI is terrible

Doc asked what I have been doing and told him the long rides and mileage. His comment was "I couldn't make it" (He's a runner)
He also said "you are not fat, you seem to have a lot of muscle" I could have kissed him!

I HATE the BMI index and everyone is touting it like gospel. It only takes into account weight and height and has nothing to do with fitness. 3 years ago I was 18 pounds lighter and my BMI was great, a 20 mile ride about killed me. Now my BMI is terrible and I can go 65 miles with no problem AND swim 2500 yards in a hour (Not on the same day ) Go figure

I am hitting the big 5 - OH in december along with the big M in a few years I think if I don't get this weight off now it is only going to get harder

I need to use the motivation of 20 less pounds to pull up a hill Man I'd be fast
