I am tall, but I'm also small boned. I can touch my thumb to my index finder around my wrist (I do have freaksihly large hands though :lol:) And Somerled...I do not like political debate, but I will say that neither side is perfect. So badgering won't work And trust me, learning time has been a life-lesson for me the past year and a half. I think I have a pretty good handle on it now :lol: |

From a dieting site. I wouldn't put much weight(pardon the pun) on this article. I'm 5'2" and I weigh 165lbs. My frame isn't really that large, but no one will say I'm really overweight. But I did read somewhere that the ideal weight for my height was around 130. Not for 5'6". That would be considered pretty skinny I think. Bug, if I were you I would lose weight if it makes you feel better. Not to adhere to the standards of ANY diet website. I'd more be looking at medical sites. |

This is quite true. I give myself between four and six months to prepare for a marathon. When I lost fifty pounds many years ago, it was done over a six-month period. BTW, I think the 'instant gratification' mindset is debilitating, but it probably won't go away. Things take time. And patience is still a virtue.

Actually, the data originally came from Metropolitan Life Insurance Actuarial tables. Here's the same data from another site. Oh, and the tables should be used for women wearing 1" heels. http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/met.htm There are also ways to determine your frame size. At the bottom of the page is a link to another page with an interesting calculator. Interesting for me, at 5'11" and 199 pounds. For my large frame I shouldn't be more than 188. Maybe so. I notice the aches in my knee more, especially climbing stairs. Climbing ten stories of ramps followed by stairways to the upper deck last Saturday had me wishing for my cane again. I am currently 4 lbs over Navy allowable maximum, not that I could pass the physical again, but I try to keep close. |

^^^ I had a physical about two months ago (it was in late June). I did so in order to increase the amount of life insurance I have on me, just in case I were to pass away suddenly. They took my blood pressure three times (I'm told this is now standard procedure). I knew it would be slightly high the first time, as I really don't like it being taken. I never have, actually. It decreased steadily the next two times (to around 130/80). When I've completed a ten-mile (or so) run, my blood pressure is routinely around 135/90. The lower number decreases once I'm at rest. My pulse was around 52 beats per minute. This low pulse, coupled with no abnormalities in my heart rate, made the person doing the examination quite happy. I did not like having the HIV test, since there is no way I could have any HIV-related positives if what I read on the subject is accurate. (One never knows with false positives these days.) But I had it done anyway, so as not to raise any red flags during the application process. In any event, I passed, and the insurance was increased substantially. |

Hoss, Is that the doctor's name? I'd like a recommendation, if possible. Thanks.

I just tried this. With the middle and ring (fourth) fingers it is easy, but with the index finger, I come up short by about a centimeter. |
