Dr. Phil is 6'4" and TWO-FORTY???? WAAAAAH!!!

[BiggJawn]

And *HE* wants to tell *ME* how to get the blubber off???

"Physcician, Heal Thyself."

Saw an article in today's paper about his latest endevour...
OK, according to the same height-weight-BMI tables I'm working with, Ol' Phil is not only overweight, he's border-line Obese...And he wants to tell the REST of us how to take it off?

That's not setting well. This was a busy week, only got in 27 miles. Went 11 miles against a 12 MPH headwind yesterday that kicked my butt and left me drained. Too much to do today to ride,and i felt crappy from yesterday anyway.Won't get another chance until maybe Wednesday (if I'm so fuckin' busy, why ain't I hauling in 80 kilobux a year?) and I'm having doubts that losing 80 pounds in 80 weeks is realistic.
Well, I DID turn around and got to boogie the 8 miles home in 33 minutes...Guess it wasn't a total loss...

Man, that's like finding out a "Smoking Cessation Counseler" chain smokes...

1. Just remember:

those that can, do

those that can't, teach (or, in his case, preach)

B-)

[LosinIt]

6. and those who can't teach, teach gym

a line I learned from a former lover who was, of course, a gym teacher!

[dawgman]

2. Well I'm 6'3" 250 and I am not fat.

Height and weight don't matter. It is body fat and the health of your heart and longs.(of course by longs I mean lungs: )

[cherryperry]

10. You're exactly right!

I was really making a joke to give thread originator a laugh; but, really, Dr. Phil, IMHO, is a flabby gasbag who really seems like he's quoting self-help books, so I was really off-point. There was thread originator's post vs. reality and I chose to only deal w/his post. Reality is the fact that height/weight don't matter in fitness and also, as subsequent opinions here, the fact that people all have different priorities. For instance, I prefer someone's heart to their outer facade any time! However, I also consider someone's insipid grandiosity and that's what drives me nuts about people like Dr. Phil - even that stupid name he goes by seems contrived or childish. "Dr. Phil"; tooey!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

3. Yeah

that's always bothered me quite a lot.

4. If your fit, don't obsess

You are getting your heart and other muscles better able to handle the extra weight. It sounds like you have a lot of weight that you want to lose, but don't worry if you don't lose all of it if you are healthy and exercise every day.

7. Yeah, but with the pump and bellows I'm building now...

..I'll be a fuckin' MACHINE on 2 wheels when I get to 200.

I'm thinking Amateur Racing...

but i gotta get rid of the 80, first.

[sasquatch]

5. Who gives a rat's ass I'm 6'6" tall and weigh 295 lbs.

[BiggJawn]

8. Yeah, and I'm 6'4" and 284...And Diabetic. And Hypertensive....

AND...."High Risk" for Arthritis...AND I pay $135 out of pocket for all my fancy-assed pills every month.

If you're not, I envy you, 'Squatch...

[sasquatch]

9. I have Asthma

But, I've had it all my life. I don't have any joint problems or anything yet escept for the occasional sore back. When that happens I just do some Yoga.

[SmileyBoy]

11. DAMN!! I'm only 5'10" and 220 lbs.

And a lot of folks think I'm pretty big.

[Ellen Forradalom]

12. So if you don't take his advice, he'll kick your ass.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. I have a feeling that, a. 220 is not his weight... more like 270

and
b. I think the average 10th grader in my neighborhood could kick his ass.

[cherryperry]

14. LOL
