rhyme
I'm 6 foot 2 and about 205-210 pounds (depending on the day, i guess its just water weight differentials). Goal is 190.


You got me beat (6'1 1/4") but I try to kick the sandbag three times a week to keep the Scotch/Irish gut somewhat manageable. Two months off the bag and I immediately metamorphosize into a flabby sack of lard. :oops: Anyway, pound the iron all you want now because come this fall we simply won't have that luxury anymore (so I hear.)

**Besides getting back into shape, I also need to get a tan! Long, overcast Japanese winters fade my skin to the point where I begin to reflect the sun :lol:

The fountain is in Santuary Cove, Gold Coast (Oz). Went down there to blow off some post GMAT steam last summer. The ozone is so thin down under that I had to put on SPF 50 sunblock just to go out and get the newspaper! :oops:

Look like you are doing good Gmatt73. I've gained a little weight as my job is sometimes stressful but also doesn't invovle much moving around. But I think b-school as busy as it might claim to be will leave more time for gym than being full time employed.

Just to recap:This thread started out by someone observing they haven't seen any fat people in business school, and then it moved on to GMATT73 posting a picture of himself, which was followed by people commenting on his physique.

If this isn't a sign that we're running out of things to talk about...

Are there some meds we could take that would make the time until we hear Round 2 decisions more bearable?

no one is still not answered my question, as everyone fell in love with the photograph..

is there a software to keep track of your weight, calorie intake and excercise routine all in one place, other than me writing excel files and keeping track?

Agreed. We are going way off course here, doing just about anything to kill time until summer arrives so we can dive headlong into that almighty first semester. I haven't even been admitted, yet for some reason my mind is already at b-school and the fat physique is just waiting to follow... I also must admit that I made that post at 2am after tanking a bottle of Shiraz. Could Praetorian or another moderator in this forum please delete it. :oops:

Now back to Willget's question, yes there are some fitness calculators/software programs available but I have never used one. You might want to start your research here: https://www.fitwise.com/software.asp and let us know what you can dig up, especially if it's free!

You guys are funny. 2 points:

1. You don't see fat people at b-school because fat is largely a product of socio-economic standing. My good friends from the trailer court aren't going to be joining me at b-school -- they're too poor, have no opportunity. And their main choice for food is the stuff you can get from McDonald's and company, plus convenience stores. For many, particularly in urban areas, grocery stores are simply unavailable. The American fat epidemic is led by our down-trodden, but those of us with more dough are doing our best to catch up.

2. I am HOT. I started teaching aerobics in the spring, and have turned into a little mass of muscle. What sucks is that some clothes I bought in the early fall don't fit anymore so I had to make a last-minute shopping trip to find some duds for my interviews. And then I bought some other stuff cause I am so damned skinny I couldn't help myself. I am going to do my damnedest to keep teaching once school starts. It's the best way to make sure you actually go to the gym -- you have to.
