Morbidly Obese

So according to the World Health Organization I am overweight, and a year ago I was considered Obese. I always thought I was a little fat, but I never thought I was Obese. Based on my Body Mass Index I need to get down to 195 before I am in the "normal" range. My goal was 210, but there again I would still be considered overweight. I am at about 20% body fat right now according to my scale at home. They say that you should be about 10% minimum, and below that isn't healthy. So I only have another 10% that I should lose. That would only be 22.5 pounds which would put me at 202 pounds, still almost 10 pounds overweight! Don't get me wrong, my goal is to be about 180-185, but not until next year. Right now I need to stay over 210 to continue to mountainbike race in the clydesdale division. I guess what I see is that the scale sould have some movement for people that have large frames (like me). I think that when I hit 210 I will have a 6 pack again. I hope to hit 210 somtime around August.

So the next Intermountain Cup race is tomorrow at 5-mile pass. I really hope that it stays dry enough that the course isn't a mud-hole. I have comitted to riding it regardless of the weather, but I would rather it be nice.
