So I took a metabolism test today. And, you know, hyperactivity is no substitute...
for basal metabolic activity... sad, but true.

Not sure how breathing into a tube that goes to a bland looking box determines things, but whatever... it was nice to have a tube in my mouth... :spray:

The good news is that I am just at the borderline obese level (BMI) and not where I thought I was (morbidly obese, which is another 5 points above where I am at).

Bad news is my metabolism is like 20% slower than most human males my age. So it'll be a while before I get the blubber off.

Even with my diet; to lose weight I need to ingest 1350~1650 calories per day and no more.

... but I don't wanna get this thread locked.
