160.4 this morning.

@Tucson,

I am lazy and sometimes forgetful. I like just walking without having to set the watch to anything. Since it isn't integrated with mfp, I have to enter that by hand, so making the adjustment for daily life is no big deal.

Your BMI is right in the middle of the healthy range. I do think the BMI normal/healthy range might be off by 1. I think for most people, 25 is healthier than 19. Life expectancy is better for people in the 25-29 range than for those in the 14-18 range. I do think they are right about 30 being obese though. It's not about how you look, it's body fat % that starts getting into the danger zone for complications.

I want my BMI at the upper end of normal because I have muscular legs and I trying to get my chest and arms built up a little again (not like a body builder, but with some definition). I am seeing a little improvement from the dumbbell rows, table pull ups (doing 20 at a time with legs fully extended) and push ups. Also paddling helps with that. Part of the reason to get the upper body in shape is for paddling.
