July 24, 2022. Weighing Scale / myLot

July 24, 2022 11:01am CST

At 10 AM, I was able to attend our Praise and Worship online. After the songs, I turned off the live and had shower. Prepared for the 2 PM service. Arrived at bus terminal at 12:04 PM and reached church at 1:51 PM. Had 9 minutes before 2, rushed to the restroom and changed my clothes. After the service, we had our meeting. Before the meeting proper, we lined up for our weight to be gathered. We have a goal to at least lose the extra pounds. I weighed 71kg. I am overweight based off BMI. Our goal is to trim those unwanted fats and reach the "healthy" mark on BMI benchmark. We do this in line with our goal to become physically and spiritually healthy. "Only a healthy me can be a blessing to others" - our pastor's quotable quote.

If you’re over weight it’s healthy to lose the excess weight. I wish you success.

@RubyHawk it's easy to increase weight but not easy to reduce it especially in this pandemic.

@cacay1 That’s true. You must follow a light diet to lose weight.

How tall are you? 156 lbs doesn't sound overweight to me. Where did the church find the BMI index you're all using? Some of them are outdated online. So, if you have a very fat person in your church, they can't be a blessing to loved ones or friends? I don't think I'd like your pastor.

The BMI measurement is not church initiative. It is for my group only. I actually got the BMI calculator online. I hope it is the updated version. My leader observed that we all gained weight so the goal right now is to go back to our old built but healthier. I am 5'6" Regarding the quote, I like to think, he is not talking about the physical attributes of a person. It is the inner self. It is the spirituality. If a person at church is not spiritually healthy, he can't lead someone to being spiritually healthy as well. If a blind person is helping a blind person, what will happen? Something like that. But not physical. Our group's initiative to lose extra fats is our agreement to be accountable for each other.

@jobelbojel, What's your new weight now? 71 kg is okay. In this pandemic I noticed many increased weight. Me too, increase some pounds. I have to reduce my weight before going back to work come September 2, 2022.

@jobelbojel thanks. Yup, during the past months I was overworked... My father was hospitalized in the city so I had to travel everyday for almost four months to bring all their needs with my mother who stayed there with him... I ate a lot during those times but because I was too tired everyday, I lost weight...
