Hi Henrik, it sounds like you've made a great start. The exercise will speed your metabolism back up, so good for you for hitting the gym! You'll be back at the weight you want to be before you know it. Keep it up!
This February I had a physical checkup that had the following results:
BMI
BMI: 32,4
That’s Obese no matter where you look. And I definately don’t have a muscle-filled body that would artificially inflate my BMI - simply put, I’m overweight, fat, obese and my health is at risk.
I’m in the worst bracket on the chart I’ve got.
Belly circumference
Belly circumference: 110 cm
The chart I’m looking at puts me in the group of hish risk of cardiovascular disseases since I’m wider than 102 cm - and I would have to be slimmer than 94 cm to be in the Low risk of cardiovascular dissease.
I’m in the worst bracket on the chart I’ve got.
Body Fat Percentage
Body Fat Percentage: 28,9%
The chart I got lists me as Significantly Elevated
I’m in the worst bracket on the chart I’ve got.
Blood Pressure
Systolic BP: 122 mmHg
Diastolic BP: 76 mmHg
That’s Normal, bordering Optimal
So, finally, a measurement that I shouldn’t worry about.
HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol was oddly enough not listed with any rankings except that HDL cholesterol should be above 1 (which it isn’t) and LDL cholesterol should be below 3 which is definitely isn’t.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides: 2,8 mmol/l
A triglyceride level above 3 is considered Moderately Elevated on the chart I got - and it needs to be less than 1,7 mmol/l to become Ideal.
Blood sugar
Blood sugar: 5,6 mmol/l
Normal levels is between 4 and 6,1, so my fasting blood sugar is right where it should be.
VO2Max
VO2Max: 30,5 ml/kg/min
According to my chart my VO2Max is Very Low
So everything except for my blood pressure and my blood sugar level is in a bad bad shape.
