Jim is overweight according to the weight tables. People keep telling him
he is too skinny. Yes, muscle is heavier than fat and the average American
does not have much to base the weight tables on. That is marvellous progress,
Steve - you are a lot better off being in such great physical shape even if
you don't fit the weight tables. Bones are also heavy and they get heavier
when you exercise. A more accurate way to measure overweight is by pinching
the fold of fat under your upper arm. I have instructions in a book. It
helps to have a caliper (something to measure the thickness of the fold).

I mostly figure that my body will adjust itself to the lifestyle I'm living,
so if I make an attempt to do reasonably healthy things, however my body
responds is probably ok. Given what I can now do that I couldn't do a few
months ago, and how I'm feeling, I think I'm doing pretty well. I'm still
dropping weight, although not as fast as I once was. If I start gaining
significant weight again I may worry, but for the moment I think I'm in pretty
good shape.
