I was around 180, and I kept that weight until I was stuck in bed for about two full years. My weight slowly climbed to 297 pounds, because I was too ill to walk more than a few steps. I didn't know that I was diabetic, so the weight just piled up. I have lost 50 pounds and I am working to lose more of it. It isn't easy, when you walk with a cane, and even then, not well. -- |

... 70+ years ago we went swimming May 1st whether there was ice in the lake or not, just so long as the water was open at our swimming hole near the outlet. --- Gerry :-)} London,Canada I went swimming in a partly frozen lake on a warm day in early May to see how far I could swim to save someone. The answer was not far at all, certainly not 50 yards if even 50 feet. My skin was too numb to really feel the cold but I also couldn't grab a rope or walk out easily. --jsw |

... ...I think the average human body puts out 300w of heat on a regular basis, much more when working. It's around 300 BTU. 341 BTU/hr = 100 W. https://www.gohvacsales.com/static_d...eople_load.pdf --jsw |

Thanks, Hardi. From 260 sleeping to 2000 BTU/hr working/swimming is quite a range. -- Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. -- Albert Einstein |

Thanks, Hardi. From 260 sleeping to 2000 BTU/hr working/swimming is quite a range. I learned 100W per person as a rule of thumb for the heat a seated audience generates, to judge how to set the heating or cooling before a performance. https://www.controlbooth.com/threads...theater.22939/ Then there's Summer Stock theatre in an old barn with no heating or cooling. Glad I wasn't under the hot lights on stage! (I was operating them from the booth). --jsw |
