Yikes!!
 
is that blood pressure, isn't it supposed to be around 120/80 or something, meaning, horrible blood pressure?

yup, 140 and 90-100 is stage one hypertension, 160 and 100 are stage 2, so you're somewhere inbetween.

Mine was 70/140 right after running downstairs and doing some stuff, checked again after a couple mins sitting and it was 74/120.

Not sure how weight/fitness are supposed to effect them, IE being overweight = statistically should be higher blood pressure than normal, i'm not very fit and quite heavy at the mo(though coming down hugely) so figured mine would be bad.

A high blood pressure reading doesn't necessarily mean that you have hypertension. Worth keeping an eye on though. Woudln't hurt to check with your GP.
 
Well like you, I'm a large one. 6 foot 1 and just over 18 stone. My BMI must be about 33 or something. It's not nearly all muscle either, as a quick look in the mirror reminds me.

Having said that, I'm a lot fitter than I was. I'm down from 19 1/2 stone a few years ago. No idea what resting heart rate was back then. I know it was 80 plus, when I was the chubby inactive kid in school. I think carrying this much weight makes me rather injury prone (hamstrings particularly) though. Not good for football, although it is quite satisfying to sprint past people who aren't expecting anything this big to move that fast...

Edit: Blood pressure now fine (it wasn't when I was bigger). Never had a cholesterol test though.

6 ft 1 and 18 stone u must have a lot of excess podge on you, im 6ft 4 and i got a belly on me.
 
I'm 5' 10" (used to be 5' 11" 3/4 acording to the RAF)... and I'm 19 stone!..

Excess 'Podge' doesn't even come close!!.. :)

im 6ft 4, and 16 stone, i need to lose about a 1st 8lbs to be ideal weight, but i just look big built
 
Resting heart rate ~70bpm.

Used to be a lot higher. I'm 6', have been for many years, but my weight's gone up & down. When I was 16, I was 15st 5lbs. Then I went to uni, and a steady diet of narcotics & sleep deprivation got my weight down to 11st & my heart rate to about 105 resting. Now I'm about 12st.
