Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster. I decided to make a guesstimate at Anna’s weight after reading this thread because I strongly suspect she is not truthful about her weight.
I used this screenshot of her fitness watch (posted by another member in this thread, which was from one of her Stories iirc).
So based on the above screenshot, we have sufficient info to figure out her weight. We know that she walked for 1.89 miles, for 53 mins 47 seconds, at a pace of 28’24” a mile, and burned 460(?) calories during this time.
So first, I used a walking pace converter to convert her 28’24” pace to either mph or kmph speed (as that is what we will need to reverse engineer an estimate of her weight):
Based on the calculator, her pace of 28’24” is a speed of 2.11mph or 3.40km/h. This checks out with the Fitbit data because she did walk for 53mins 47seconds and did just under 2 miles (1.89miles).
Next, I used a walking calorie calculator to reverse engineer her weight. (At first I used a running calorie calculator, but her walking speed was so slow that it was not in the drop down list of selections for speed.) How these calculators usually work is, you key in your age / height / weight / speed / length of workout, and it tells you how many calories you burned. Since we have all the other stats, and since we know Anna burned 460 calories in that workout, we can reverse engineer her weight.
So I keyed in Anna’s stats (age 35, height 5’10”, female), and her workout stats (speed of 2.5mph, and workout time of 54 mins). I was “kind” to her and rounded UP her speed, because the speed options were only 2.0mph or 2.5mph. I suppose it would have been more accurate to round it down from 2.1 to 2.0 rather than up from 2.1 to 2.5, but I didn’t bother because I figured at her weight it might not make much of a difference, and we only needed a good estimate, not the exact poundage. But this is just all to say, the weight might be a slight underestimation.
Anyway, I started off by keying in Anna’s weight as 400lb, because it’s a figure I often see in this thread:
Based on that calculator, she is WAY heavier than 400lbs. If she were 400lbs, she would only have burned 284 calories doing that workout - nowhere close to the 460 calories her screen showed.
So after playing around with various numbers, the one that came closest to 460 calories burned was 760 lbs. Screenshot below:
Based on the above, if she were 760 calories she would burn 454 calories, which is close enough to the 460 calories shown on her screen.
So TL;DR: Anna is nowhere near the 400lbs weight often quoted here. Based on reverse engineering her stats found on her fitness watch, she is closer to 760lbs.
Sorry if the format is weird, I am posting this on mobile. Hope the screenshots and all show up correctly.
