Yo, this is excellent BMI is bogus without measuring body fat. I’m glad to see that you focused on diet and exercise as a coordinated effort. It would also be beneficial to monitor RMR,BMI, and calories burned.

Thanks for the feedback Debra. Unfortunately, its an uphill task to convince women to let go of the weight scales. Its so deeply ingrained…..

hi to all,,,I am in such agreement here about the issue of weight defining a nice body. The American culture has women believing that a certain number and it is usually under 130 pounds defines a thin, good looking body and that is a nonsense. A good looking body is strong, fit and healthy, Getting weighed measures fat, bone, muscle and water, that means you could weigh more from holding a lot of fluid not meaning you are fat. Clothes sizes say more about your body than anything and looking in the mirror at yourself.
If you do not like what you see, tone and strengthen the body through weight training and cardio not CRAZY DIETS and being obesessed about weight all the time. I am a size 12 and love my size, I feel comfortable and like what I see.
