Thanks Retro...I guess I knew that I was obese but the BMI calc. really put it in perspective, I think I'll go eat 12 oranges and dring 4 gallons of water.....UGH (was monday the BEST day to try that???) : ) Thank you for starting this up. I've been at it for 6 weeks tomorrow and I've lost about 2 dress sizes but the pounds are slow coming off. I'm 42 and already in menapause so it's harder. I'm eating low fat and excersizing 4 or 5 times per week. I do an aerobic step class (ouch) 2 times a week and ride the elipticle machine for 30 minutes 2 days a week and strength train on the days that I do the elipticle. If there are others on here that know more than I do and can advise a better workout then Id be happy to hear from you. Bearing in mind that I have a herniated disk in my c5-c6 and cant do much with my arms. Thanks
You do all of that AND have a herniated disk?? Wow!
I think someone on the ping list said they were a personal trainer. Maybe they can help you out.
I wouldn't worry about the BMI. Get your body fat percentage checked out.
