I found another BMI calculator that takes into account your gender and frame size in addition to height. It suggests that my goal weight is on the upper end of a healthy range but I could adjust my goal down another 15 lbs for the low end of the range. Food for thought!

Can't wait to see the new transformed you! <BR/><BR/>Don't know what to tell you about the goal weight issues...have you tried checking your BMI to see where your goal weight falls? Underweight, normal, overweight, etc? That might be a good way to see if your goal weight is appropriate or should be adjusted. <BR/><BR/>http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm<BR/><BR/>And the Americas Top Model thing is such crap! Good for her - but a plus model is now a size 10?!?!

I'm sure it is further exaserbated by the aforementioned faulty undergarment. (Or at least that is what I will choose to believe.) Thanks for the unbelievabra trip, I'll have to give it a try.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410002407855752531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750188288819360388.post-73625545813718826652008-05-29T06:48:00.000-07:002008-05-29T06:48:00.000-07:00OH ugh, the model thin crap.

I have lost some motivation to workout. But, I found some new things, the Wii fit and swimming in the pool with my girls. I have been staying at my regular weight, but I have noticed an increase in desire for trashy food! My sister's coming to live with me and she really wants to lose some weight, that should help motivate me as well.LCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302609358772748900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750188288819360388.post-58350110251738006022008-05-28T18:35:00.000-07:002008-05-28T18:35:00.000-07:00Lori,I'm sorry to say but "back fat" is largely ca...Lori,<BR/>I'm sorry to say but "back fat" is largely caused by your bra. Exercising will help a little, but changing your bra will help a lot. I can definitely relate to the back fat and muffin top issues. I have tried every exercise and diet, but nothing seemed to work. I then saw a TV show with the skinniest of models. To my surprise they too had back fat. Then they explained... any time you have elastic bands pushing into flesh, you will get bulges. They demonstrated by twisting a rubberband on the models wrist. That was a lightbulb moment. <BR/><BR/>Then they showed some new bras... I really liked the Unbelievabra by a new company Shapeez (www.unbelievabra.com) so I went online and order one. It hides all my little (and not so little) imperfections left over from having 2 kids. It provides shaping, support and lift. It is so comfortable, I have since trashed all my other bras. It is worth a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
