Weight charts

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Three years before my mother passed away she had to have her gall bladder

removed. It was really bad and we thought we were going to loose her. She

was 5' 3 " and weighed 150. When it was all over her doctor told that had she

weighed what the charts said she should she would not have survived.

Several months before the surgery her doctor also told her not to try to

loose weight as long as she felt well.

At 5' 4 " and heavy boned there is no way I could ever attain the weight the

charts say I should be. I'd be nothing but skin and bones.

Enjoy! ;-)

You know it's funny, I just wanted to make this one point--

I haven't lost weight, and in fact I'm almost " obese " according to the new

charts at the doctor's office. All my life I've been considered underweight

by

these charts, and before I was 5'7 1/2 " and 134 pounds. Since I've been

working out over six months or so, I've gotten up to 151 pounds. According

to the

Weight Watchers chart over the scale at the doctors this is around the max I

should weigh with my height and build-- as if I were fat! So when I lost 5

pounds due to a chronic diarrhea problem I had (until I got rid of it with

Primal

Defense), the PA or whatever she is said " oh great, you've lost some

weight! "

LOL! Yeah, how FANTASTIC!!! Thankfully I gained it all back quickly.

That's so funny that if I keep working out and building muscle over the next

few months I'll end up " overweight " !
