Ok, I really don't agree with these figures, as they really don't

take into account an individual's bone structure. I measure 5'2 and

a half inches. Right now, I weigh 120 pounds (I don't look fat at

all, just normal), but I did go down to 115 last year (where everyone

was telling me that I was TOO thin... which I now agree with them).

Bottom line is there is a range of weight you should be according to

your height. I would think that for you 110 is probably a weight you

should not go below, instead of a goal to try to reach. A healthier

way to approach it is to be within your BMI " healthy " range (20-25),

which for people 5'2 " is between 108 and 135 pounds. I'm not

preaching that the BMI is the best thing, but it appears to be much

more healthy than weighing in at 110, IMO.

I agree with you Janick, That is why in my original post I did also

said that my doctor told me that for my height I should weigh

somewhere between 135 and 150. (I am 5'7 " )

So she told me a 15LB range. I know I was really happy when i was at

140 - 145 LBS and in a size 8. Just want to get back to it. I am now

about 170 -175 and in a size 14. I don't even own a scale. YEAH!! But

I do get on one once in a while at my inlaws, just to see if it is

going down, and not up!!

Thanks,

Beckie who has number 28 done, and only 72 more to go.

I just didn't want Carolyn to think that she should weigh 110,

because it might be unrealistic according to her body type, bone

structure, muscle build, etc...

I do own a scale, but I am not a slave to it. I went back to WW

after a 3 month hiatus (I only gained 2 pounds during that hiatus...

thank god) and our leader was telling us how the scale can act as

only one of the various forms of feedback in our journey. WW uses

the scale because it is the " easiest measurable " form of feedback,

but they don't want their members to become obsessed or be ruled by

the scale. I have certainly adhered to this and have relied on every

other form of feedback, then trying to compare it with that number on

the scale.

I loved this leader's session so much, that I decided to apply for a

group leader job at WW. I have an interview tonight, and will find

out when I will start my training. I want to help others like I have

been helped. I'm also still looking into becoming a group fitness

instructor (step or kickboxing) and into various certification

programs. I'm planning on cutting back my work schedule to 4 days a

week to be able to fit this all in. Anyways, just wanted to let you

guys know.

The interview was actually just a formality. They pretty much hired

me on the spot. The only thing is when I got home to talk to Gilbert

about it, he ridiculed me, and it hurt! He's been having a tough

time at work, and I think that the commitment that is involved with

the training of it all kind of scared him (because he knows that

means he's going to have to do a bit more in the house for the next

few weeks). If I don't have the support from my spouse, I don't

think I can manage it. He kinda asked me to choose between being a

fitness instructor and a WW leader (pushing the fitness instructor,

because he thinks it's more for me).

So now, I really don't know what to do. It's true I am much more

passionate about fitness than I am about WW. But to me, one doesn't

go without the other.

to be 110 pounds -- i am aiming for 125-130 pounds.

At least you (and the rest of us here) can be excited for you that you have

the oppty. to work with WW. I understand your thoughts about WW and fitness

going together. They really do. But it's also hard to do something w/o

support from your spouse. Believe me, I understand! Let us know what you

decide. Let your heart guide you, then you can't go wrong!

Janick,

I know you'll make a great WW and fitness

instructor. That's great that you are able to cut

your work schedule back to accomodate your new

positions. Please keep us posted on how things are

going.
