Good afternoon!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I am a new member and new to BFL-I bought the book and the journal

and started over a week ago. I'd like to lose some weight but I am

confused by the weight charts-according to my HMO and my MD I am just

right at about 135+ and 5 5 " tall.(I am 45)

the chart my MD has says I am at 23% bodyfat....but my bodyfat scale

says uh-uh NO way girlfriend!!

The scale says 30%

without immersion testing-what to believe? if it matters I feel more

like the 30%.

I used to run almost 4 miles daily-a workout that I really enjoyed.

then I developed RA, had to quit running and gained weight cause I

kept on eating like I was still running!(who wouldn't?)

that was over 2 years ago...and now I can run again. On a treadmill

so it's easier on my ankles and feet.

AND I found BFL.

I don't want to die or age like I see my parents and grandparents did.

Unfortunately that's one of my main motivations at my age!!

I feel like I am at the halfway mark in my life-and I want to do all

I can to ensure that the next half is comfortable and productive for

me. Not diminished and restricted.
