Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Beth, Will you please post the link to Dr. Koop's Web site? I tried Dr. Koop.com and it says: The drkoop.com URL and web site is not associated with C. Everett Koop, M.D., former Surgeon General of the United States. Copyright © 2002, Vitacost Holdings, Inc. Additionally, clicking on the " weight loss " link takes you to a supplement selling company (who is the copyright holder). I'm sure that's not the right site...right? Thanks, Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Well bust my hide, I didn't even notice that!! Goodness, it just isn't right that people can take a well respected person's name and use it for their own gain.... But I still do stand by the validity of that weight chart. And, just to validate my own thoughts on it, I checked with the U.S.D.A. site (yup, made sure it was the official one! lol) and they are even MORE generous (and, IMHO, more realistic): http://warp.nal.usda.gov/fnic/dga/weight.htm Beth " lynnedurham " <lynnedurham@y...> wrote: > Beth, > > Will you please post the link to Dr. Koop's Web site?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 I like their chart better. They have me as two pounds less than MY goal of 130. WW has me at 123. I have been at 115 and looking at the pictures I look gaunt. I liked being at 130 cause I was skinny but still had curves in all the right places ) I figured I would see what I look at 130 and then decided what to set my goal at.
