Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I wasn't going to write back again because, frankly I feel rather dumb at the minute. Maybe I don't need my bmi that badly. But you multiply your weight which is 17 pounds (grin) times 709. okay not you do your height in inches twice, actually forgot what you do, but also, do you add the 2 heights and devide or whatever or do you take one and devide it then the other? This thing has got me, I'll tell ya, N I have always been pretty good at math. Not today. Vicki You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying Him, and committing yourself firmly to Him. ~ Deuteronomy 30:20, NLT where did I get all these carbs/highbloodcount from? I had a bowl of cereal this morning, I had two slices of good variety brown bread, the heavy type, with a generous amount of cream cheese on each half slice, I had three chicken/with batter/light,andand some frozen vegies, *fried a little in Basel margerine, but here's the catch, I had a glass of a kinda of kool aide drink, I thing I did it for ssure on the drink; I got an amazing blood count too high! I'm a little mythed on the hight count, but thinking about it again, maybe the kraft creamed cheese was was too much despite the reading from the label, *1 carg per 1 table spoon of philadelphia creamed cheese! I've noticed that one cannot always get a predictable reading as our system holds sugers from not only today, but days of the past. Any comments would be welcomed. Ken B in Toronto.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 You take you height and divide it into the number you got by multiplying your weight times 709 and then divide it again by your height in inches..

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Dan, I think that is way off. My calculation is 42.6, which is way above morbidly obese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Ricky Joe, You're welcome. I have the same fight with weight and it seems like a mountain to climb, but I have to make mole hills out of mountains so I can handle it. Try brown rice, that will help a little. Ruth From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Ricky Joe Cook Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 5:11 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: Calculating BMI Ruth, thanks for the encouragement! To be honest I'm extremely scared of putting back on those pounds and am trying like heck to avoid the really bad carbs for me which are potatoes and white rice. With the depression and living with a non diabetic who likes lots of carbs its really hard to stick to a no or low carb diet. I only work part time and am on disability so don't have a lot of money for a separate food budget just for me. Its really hard to shop because I have to coax my room mate away from things and a few times he has just gotten totally pissed at me. Its even gotten so bad that I've been thinking of living but on my income that's an unrealistic option. Ricky Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
