Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Awesome news, ! :-) I'm so proud of you. I was wondering when your check-up was for. I weigh in tonight for my monthly weigh-in and my quarterly body fat testing at the gym. So I'll have body fat numbers and weights tonight. I'll let you know.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Thanks ! I'm so happy :-) Can't wait to hear from you about yours. I don't do monthly weigh ins, too scared to look at the scale. I'll just stick to my doctor's appointments although my next one is in three months! I guess I won't be able to wait that long but who knows. Can't wait to hear how your stats have changed. It's exciting to think that we've embarked on this incredible journey and have nothing to gain and everything to lose (big pun here!) isn't it?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 The other one calculates the same thing just allows you to imput your height in cm instead of inches. But the readout will be the same. You don't need to apologize I finished college and still wouldn't be able to convert off the top of my head. I have tons of questions, and have learned it is better to ask then not ask. To get to a normal weight size for your height the bmi calculator says you need to be between 157 and 118. To get into a overweight range you need to be between 190 to 157. Anything over the 190 is considered to be obese. I hope this helps, ask if you have anymore questions!!! Anytime!!!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 You will soon be on the loosing side!!! Thanks so much for the congrats. I hate being so close to under 200 for some reason. I know the day I hit 199 I will be celebrating. Wierd I know, I am more excited about that then when I hit 189 which is my 100 pound loss. The first time I had to go to the docter and they didn't have to move the top of the scale to the 250 slot was nice but when they don't have to slide it over to the 200 I will be dancing I will probablly be in Iowa when you are having your surgery. Every year we go to the state fair and that is also my best friends bday who lives in IA. Although going to the state fair wont be as fun this year because we used to eat our way through it, our main reason for going lol pathetic I know. But I am hoping next month to be close to being under 200! You will be suprised at how fast you loose. This sat. is my 30th bday and is also my 3 month anniv from having this surgery. And I couldn't have asked for a better gift then this!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hi, Deb ... At my gym they use a machine with four electrodes (kinda of like for the EKG) that are attached to your hand (two of them) and your feet (two of them). Then you input your age, height, current weight and it somehow measures the electrical impulses and that gives you a reading. It spits out a little paper with the results. At my WLS surgeon's office, they have a scale with panels on it that send the same electrical impulses. It's a more accurate scale because it measures lean body mass, fat mass and water mass each separately. We had a support group meeting last night and I reweighed (didn't know it was part of the support group process) and I was at 215!!! That's 29 pounds gone. :-) New Orleans, Louisiana 244/215/150 " Debora A.Kroll " wrote: Can Anyone HELP Me.I sorry to ask a dumb question again.Well I'm dumb founded of the Body mass info How do you know what your is?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Deb, Don't sell yourself short about smarts. I have a Master's degree and I live in Canada and I can't figure out cm either. The only thing I can figure out is that there are 28 gms to an ounce and that is because centuries ago I smoked pot and that is the figure I knew about. My former mother in law never had a high school diploma but she read anything and everything and she was one of the brightest people I know. You're computer literate. That counts for something:- )If you want to check out your BMI go to this site: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 My chart puts you at a body mass of 56/57. There is a chart you can get from your Dr. Talk to you latter.
