Hi all;

I've just had SO much going on (not all of it good, but certainly better now) and couldnt get to the board. So much happened while I was away! During my time I:

1. Didnt work out like I should have,

2. Figured out my BMI (that was depressing...). Anyone else done this Body Mass Index check? Mine is too high, and of course I knew this, but to see the numbers really was a tough love kind of thing...reality can be motivating.

3. picked up a really good book called "The Nutritional Bible" (very good so far, very informative),

4. Subscribed to a newsletter put out by Readers Digest and have recieved some really good recipies for heart healthy, weight concious snacks that I'll share in another post.

Thats really it for me. Glad to be back!

:)

I am glad that you made it back! Hopefully things will settle down now and you can get back to working out and posting on the board.


If you are talking about the BMI where they actually test your fat with the calibers I have done that, but it's been a couple of years.

Good to see you back Mia....hopefully things will settle somewhat and you can get back to a more normal schedule.


I've done a BMI test too, but only online, and I think Darcy's point about those kind of tests not being accurate is right. Although I do know my BMI is higher than it should be, it would be interesting to get it done 'for real' to compare the two.

I agree completely with you both, I should do the whole "professional BMI test" and compare the two. I can probobly get that done at my gym. Im going to find out and perhaps get it done, then post the results (and differences) here on the board. That will be interesting....
