Check Out My Measurements!!!
Posted on 04/01/08, 06:43 pm
So in the smoking community we Count Our Stats! How about putting down our measurements and watching the numbers go DOWN! I'm too shy to put my weight but I think maybe I'd put down the measurements, what do you think?

I think that would be a good idea. We could also include BMI. It is easy to calculate and can be a good indicator of how we are doing. -

Not to sound stupid but what is BMI???? -

Not a stupid question. BMI is body mass index. It's a calculation that people use to figure out if they are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. There are lots of bmi calculators on the internet - there's one at nhlbisupport.com, which runs through the National Institute of Health. If you lose weight, your bmi number changes. -

Well Ladies and Gent I did it, I joined CURVES this morning and was measured and weighed and such and have an apt with a trainer on Wednesday, (too busy tomorrow) and I am feeling really motivated and good about this decision! My goal is very attainable and the woman said with my body fat ect I should have no problem meeting that goal within 3 to 7 months! The goal included the 10 pounds I wanted to loose prior to the 20 I gained with my quit....I AM GOING TO LOOSE THIRTY POUNDS!!!! How's that for positive a affirmation! -

Awesome decision to joining the gym ladies!!! :-) I belong to a 24 hour fitness. I like it because I can go anytime I want. I was trying to go first thing in the morning (around 3:30-4am) but it was killing me. Lately I've been going at night and it's been helping me okay. We'll see how it goes though. -
