I'm normal!

I was told that because I'm weight training and building muscle, that I can't use BMI to determine if I'm normal weight or not. A body builder is considered obese based on BMI because per square inch, muscles weighs more than fat. A better measurement for me would be body fat percentage. I had my body fat percentage calculated. An average American female has a body fat percentage of 32%. "Normal" and acceptable range is 24-31%. My body fat is 29%. WOOHOO! I also have a new goal weight based on lean body mass. My goal weight is 158 lbs. 13 lbs to go! WOOHOO!

congratulations, Great job, keep up the good work. love marie
