Realistic Ideal Body Weight Body Calculator

IMHO this site is really worth the time to check it out. I really like the calculator and the updated information. Lot's of information tucked away in the links and etc. Hope you all find it useful also! http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm

Hi Tammy, Thanks for the site info. I love calculator thingies and could sit and play with them all day lol. Oh, while I'm thinking of it, I have been watching a new store in the works since last summer in Oxford, called Redner's Warehouse Market..it's in the shopping center next to Burger King ( just before you cross 896 ) There is an ad in today's Whig that says they are having an open house Tuesday the 16th from 6-9 PM with grand opening Wednesday the 17th at 8AM. They will be open 24/7 too! Supposedly 40% off retail prices shopping there and no membership required. Thought you might want to know since it's not far. Linda

I happened by there yesterday ... Don't know why I was thinking it was more like a department store ... but it appears it is a grocery. Either way, I certainly am looking forward to checking it out. Thanks for the heads up Linda!!! I didn't even have a clue that anything was going on in that area!!! BTW - did you know that they turned the old Ames into a furniture warehouse also? See I told you guys that I don't get out shopping much ... but that has all been changing lately!!! Now I just need to start to broaden my shopping horizons to include something in addition to walmart and goodwill!!!

I had no idea about the furniture place! lol, if it weren't for Goodwill and Walmart I'd be soooo naked..and that's just...well..scary When you're on your shopping excursions give Boscov's a try. They have the most wonderful sales! Always try to sneak a peek at the clearance racks there too. I have bought items a season behind in anticipation of wearing them later when they fit. So far I've been lucky.

Cool site Tam, according to that site - based on where I started, I am below the peoples choice goal weight!! woohoo!! But I still miles away from where the medical recommendation falls... ((hugs)) Carla

Hey Carla, I am below also ... and it made me feel GREAT to see I was below something!!! AND made some kind of goal!!! And as far as the medical recommendations go ... they said they are outdated. So as far as I am concerned ... we have bypassed goal. Sound good to you??? Works for me - today anyway!!! Hugs, Tammy

Tammy, Neat site, but depressing. I'm not even near the ideal weight. I think I need to go on a diet. haha...that's likely... Guess I'll check out some of these diet magazines on the way home. Rob

Rob, That really surprises me ... must be that the guys were a bit harder on themselves than the women were??? I would have expected the women to be a bit harder on themselves when it came to weight issues. Just goes to show you, I have so much yet to learn in life. At any rate ... step away from the diets !!! YOU my friend have done a awesome job!!! No need for any additional weight loss from you - remember, you have been elevated to the position of weight loss support person!!! Seriously, you have done a tremendous job, and I am so very proud of you and happy for you! BUT I know that even a wonderful weight loss support person like yourself needs support also. And this part is so much harder than I ever expected on one hand and yet so much easier on the other ... so if you are finding the same thing ... perhaps there is "safety" in numbers? We can all help keep each other away from the diet mags and miracle cures and just continue on this path we have been following? And hopefully we will all end up somewhere around the place where we are satisfied with our physical bodies on top of being healthier? BTW Rob, I am actually getting there ... although it bums me somewhat, as I want to lose more ... I am starting to become comfortable in my skin now. First time in my life I think. And it is feeling good! REAL good! Hope I can say the same thing tomorrow!!! Your struggling, but getting there budette, Tammy
