15 Pounds

[FAMOUS1 29]

I'm so excited 15 pounds to go . However my bmi is still at 30%, why? So this week Im gonna run and hit the weights real hard. So with my bmi so high should I change my goal. 30% of my body is still fat, that is not sitting right in my head. I'm 5'4 and weigh 153. Does anyone have this problem? Also I'm having a lot of Hair loss, what can I do for that? Thanks

Are you getting enough Protein? I think you have to get around 60 grams a day.

You need a minimum of 60 grams of Protein a day. I take Biotin for my Hair loss and it helps. Even my eyelashes have gotten a little thicker with the Biotin!!

I just started taking Biotin yesterday, I've heard good things about it.

My daughter has very fine/thin hair and she takes Biotin. It does work. I think after about 3 weeks she could really start seeing a difference so it also worked rather quickly. (She hasn't had any surgery; just thin hair.)

OP ~ If my calculations are correct, your BMI is currently 26.4 (not 30). WHEN you lose that other 15 pounds, that should put you at 138 pounds and your BMI will be 23.7!

Keep going and you WILL get that other 15 pounds off and I can't WAIT until I'm in the 150's!

25-31% body fat for women is normal. BMI and body fat are two different numbers.
