More accurate is Body Fat %....determine your body fat %, then how much of that % is above the normal range, then convert the % of Body fat to pounds and that would be the amount of weight you need to loose.....

According to BMI's, etc, I am still considered overweight based on my Height ans weight....BUT according to the Total Body Analysis, my Body Fat% is withing the "FIT" Range, bordering on "Athletic"

BMI Charts say I need to loose another 10 lbs....Body Fat % says there is not 10lbs available....other than loosing muscle mass, and that would be an extremely unhealthy process......

Many people on this website complain about loosing that last 10 lbs, etc...they should determine if that last 10 lbs is really excess fat or not....

Thank you for that info!

I know how to get my BMI, but is there a calculator for the rest? Figuring those things out tends to twist my mind in knots.

Im always amazed at the BMI results and what is considered over weight, obese, and morbidly obese.

At work we had a health fair and every person who went came back with a BMI saying they are overweight....and some obese as well! But looking at them, that is a description I would consider.

If there is no calculator that you know of, can you please send the mathematical formula to follow?

Thank you very much! I love accuracy!

18% is nothing to sneeze at!!! Good job! And it WILL be more.

It's so fun to see the weight go down and the percentage lost go UP!

Keep it up :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
