Interesting BMI calculator uses male/female/age



Recommended Posts

Thanks for sharing -- it's interesting, after looking at both of them, I still think that my initial goal of 165 (I'm 5'9", age 46) is about right -- the initial BMI calculator put me at 183 (which is the preferred weight for average people) which I think is WAY too high, but put the preferred weight for my husband at 162 (we're the same height) -- 20 pounds more for a woman!! I think I'm just sticking with getting into normal BMI territory -- otherwise it becomes too confusing :lol:

Cool! Thanks for posting. My dr. recommended weight is 150 (I'm 5'6") and the fun one said 175 (which is exactly what I weighed in H.S.) I can't even picture myself at 150lbs. I think I was about 15 years old last time I weighed that.

But as I've been telling people, I didn't do surgery to go half-way to goal, or 3/4 way to goal...I DO want to get to goal and have that healthy BMI. Just gotta stick to it!

OK ... this "may" quality for a NSV. I"m in the 10% percentile for height, weight, and age. WOW!!! Need to try the fun one next.

Awesome!!!

Actually, it helps put things in perspective for me. I keep thinking that maybe I should go for 125 since I have a small frame & still have some "bad" areas. Though, I've heard from others that I may be mistaking fat for excess skin - not sure on that one.

Definitely made me feel good today!

It's a snow day here in Western Washington. I'm telecommuting in my sweats - LOVE IT!

It told me at my goal weight of 145 (thats my personal keep it curvy goal) I am still in the 50th percentile. If I wanted to be in the 10% I would have to weigh like 115 pounds. YIKES. lol

I think I still have curves (just no boobs or butt - nice little "pooch" though. I guess it's because I'm in my 40's that my percentile is so low. :o

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
