Sitting pretty at 144 down from a high this year of 152 which on my 5'4 frame is heavy! The BMI charts aren't the most accurate, because if you lift weights and have a decent amount of muscle on you, you will weigh more, thus increasing your BMI. What matters MORE are your measurements, ESPECIALLY in the abdominal area. But BMI is a good measurement for the average american - just not for body builders or athletes with muscle :-p My BMI is 25, it has improved from 27 a few months ago but I’m still “overweight”.

The more we put this info out there, the better off everyone will be. Sometimes (well actually all the time) I wonder why this isn't on the top of all the news media and primetime journalism shows? We are a little bassackwards as a nation aren't we? Nice (and necessary) post. The more we put this info out there, the better off everyone will be.

I wonder how many people who are obese are so in part to the influx of bizarre diet/health messages we get? I also wonder how the economy has affected this- partly due to the cost (partly misconceptions) about healthier food options (ie, compare what's on the McDonalds $1 menu to the cost of a McDonalds salad) but partly due to the impact stress has on eating/exercise habits.

It disappoints me so much to live in the 2nd most obese state, Alabama. I hope the future is more promising.
