my home scale has a BMI calculator on it ( i know that's not super accurate, but i was reading last night and if you don't know what you're doing w/ the calipers you can get readings that are WAY off)...anyway, it said i have a BMI of 23...but ALL the BMI charts and calculators online that only go by height and weight say that i have a BMI of like 29 or 30...thus making me pretty overweight. i've always been more muscular...right now i'm probably in the second worst shape i've ever been in...even that "ideal weight" calculator says i should be around 120-124...yeah right! i would LOVE to be 140! i was about 140 when i met my husband, and i was in the best shape of my life! dancing 4 nights a week and eating fairly well and counting calories...so the ideal weight calculator isn't so accurate either. i don't think i've been 120 since i was like 16 and running or doing PT twice a week in JROTC and playing tennis. i naturally have a more muscular build. i'm 5'4" and about 165 now (a year after having my daughter). i've never had a problem building muscle, but i've always hated cardio! so burning fat is an issue for me and takes a LONG time, but once i get it off i do a pretty good job at keeping it off w/out having to be on any strict diets.
