Do you know your Body Mass Index?
Do you know your BMI? Do you even know what BMI is? It is Body Mass Index, a measurement used to help determine if you are a healthy weight or not. My BMI is 23. That is “appropriate.” That means that even though I’ve been concerned about Weight Loss because my knees hurt my doctor would tell me that I am not overweight. So that is a relief, knowing that I’m not overweight, but I would still like to lose a little bit of weight – maybe ten pounds. Simply because my knees hurt.
To be honest when I look in the mirror at my body, I like what I see. And my hubby likes what he sees too! But I’ve tried exercising my knees, they just plain and simple hurt when I weigh this much. That is a real drag because I really don’t want to be counting calories and trying to lose weight. And I already know that a program of exercise won’t help me lose weight because muscle weighs more than fat! The last time I took exercise classes trying to lose weight I actually gained weight! Has that ever happened to you? Doing all of that hard work just to gain weight, when your goal was to lose weight?
