BMI, or body mass index, is a system of measurement that helps a patient figure out how overweight he or she is. A BMI of 20 to 25 is considered normal. 25 to 30 is considered overweight. 30.1 to 34.9 is considered obese. You are a candidate for weight loss surgery if your BMI is 40 or greater or if you have a BMI between 35 and 39.9 along with a serious health problem.
"I thought I was a pretty happy fat person. Hiding behind my jokes and laughter, I did not know how much my weight controlled my life. I never knew what true happiness was until I had my surgery. Some people don't like to tell people when they have had weight loss surgery but I tell everyone because I feel everyone deserves to be this happy!"

Lose it!
By pkatekaru on February 17, 2009 at 12:42 pm
So… I was introduced to a great application on the Iphone, it’s called Lose it!. I have been using it for about 3 days now and believe it or not it is working very well for my lifestlye. I always have my phone with me and the application tool is soooo easy to use. Everything I am eating is listed under the search engine, this includes restaurants and many named brand products from the grocery store. One of the great things about it is that it analyzes all the food so you know how much protein,fat,carbohydrates, sodium and calories you have taken in for the day. It allows you to set goals and it will calculate your daily caloric needs and a specific date to reach your goal weight. It also has an exercise component on it. I found out I can burn more calories per hour by vaccuming instead of walking, who knew? The program is very streamlined and easy to use so I invite you to try it. I am told that Accountability is the number one indicator for successful weight loss. Stay tuned for my next blog to see how diligent I am about keeping the journal.
