Bod Pod
Sep 19, 2011
Well, My BMI is now 39.9 which means I am obese. Not extreme morbidly obese, not morbidly obese, just obese.I started this process with a BMI of 50. This is very exciting.
Last week I went to the local university that has a bod pod. For $25 they measure your lean body weight and your fat body weight. The guy gave me some pointers on excercise, diet, # of calories, etc. but the information is really geared towards a person with a normal stomach. But anyway knowing my lean body weight helped me to realize where my goal weight should be when I get to the 22% - 30% body fat % that is normal for women.
I think I will go back in a few months and see if my lean body weight has increased. That will tell me how my exercise and resistance training are going.
