Great website. The other ones always depress me. According to this one, I have 11 lbs to lose to be in the normal weight range and anything else I lose will be a bonus. Thanks -- you made my day!

I lost 3 lbs since the weekend before Halloween and would like to lose 5 more (ambitious) before Thanksgiving for my high school reunion.

That website is VERY motivating because it's realistic...

okay, I just did the ideal weight calculation. It says I need to lose 20 pounds. But the least is 10. which is correct? I think 20.

just a tidbit of info for sowell wenches only: I'm having ankle surgery, finally, in January. I need to get into shape and be as healthy as I can be going into surgery (please give me motivation now to eat right and continue to exercise). Then I'll be on crutches for 3 months, non-weight bearing, and exercise is gonna be very limited. But, Bridgette is going to come up with some private pilates/yoga stuff to help keep moving after surgery to the extent that I can. Just letting you know this - because I will be on this thread asking for motivation from now on !!! :biggrin: believe me, I'll be happy to get this done and get on with it.
 
Toots, there is NO WAY you are 20 lbs overweight. You are tiny. I am sorry you are going to have to have surgery but we will be here for you and we will crack the whip when you feel it is time. Just don't over eat and you will be fine.

You do not have to lose 20 pounds. I looked at the same site and I'm happy to take the high end of the weight which says I need to lose 10 lbs to be in the healthy range, and it sounds like you should take the 10 pounds as correct. You looked great when I last saw you. The main thing seems to be to do what it takes to take care of that ankle. Sounds like it will be hard for you to chase spidey around for a while. Is your husband going to serve you healthy snacks while you aren't able to get around? We can all post our recommendations -- e.g., blueberries or bananas in lowfat yogurt with splenda would be a great snack. There are also some great low-cal ice cream treats for about 40 calories or less.

I read in Oprah magazine last night (or one of the many magazines I get -- I think of them as my relaxation and life therapy), if a person does exercise worth just 100 more calories a day, she would lose 10 lbs at the end of a year. Same goes for eating just 100 fewer calories a day. I thought that was pretty inspirational.
