wk17.04.29.2012 – 249 lbs

2nd week under 250 – but it was a struggle. I’m bored with salads and my alternative isn’t as healthy. I’m eating a lot of soup lately which is starting to get boring too.

Its not that this “diet” doesn’t have a lot of options – its that I have no idea how to make them. There are several restaurants that sell junk food but healthy food is more difficult to come by. I did find a “my fit foods” store this week and picked up two dishes of veggie chili.

See you next week…

Is it time for a new BodPod test?

I’ve often said my first goal in weight loss was to lose the “morbid” descriptor from my obese title. Using a standard BMI calculator, I’ve accomplished this goal. At 5’9″ and 249 lbs, my BMI is ~37. Morbid obesity is defined at above 40 BMI.

BUT – I’m not a fan of BMI. I prefer a body fat percentage test like that one I’ve gotten from the BodPod in the past. Its been a while and I think the lowest I ever weighed when I was doing those test regularly was somewhere in the low 280′s.

I’ll see if I can find the company I used to do the BodPod testing through before and keep you posted…
