Oh my goodness!! I just entered my weight/height in the BMR calculator and I am 24.9, NORMAL, barely. ;-)

At my goal weight, which is 5'1" and 125 pounds, I will be at a BMR of 23.6, which at 56 I think I can maintain!!!

So, share with me what your current and goal BMR's are!!

Here is one calculator, if you are interested:

And for those that don't follow BMR charts, or don't like them, I understand. Just curious where people fall.

    My BMI*** is currently 27.5 (I'm 5'3 and 155lbs.) and my goal BMI would be 23 (130lbs.).

    But I hate BMI.
    Tracking your body fat percentage is more accurate. For me, I can have an overweight BMI and be well into a healthy body fat percentage range depending on how much muscle I've added from strength training.

    26.7...supposedly I'm pretty overweight. I prefer BF%. Also, I'm at a perfectly healthy BF% and waist size...BMI is irrelevant for me. Congrats though. I'm still definitely a work in progress here.
