    FYI the BMI scale is the worst tool in the tool box. It was invented by the insurance industry in order to assist in rate configuration. My trainer is on the shorted side and is like 7% body fat, but the BMI chart calls him morbidly obese. It only uses hight and weight but is indiscriminate as to whether or not that weight is lean body mass or fat. Your physician should help you set healthy goals, not the insurance company dogs.

I know all to well how hard it is to stay focused on yourself long enough to loose weight when you have a busy life and family depending on you

    Hi! I also have 100lbs to lose! I just joined today but I've been trying to lsoe weight since April. I know how hard it is to have no support at home. I have 2 girls and a husband who cooks extremely well, although he doesn't cook on the healthy side. I've been going to Zumba at the gym as my exercise and I really like it. Now, if I could find the magic mix for food, I'd be killing it. Unfortunately, I like to eat. lol! Welcome to MFP!

    Hi, I am definitely in a similiar boat. I have only 1 child, but while I was pregnant gained a total of 80lbs! That was almost 14 years ago. I am not by any means lazy. I am a private school teacher, and pretty much stay busy during the summer with camps, vbs, and other various projects. I have always been heavy, every since I was a teenager. I have just have always had a hard time getting the weight off. My plan is to join curves in the next couple of weeks, when I have the money, and to start getting in some early morning walks with my dogs. I don' really have quite so much to lose, but I need to lose at least 50-60 obs. I really believe that will put me at a good healthy weight. I would love to have some new friends and support to help me through this, Lord, knows I will need it! :bigsmile:
