BMI

Three posts in one day! More than the number on the scale, Dr Walton and Dr Broussard (the other doctor in the practice who assisted with my surgery) monitor BMI. There are several different BMI scales. I added one to the bottom of the page below my BMI ticker. The one Dr Walton uses is slightly different putting me currently in the obese area, versus the morbidly obese as shown here. Of course, I like Dr Walton's better! I also added an element where you can calculate your own BMI, in case you are interested. Once a goal weight is reached calories are adjusted to prevent excess additional loss -- usually by adding large amounts of protein. Funny how our bodies work -- right now keeping my protein up will help me lose weight and later it will help me to stop losing.
