yesterday was interesting ..

So I am working on the 3 month program that is needed for my insurance to pay for the lap band. The sports Physiologist, and nutritionist I am working with thought we should get a better reading of where I am starting from so yesterday I did a BOD POD test. (www.bodpod.com (http://www.bodpod.com/))

I was a little shocked by the numbers, but they are what they are. Any my sports Physiologist, and nutritionist use the numbers to correct my diet and set goals.
% fat 53.4
% fat free mass 46.6

fat mass 165.5
fat free mass 144.3

body mass 309.9

RMR ( resting metabolic rate) 1993

A women minimal "essential body fat" range is between 12 - 15 % just to be healthy. And I have a 144.3 lbs of skin,bones, and other non fat body mass, my goal bmi is 25 % which should be about 175 - 180 lbs. So my goal is to loose about 129 lbs.

Pretty cool. I get little printouts from my doctor every time I weigh. It is really cool to see how much fat you are actually losing each time.

we are going to test in the BOD POD about every 6 weeks to see the difference. I am really excited about it

It's nice to have a baseline to start with. You will be able to see how much you've changed over 3 months. Good luck!!
