How many non sequiturs are IN this one anyway?
9 comments on How many non sequiturs are IN this one anyway?This comment came in reply to my review of my review of Health At Every Size: I personally belive that living a comfortable life is a way to longevity, so if you believe that you are over-weight, have the determination to loose the extra fat you dont want, you can do it and never loose […]

100th Post :)
Looking at my WordPress “dashboard” on Monday, I noticed that there has been over 300 approved (non-spam) comments. Also that I’d had 99 posts. So this is the hundredth post. :) Thanks for reading and commenting! Some other little factoids from the dashboard: 10 most viewed pages/posts: about the author & the blog Life […]

What will I do when I lose weight?
Sparkpeople is a weight loss/fitness site I used it for a while, sometimes tracking food and exercise, other times just tracking exercise. There’s message boards, articles, et cetera.

In context
BMI doesn’t tell you much, but it does tend to show a bell-style curve over a large population. The chart at right, showing population distribution of BMIs from Mississippi in 2003, (source) gives you a rough idea. My BMI is about 60. That chart? Doesn’t even show anyone of BMI 60. The official definition of “obese” […]
