Congrats on the weight loss and shaving the 'stache. Lookin' good.

I can do it... and I plan on doing it. Ann, I would LOVE to be there in April. Let me see what I can arrange. I can't be there for a week. But I'm sure I can do a long weekend.

Today they were going to EPCOT for the day.

Originally Posted By sherrytodd But you look very thin and healthy. Have you ever had your body fat measured? BMI is only one measurement. If you exercise, you may have a higher muscle and lower body fat which would increase your BMI but would not be unhealthy. Regardless. You're looking good. Keep up the good work!

Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom I really appreciate everyones input. It just shows you what happens when you post in a public forum. Everyone has a lot of imput and information to offer. I agree that BMI is only ONE measurement of body fat. And yes it may not be accurate as it doesn't take into consideration muscle mass. As of yet I have NOT had a body fat measurement done. I will do this later in the month when I join a gym and get a trainer. As for diet. I am eating low fat yogurt for breakfast. For much I have a tuna fish sandwich ( made with non-fat mayo ). For dinner I typically will have a frozen weight watchers meal. I want to keep the protein up and the veggies up. I am trying to cut back on carbs. I ONLY drink water. Well except for the glass of diet Coke in the AM. I have a very active outside job. So I'm defiantely not sitting around all day. I want to join the gym basically for muscle toning and cardio benefits. No I am not a fire fighter. I am a lineman for my local phone company. A female friend who was visiting Salem, MA got me that tee shirt. I actaully wore that one year to WDW for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. I was dressed as a fireman. I posted a few pictures in motorcyle gear for some motorcycle buddys of mine. It was easier to just post them to that site than to send in individual emails. I really can't wait to join a gym. They are opening a new gym right down the street from me. I was hoping it would be open by January 1st, but maybe by the end of this month they will be open.
