BWLW Facebook Member and Dating Blogger Kitty has gone from 186 down to 157.
She says, “If the BMI Mass Index was developed in a Caucasian context… and It is less accurate in non-white populations…why do doctors use this same index on minorities knowing that it is inaccurate? How can minorities fight the war on obesity if there is not even a scale to assess our body fat properly? …..Leading minorities to strive for something that wasn’t designed FOR US… because doing so would definitely be enough to cause discouragement..
So if your feeling down, simply because your doctor keep saying your overweight or obese..do your own research and make sure…my peak weight was 186 ..i am now 154 and technically i’m still considered “obese/overweight” It took 5 months to get where i am…i first learned healthy portions and nutrition before i started working out. I hate the gym so i made walking and daily goal and apart of my life style that i don’t notice it….anyway clearly I believe if I lose any more weight I will look hungry and have the lollipop head but bigger then that my bone structure is not built for weight of 120..it is what it is lol :)”
