Tutoring math, numbers are always interesting. The tutor shares some findings about “healthy” weight loss.<\/h1>\n

About two months ago I concluded that, for the purpose of a sport I’m in, I should lose 15 to 20 pounds. From 177 pounds, that would put me between 157 and 162.<\/p>\n

The idea of losing 20lbs I found daunting; I felt good at 177lbs. I knew I’d have to go hungry; at the current exercise level I wasn’t losing weight. I found myself asking, “Is it safe to go from 177 to 157lbs?”<\/p>\n

I searched the net and quickly found the nih<\/a>. It indicates that a healthy bmi is between 18.5 and 24.9, and offers to calculate yours. All it asks is the user’s height and weight.<\/p>\n

I entered my digits and found my bmi, at 177lbs, to be a surprising 24. Then I entered my same height with weight 150lbs. The utility stated that my bmi would be 20.3, still well above 18.5.<\/p>\n

With that confirmation that it would be safe to do so, I went ahead with my weight loss plan; I’m at 165 right now.<\/p>\n

I’ll be talking more about bmi and weight loss:)<\/p>\n
