    Here is a BMI chart for those of you that want to save weight and inches the cheapest way.

    Body Mass Index (BMI) Chart is typically used by professionals to give you a quick indication of your body weight status. BMI is calculated as follows:
    BMI = weight in kilograms/(height in meters squared) OR
    BMI = (weight in pounds/(height in inches squared ))x 703
    For example: if your weight is 160 pounds, and your height is 68 inches (5 feet and 8 inches), then your BMI will be
    BMI = ((160/68*68)) * 703 = 24.32

    BMI Chart / Height Weight Chart

    I'm on a diet since the wife is. I am 5'4 at 218 lbs. I WANT to be at 150? I just got on phentermine to help kick start the weight loss. (Yes, it is prescribed) All comes down to wanting to look good for me but for my wife as well.

    Lighter me = Faster Miata

    My wife started her diet and healthy habits long before I did. It made it easier. She lost more than I did and has kept it off for 2 years now. It's just easier when you have someone to share the trials and tribulations of this. Recently saw some family we haven't seen in 3 to 6 years. They were flabbergasted when they saw us. That felt good. Also had a friend post some pics of his trip to Cali from '07 when he visited us. We look like completely different people compared to then.

    My BMI is a solid 20. My car's BMI is probably similar. Still whittling.
    95 in pieces, but good pieces.

    4TH day in and I am now 208 lbs! F$%! YEAH! Slowly but surely this crap is coming off. Just watching portion control, exercise, and cooking food from home. Man, I really hope I can make it to my goal. Medicine is still keeping me amped and eating less. Gearing up for second!!!

    Hey everybody. Seems the topic died down but after a week, I am down to 204. BADA$$ I wont report back for awhile but thought I'd let you know that these meds work. Taught me how to eat and portion control.

    Well, lighter me = faster miata.
