   I was wondering just how much I am supposed to weigh, so I looked it up online.  According to http://www.healthdiscovery.net/links/calculators/ideal_bw_wo men.htm , I should be 120 lbs.  HAHAHA!!  You're kidding, right?   I am currently 144 - 146ish and I am a size 4.  If I lost another 24 lbs, I might actually become see-through.  (Yes, see through.. as in "Mom.. there's a lady standing in front of the candy rack, but it's ok, because I can still see the Skittles through her tummy.  Also, how come she has no butt??)

    I'm just sayin'.

 Well, I know that there are plenty of BEAUTIFUL women out there that look great at 120.  I also know that, for me, losing 4 lbs makes a difference between a size 6 and a size 4.  So, based on that ... losing 24 or so more pounds would make me a size.... negative 4.  =]  Ok, probably not.. but, I hate to think that after all this work, I still have like another 24 lbs to lose before I'm where I should be.

Yeah, I am a negative 4, also known as a size 12 in children's clothes.  Not fun.  I buy my underwear in the children's department and I got disturbed when my boyfriend was turned on seeing me in my Hello Kittie panties.  That is just wrong.

It says I should weigh 115 lbs, give or take 10%, which would put be between 103.5 to 126.5.  Ironically, I am close to the bottom weight and I look like ****  I would look much better at 126.5 or even 135.  Many people who have been morbidly obese have denser bones due to the necessity of carrying all that extra weight.  That is why a person who has been morbidly obese looks smaller at a higher weight then someone who has never been overweight.

It says I should weigh 117.  I'm thinking of 130.  I think I'd look a bit gaunt at 117 if I could even achieve it.

The number that came out on the top was 125 which doesn't match with any of the numbers on the chart below which has different body frames. The lowest number there is 137. So I think we are missing something with this "tool".
