After today's weigh-in, I thought I'd research what the world considers the right weight to be for women. This is what I found. (proof that I am indeed overweight---Yippee [insert major eye rolling])

A healthy back means a happier body. Your spine is linked to every part of

hey girlie! how are you doing? thank you for my comment! yes we had a ton of fun and i'm sorry, i didn't even think of inviting more people. it was kind of a random thing.
if you're going to be at the hallelujah party tonight, i will be dressed as a cheerleader again. i need to get some red face stuff to make a big U on my face since i am a union cheerleader and alex is a union football player. anyhow we need to hang out soon, i am tired of saying that and us not doing something about it..... call me sometime, or i might call you.
talk to you soon,

Yea, but these charts are never accurate or account for "muscle". If you workout a lot, and have more muscle than the average person, then it will say you are overweight.
The nurse's usually tell me I must be underweight, but then I step on the scale and they can't believe that I am at the top of my healthy weight range. "Muscle weighs more!"
When I was a personal trainer I used to have people "guess" my weight. No one ever believed how much I actually weighed, so I would get on the scales and show them...then they would be like "wow!" and I would tell them it isn't about a number on the scale, it is how you look and feel!It seemed to help them overcome their own personal fear of the scales.
The scale is your friend...it helps you keep your weight in check. I weigh once per week, so that I can make sure my weight never gets away from me. If I notice it going up a few pounds, I just make sure I'm working out and that I am not over-eating. (If I know I've been eating bad, or too much, I just say -No more seconds, or desserts until it comes back down). :)
I did the google search on your chart. Did you notice that at the bottom it says Metropolitian Life Insurance Company of 1983? That is way too outdated to take that seriously I think. And it's like 5 pounds difference for you, JEN, That is NOT Overweight!!!!
