MRC Weigh In
 

My dear friend and host mom (long story) goes to he Metabolic Research Center for her health needs. Yesterday she wanted to go right after we worked out and I told her I didn't mind going with her so she could be on time. When it was her turn to go in, she said I could go back with her so I did. I observed the interaction between her and her director and then they went to weigh her. Gina told me I should come see the really cool tanita scale they have. When she was finished the lady (Suzie) asked me if I wanted to be weighed and I was like, "Ummm not really but it looks cool so I'll try it". It printed out a little receipt and here is what I learned.
I am 41% hydrated - most people are 20% or less and women my age are supposed to be at 45% - She was very impressed.
111.25 lbs of my weight is "good" stuff like water, muscle, organs, etc. I'm more than 50% good - hooray!!!
And because I'm such an athletic build my goal weight should actually only be between 140-160; not 125 that the government standards say for my height.
I don't know if any of you are in the area of a Metabolic Research Center but you should call and see if you can have a tanita read for free to better determine what your "situation" actually is. It was very encouraging and has gotten my excitement rejuvenated! :carrot:
