    BMI 25! Down from 29.6 in January. But then I have lost 30# since then.

    I tried to do it, but it wouldn't let me put America, or United States of America in the country field, so I needed to lie and chose Sweden instead. But these online things never account for variations in a person's bone structure or body shape, they would judge my friend Heather and I, for example, by the same standards because we are the same height, but I am big-boned, and she is very fine-boned. If we were both skeletons, her ribcage would fit inside mine and not even touch the edges, and my collarbone is probably about 4 inches wider than hers. I weigh more than I should, and need to lose weight I know, but height and age don't account for nearly enough!

    For me, it didn't like USA, but did accept United States.

    Just try typing in U or Un and United States will show up with a few others.

    We are alike in that we are big boned with larger skeletal frames. Even when HWP I had to buy larger blouses so that they would fit my shoulders. Or couldn't wear bangles since they wouldn't fit over my slender hands.

    One odd thing: my hands are still slender from all those years of piano practice.
