Sorry I have been MIA lately--busy during the holidays! To answer a previous question, BMI is Body Mass Index. There are some scales and machines that measure this. It basically tells you how much of your body mass is Fat.
The point I was really trying to make was not to focus on #'s so much.....this includes weight and body mass. If she goes to the doctor routinely (and she will for lab work if she starts taking metformin again), they will weigh her during her appointments. This is enough to measure progress--those people who take daily weights are creating more self-esteem problems that good, IMO.
The daily focus should be on positive things: how to eat well, and getting in some exercise.
Looks like you're getting a lot of good advice here. Just curious if you're planning on talking to your wife about this site? |
