[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2414206, member: 365308"] My weight is a state secret and I don't even know it. I do not want to be made miserable by a number that doesn't really have much to do with my type 1 diabetic health. I am about 65-70kg at 5'4 but wear a smaller dress size than less muscular friends who weigh less. I had to give up being weight focused and instead its now all about quality of the food I eat, plus exercise and minus the sugar and carb. That keeps me on an even keel and I then have to accept my body the way it turns out knowing I eat well 90% of the time. As a trainer I try to get people to focus on other more reliable measures of health such as waist size, visceral fat or just feeling good in their clothes (not the jogging bottoms that we've been wearing for the last year). I get it is a way to keep yourself in check and is easy to do so keeps you 'safe' in yoru good habits or accountable for your bad ones maybe? Just doesn't work for me and seems to distract my clients weight too much! [/QUOTE]
