I've heard of BMI calculators. What is this and what do they do?
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a way to calculate weight and height. If you've ever done a BMI calculation, it will ask for your weight, height and gender. This is good way to gauge how "fat" you really are. I believe that there is weblink to the CDC on this website (under weblinks) that you can see for yourself. I hope this info was helpful! :lol:
Self.com has a GREAT set of body calculator from finding out your BMI to finding out how much ou burn exercising. Check it out at www.self.com and click on calculators.

another good calculator i found puts you into catergories and rates your bmi against the averages of everyone else

i also found that not all bmi calculators are the same, the classifications of underweight, normal, and overweight seem to be different in some online calculators
here is another good link that has activity counters, tips and tricks and simple exercises that you can use. :)
