man, do I feel short. I only weigh 130lbs >_>

Well, I'm not exactly tall, Zeet.

According to 'can't-remember-the-name' index, my normal weight should be around 80 kilo (~176 lbs / pound / whatever you call it, man why don't you just use the metric system >_< )
My length is 1.8 m (~ 5' 11")

So it's not so much as you being short (comparatively, not meant as an insult), but me being simply overweight.

Btw, how tall are you?

"Body Mass Index" is what it's called Onigiri.

18.5-24 is the "normal" range. Without knowing your height, Zeta, I can't give you a number, but Onigiri is just outside the overweight range (25-30) based on the height/weight that you gave.

Onigiri, congratulations!! You've lost a significant amount of weight on a healthy time frame. ^^ *confetti* It seems like you've been able to keep it off and continue slimming... good luck reaching your weight goal!

Trance, your BMI is 17.7 which is classified as "underweight" which is just about my number as well. I'm around 100-105lbs at 5' 5.5" which translated to a BMI of about 16.5 to 17.2 ...

The BMI is slightly flawed in that there are several factors that it doesn't take into account, such as age, fat/muscle ratio, etc. but it is a generally good indicator of approximate height/weight ranges. Another measurement that can indicate health and risk of heart disease is waist measurement, since abdominal fat is the most dangerous in both men and women for cardiovascular health.

I'm like 5'9"/5'10"

Zeta, you havea BMI of 18.4 .. the lower edge of normal. XD congrats!

Noodles, yours is 26... just barely over the limit of normal. At 170lbs and your height, however, you'd have a BMI of 22... smack in the middle of normal ^^

So my fiance bought this pack of boneless pork-chops since they were on sale. I normally don't eat pork*, but they were super-tasty when he got done pan-frying them. I talked him into putting Tonkatsu sauce on them and YUM YUM. We had a potato, too, so he sliced it up and made home-fries. Then while my back was turned he sprinkled cheese all over them and baked it to gooey deliciousness.

I felt so spoiled! I hardly ever get meals like this. I dream of what life will be like after we are married and have our "real" jobs and I can finally afford to buy real food that doesn't come in a box...!

*[spoiler]
Did you know that whenever you stop eating pork, and then tell people "Oh, no thank you, I don't eat pork" the first thing they say is "What, are you Jewish?"
