BMI (was question for CR support group about cr effects)

[Guest guest]

My BMI is about 19 (ht 5'4 " wt 111-112). I think I'm at a good weight/BMI

for my petite frame. I exercise, lift some weights and don't look emaciated

at all IMO. (See the files and photo sections for recent pictures at the

CRON meeting on June 13 - I'm the gal in red.) At a BMI of 21 or above I

think I'd be too high (even though I'm the first one to stress moderation)
