Guest guest Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hi folks: Since things seem to be quiet here right now perhaps a little reminder is in order that there are two databases to which members can add their own information. These data are accessed by clicking the 'Database' button on the left of the page. One has data relating to when members started CRON and what their BMI, body fat and ratio of waist circumference to height are. The second contains data relating to fitness levels based on a very simple American Heart Association walking fitness test. These tables are helpful to give us all an overall perspective of some important measures related to health. It would be nice to have data for more of us so that we can see where we stand compared with what others are doing. So please take a look and consider entering your own numbers. Thanks. Rodney.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Rodney, I agree that it is important for every one to update their data at least once per year to monitor progress. However, given that this is a " CR support group " we should also make an effort to determine what is our level of caloric restriction. This cannot be determined from the data in the database. If we follow a procedure for determining Percent CR like I outlined in Message 18375, it is necessary to record HEIGHT, and LEVEL OF ACTIVITY, and daily CALORIC INTAKE. As it is, not many members of this group really know their level of caloric restriction. I think that the database format needs to be modified so that it can be more useful.

Tony ============== -- I for one would love to know my percent of CR (if any) but don't know how to figure it. Does somebody actually " know " ? I have seen and read lots of speculation over the years but investing time and/or trying to target based on such speculations does not appeal to me at this time.
