Body Mass Visualizer

[wascott 395]

I recently did a google search for photos of people with various body mass numbers so I could get a better idea on what I should target.

I ran across this interesting web site that generates a simulated front and side view of a man or woman. Simply enter gender, age, height, and weight then press calculate bmi. You can then drag a slider up or down to simulate a lower or higher BMI.

I found it helpful.

Fascinating. My only concern is the lack of muscle mass taken into account.

That is so cool! My goal is 30 lbs less than the surgeon's. I am still overweight at the surgeon's goal of 200 lbs. dreaming of being 170!

Thanks. I bookmarked that page.

@@Smye it would be an interesting addition if they added body type to the input parameters.

@@Jb1176 My goal might be a little aggressive. I'll reevaluate once I get closer.

Cool tool. I personally think the results make a person look heavier than in reality though. At least it did with me and every family member I plugged in to compare! My daughter and I are the same height and look about the same size. We wear the same size clothes even though she weighs 132 and I weigh between 150-152. I don't think this tool does a good job distinguishing between muscle and fat weight! It can result in a huge difference in your total body mass size!

Cool website. Thanks! I was thinking I should have an ultimate goal of 140 (which still has me in the overweight range). After looking at that, I think 130 might be doable.

Thanks!
