Hi there

I have a not so important question, but I am just curious about it. How
should you calculate your weight based on your height? I know it is based on
your gender, frame, and height. Now my question is about my height. I was
5.9 feet tall, but now due to my age (71) I am not quit 5.8. And in another
few years, I might be 5.7 should I calculate for what I was or what I am. I
have a feeling that it is your original height, because my arms and legs did
not shrink, it is only my back. I weigh right now 155 lbs, so I am right on.
I was just been told by the doctor, that I am in the beginning stages of
diabetes. I took it to heart and been very strict with my diet and lost
about 12 lbs. in 4 months

I am just curious what your answer would be and others might be interested
too, who are trying to lose weight

Wiser to weigh your meals instead of either calculating or weighing
yourself:

That was not my question. When you go to the doctor, he/she let you step on
the scale and want to see if you are the proper weight. So where do they
base on your weight. Gender, frame and height. The question is, by what
height would they use, your original or your present height

We use the current measured height and current measured weight to
calculate current BMI (body mass index).

However, in our collective clinical experience, it is the visceral
adipose tissue (VAT) that matters more than either body weight or BMI
in increasing risk for cardiovascular disease especially in the
setting of hypertension and type-2 diabetes.

No macro being used here.

Bottom line:

You remain pathologically untruthful.

May we, who are Jesus' brethren, continue to pray for your endangered
soul:

There is no shame in walking closely with LORD Jesus Christ.

Bottom line:

You remain that liar you have always been from the outset.

May we, who are Jesus' brethren, continue to rebuke you at each GOD-
given opportunity:

Chung's staff includes other Shoe and Sock Puppets of Satan.

Here is a picture of how he practices on himself for when he greets

That was not my question. I do control my weight by small portions. But all
what I want know is what is the proper weight. When you go to the doctor,
he/she will weigh you. Now what do they base on your proper weight on. The
height you were or what you are now, for over the years you shrink about 3
inches

Try a google search and will find different tables and can get a
general idea of the range of what is "normal" weight - there are not
universally accepted figures but more of a general range.  The BMI,
properly done, can be helpful too and may be of a lot of value but
would not be helpful for frequent monitoring of your weight.

You are correct to control your weight by small portions which is the
best way of doing it.

Loss of height during aging is due to changes in joints, such as in the feet
and spine. This has no effect on abdominal fat. I would use my young adult
height to determine BMI.

BMI is a very poor measure of susceptibility to diabetes, though. You would
do much better to measure your ratio of waist circumference to hip
circumference. That ratio correlates quite strongly with risk of diabetes
and heart disease.
