Why do you weigh what you weigh?
One day I went to bed skinny, the next I woke up fat. Well maybe not quite that fast, I’d had to go out and purchase larger jeans every six months. But not once did it occur to me that I was gaining weight. It was like I had checked out of my body or something.
It took months to lose the weight and I made a vow never to repeat that experience.
I created the BMI/BodyFat/Calorie calculator to keep my weight in line. Every morning I step on the scale. If I’m over my threshold weight I use the calculator to tell me how to take those couple of pounds back off, before they multiply.
FEATURES:
- Get your BMI
- Get your Body Fat
- Get the recommended calories for your height, age, activity level and desired weight
- Find out how a few extra calories or less calories daily will change your weight
- Find out how walking, jogging or running daily can change your weight
- Find out how many days it will take to reach your goal weight
- Use US or metric settings
- Use the phone in portrait mode to enter in exact numbers with the keyboard
- Use the phone in landscape mode to enter the data with sliders and get an intuitive feel for how small changes will effect your weight
Download the Weight Calculator and see your future.

OMG my iPhone icons are huge!
More than a few people have come to me with this problem of late. I think there’s a holiday gremlin messing with everyone’s settings.
If your iPhone icons get too large to be usable you ‘re in zoom mode.
Tap twice with three fingers to zoom in or out
Drag three fingers to move around
Go to Settings->General->Accessibility->Zoom and turn it off to keep your icons from blowing up.
