What size pants will you be wearing tomorrow?
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.

- 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

I thought I was in great shape. Then my friends started having heart attacks. I wrote this app for my friends so they could see what shape their shape was in.
How surprised I was to find out I wasn’t in the shape I thought I was.
