I can't tell you how relieved I am after torturing myself over all the numbers in all the charts that all say I'm a fat, lazy slob. The author lets us off the hook, somewhat, by talking about how many things can affect our "optimum" weight and how, even without those factors...every body's different. Oh, she includes all the charts and some I haven't heard of, explaining the strengths and weaknesses of each one. This chapter is a must read for anyone having a little challenge losing weight.
