Hi,

I've searched the forums and can't find out how to determine my ideal body weight based on my lean body mass. I've actually done several internet searches and still can't find the info. My lean body mass as determined at my fitness center last year was 134.5. My much taller friend has a lbm of only 121. I am extremely muscular even when not exercising so I guess that is why it is high??? Do I calculate an 18-21 percent body fat ration and add it to that? I had set my goal for 140 lbs. but that may not be realistic esp. since I've been working out regularly (5 days a week-one hour a day) for the past three months. No one at the gym seems to be able to answer this question. Anyone have any ideas. I've lost about 10 lbs. over the past 5 weeks but my measurements show much better results, so I'm happy and really thrilled to be off sugar for the first time in my life!
