packed with a plethora of vitamins and
nutrients, chiefly vitamins A and C, and

With the bikini season right
around the comer, people are ask
ing the age old question: “Does this
make my butt look big?”
Many people around this time
of. year try to exercise and get to
that “ideal weight.” But there is the
ideal weight that doctors say you
should be at via your height-weight
ratio and then there is your personal
ideal weight.
According to doctors, there is
an ideal weight that each individual
should be at, based on height. At
that weight, they are considered in
the best health and at a lower risk
for problems compared to someone
who has extra baggage. There is
a target weight for both men and
women. Each target weight also
has a window of about 15 pounds.
For example, a man who is 6 foot
1 inch has a target weight of 171
pounds but can go as low as 150
pounds and as high as 192 and still
be considered within that target
weight bracket
“I don’t think that the ideal
weight should matter,” said CCC
student Sherill Wilson. “Each per
son should just be at what weight
they feel comfortable at If you
think you look good than that’s all
that matters.” Wilson is a an older
women who said she works out on
occasion but not as much as recom
mended.
For those who aren’t around
their doctor-recommended ideal
weight but feel their weight is ideal,
even small steps can be a stepping
stone to a healthier life in general.
“I would be happy just to lose
20 pounds before summer,” said
Rachel Jaminson. ‘1 want to be
healthier, but I'm quite a bit away
from what I'm supposed to be.
Maybe it will help me in some
way.”
Jamison has been working out
at 24 Hour Fitness for three years.
She said that she weighs about 190
pounds, though for her height, her
ideal weight should be 140 pounds.
If she lost 20 pounds she could be
well on her way to a healthier life
physically.
Sometimes losing wei
harder then it seems. It is a
fact that muscle weighs mo
fat. People trying to lose wet
come across the problem th
are losing fat but gaining mi
return, reflecting a lack of p
on the scale.
“I love working out. I
me gain muscle and makes
healthier just being out hi
ing weights,” said Jake 0i
19-year-old who played bar
in high school. Owens said
ries more about his percet
body fat than his weight.
A person’s ideal wei(

things to different people
people will follow doctor’:
while others will just set th
target weight. There are als
