Okay, cool, that one allows me to put in my 5'2 and a HALF" (5' 2.5"), which the other did not. My BMI came out 18.5, which is "NORMAL" (albeit the very lowest end of normal).

But I still have more body fat than it would seem to indicate. I'm petite, small-boned, and curvy -- not ectomorphic at all. And it sure is hard to get rid of the flab -- if I lose more weight I'd look anorexic. I guess the fat around the middle is just part of being 45....I had a lot less belly fat even when I weighed more at ages 25 and 35! Sigh...
