Question

Kate recently finished graduate school with a master’s degree in developmental psychology. Kate was a runner in college and regularly logged between 30 and 40 miles per week, sometimes more. She was not a competitive athlete but liked to run several community races (5k, 10k, and half-marathon distances) in a given year. During her senior year in college, Kate fell and broke her ankle. The injury had a long and painful recovery period. Recovery, combined with time commitments for school and work, prevented her from training during graduate school. Kate did not change her eating habits, and given the time restraints of a busy schedule, she eats out for most meals during the week. She gained 20 lbs. over the past 2.5 years. Kate is 5'3" and weighs 150 lbs. Kate would really like to lose weight but worries about her ability to return to her college weight and maybe we can assist her with what we have learned so far. 1. Calculate Kate’s current BMI (use Table 1-1 to determine her BMI classification). 2. Calculate Kate’s old BMI. How has the increase in weight influenced her current BMI? 3. If you were giving advice to Kate, what other factors might be important to consider? 4. What might be some of the advice that you would give Kate to help her improve her health and accomplish her weight loss goals? 5. How would you personally feel if you were Kate?
