BMI Check

Hey everyone,
So I've lost 27 pounds so far. (Only four of that is from the app since I only joined two weeks ago.)
I've been feeling really positive but I just checked my BMI and apparently I'm still 11 pounds overweight!
I'm aiming to lose another 20 pounds regardless but I'm feeling a bit down to see that I still have a bad BMI.
I keep seeing old pictures of myself from before I lost weight and feeling horrified I ever got that big.
Not sure what this post is for, I just needed to have a bit of a rant.

    27 pounds is amazing! And BMI and computer suggested weights have no idea what's best for you. When you look at your old photos, try not to get sad . Feel even better about your accomplishments. It is so hard to turn things around (believe me, I'm still trying to turn). And you've done it!

    The BMI is a joke I wouldn't pay attention to it. You will know if you are overweight or not. Grats on the success so far. I am only starting this is my first day.
