    It sounds like you are doing great. Just take it one day at a time. Keep it up. Don't beat yourself up if you reach a plateau. Just keep doing what you've been doing. Great job!

    You are doing great. You're a huge motivation for me. My starting weight 7 weeks ago was 370 and I see you a year later at 264 and picture me in a year. Keep up the great job your doing.

    Ok, I just had a look at your profile pictures, hope you don't mind..... You look amazing... keep up the great work, don't you dare be discouraged because you're an inspiration to everyone here. I think YOU need to look at your before pictures again, you look like a quarter of the person you were. My stepson's BMI is really high for his age... he's all muscle, I don't completely agree with BMI charting, it doesn't always make sense.

    Keep going, you're a legend :-)

    What a fantastic loss...I wouldn't worry about the BMI scale...only now have I reached a "healthy" bmi reading on here, although on the NHS website, I was here a long time ago!

    100lbs is an amazing achievement...You WILL get there...just keep doing what you're doing :flowerforyou:

    Keep that head held high! :flowerforyou:

    I know the feeling. I have lost a 124 lb plus and I still am concidered Obese by the medical perfession even though I can run a mile in 15 minutes, and kick box with the best of them! So here is my take. If you feel great, screw everyone else. I think your doing a great job and you look great! So.. onward and upward and screw the rest!

    If my guess is correct you got rid of the word "MORBID" and that is a HUGE word. Now keep going :D

    That BMI chart is propaganda.......another tool for the government to lable us. I talked to my general practioner and he said not to use it, . How can you be normal one day, then gain one pound , and then be labeled " overweight"

    Nah, its a useless outdated chart that is a joke. They dont even take in account the age issue ,as older people are considered more overweight as opposed to younger people

    Most drs laugh when its brought up in conversation. Use you waist as your guide..............you always want your waiste size to be ONE HALF your height

    Im 6 foot tall, thats 72 inches tall, so half of that is 36, and Im almost there...........Ill be there for Christmas, and I can wait. I saw where the AMA said men should keep their waist size a minimum of 40 inches or less, so go figure...........you dont know who to believe

    also, you ve lost 100 lbs, pat your back and continue your journey...........youre doing great.........Lloyd
