Ok.. i know a lot of people don't go by BMI but fact is in the UK anyway that the whole 'obese / morbidly obese' label has been around my neck for a LONG time...
Well I realised today that my BMI will have dropped and I'm heading towards 'overweight' YAY!!
so, I checked it out and.. have gone from 41 something to 31 something this year! I'm so pleased, and am only 10lb away from that 'overweight' label!
Can't wait to kick Obese into touch!

How much has yours changed? Have you broken into a new bracket?

    congrats :)

    & i dont know, i was told by my doctor when i was pregnant that i was obese, but then later was told by a different doctor i was considered 'over weight' i dont even know what my BMI is to be completely honest -- about half afraid to look.

    *edit*

    so at my start weight, i was considered 'obese' with a BMI of 35.4 - Now, 33.1 (so still considered obese.)

    I started off 2 pounds shy of obese and today I finally dipped into normal (by 0.1 pound) :bigsmile:

    At my heaviest my BMI was 35, now it's down to 27 and although I don't measure myself in this way - my doctor does. That's all they seem to take into account when you hop on the scales.

    I am currently at 177.6. I will drop down from "Obese" to "Overweight" in just over 10 lbs. I'm stoked. :D

    Definitely changed brackets here.:happy:

    I started in October last year at 43 (Morbidly Obese):embarassed: and am currently 29.2 (Overweight):drinker: . It will take another 30lbs to get into normal range, and I'm not actually anticipating getting there. It certainly isn't a goal of mine as such. Instead my goal is <30% body fat. What that will be in lbs/kgs is something I won't know until I get there.

    I think mine was around 32 when I started (obese), and now it's about 27 (overweight). I'm aiming for 22-23.

    I consider the BMI chart a HUGE fail. When I started, it had me at about 34, and now I'm down to 27. This thing lists my goal weight as 118-159lbs lol. That's me in my profile picture, at about 175lbs. No way I could lose 15lbs more, and still look healthy.

    Silly BMI.

    I started off as morbidly obese and now I'm mid 30's and in the obese category. Very much looking forward to being overweight! :bigsmile:
