Just curious! :)
I decided to track my BMI as I lose weight.
When I started 4 weeks ago, it was 54.8 (ouch) and now it is 53.3. Can't wait to get it under 50.

    I started at 28.3, currently 26.1, although BMI is fairly useless.

    Started at 34, now 24. Very top end of healthy. But goal is to be exactly in the middle of healthy range at 22.

    BMI is not useless at all; it's a much better measure of a person's overall fitness than weight.

    Body fat percentage is a much better and more accurate measure. I don't care what my BMI is, as long as I don't have too much body fat.

    28.5 (That's almost obese! Geez BMI is sort of useless isn't it?) Currently 26.3. My goal weight will put me at 24.9 which is JUST barely in the healthy range.

    Started at 38.2 and now 28.7. I added as a measurement a very long time ago so I could watch it go down. So everytime I get a new weight, I check BMI.

    Good luck. You can do it.

    False! It's only a height to weight ratio. The majority of NFL players are obese according to BMI.
