Your BMI %

It's not a %. It's a ratio of weight to height, so it's incorrect to call it a percentage.
Plus that confuses people with Body Fat %.0 -
My starting bmi was 22.8 in January. As of today it's 21.4. I'm down 9 pounds and my ultimate goal is to have a bmi of 19.0

I went from 42.7 to 38.4 . I've lost 10% of my body weight and am off cholesterol meds!0

38.1 to 26.3... almost out of the over weight category... never thought I would do it...0

I go by my body fat % not BMI.0

starting BMI = 39.6
current BMI = 21.3
WHOOP WHOOP :happy:0 -
I agree that the body fat percentage is a much more accurate number. My BMI is 25.1, which is in the overweight range, but my body fat is currently at 17.8%, which is in the healthy range for me. That's down a lot from the 35% body fat I started with.0

How do I find my original?0

My current BMI is 28.7. When I started it was 51.4. I'm thrilled to be just "overweight" right now instead of morbidly obese. I still have my eye on the prize to have a normal BMI!0

I've gone from 44% to 40%. Still a long way to go but I knew that. I'm actually quite pleased to see it's already down 4%0

Originally 35
Now 23.1
Lowest (mid summer Last year) 22.
Hope to be back at that by july, but with more muscle and less fat.0 -
32.8 to 26.6 since early Jan. BMI is pretty inaccurate, but it is nice to see it go down.
Its only really inaccurate in people who have lots of lean muscle mass or are quite tall, saying it is inaccurate in general isn't right. Personally I think it is more of a guideline, but you have to make judgement calls based on the person.
but back to topic - starting BMI : 39, current is 28.1 - my original goal was a 25 BMI but I think I have built too much muscle mass over the last 2 years for that now.0 -
