I had my weekly weight in today and it came in at 178.8 pounds. For a 5' 11' guy like myself, that puts my BMI at 24.9, which is officially in the normal range! I know it's just in the normal range by a hair, but it feels like I've made a serious step forward.

I'm down 7.2 pounds now, with another 14 to go. That will put my BMI at 23, which is a number I'll be very happy with.

I just wanted to share this bit of good news with everyone. I wouldn't be where I am now without MFP and this community!

    The max weight for my healthy range is 205, I dont think that suits my body type but I am looking forward to 1 day just being overweight. Congrats!
