So I was feeling bad about having a BMI of 26.5, therefore being over weight... but then I plugged my OLD weight into the calculator and saw that my BMI was once 47.4!!!

Now 26.5 sounds pretty good.

And I'm on the road to better :)

    i was so happy to hear that i was 'overweight' instead of 'obese' according to my BMI. Now, I am 'healthy' and I am going to stay that way!

    Huge difference! You're barely in the overweight category . . . nearly to the green zone in your BMI, congratulations!
