    I want to lose 15kg (33 pounds) and I'm already in the "normal" BMI range.

    SW 280lbs
    CW 203lbs
    GW 180lbs (when I first joined MFP, my initial GW was 225lbs and at the time, THAT seemed like trying to take a trip to the moon in a rowboat...now I want to join the Century Club by losing 100lbs!)

    Only a few more lbs to go and I'll 1)-Be in Onderland, which hasn't been a reality since I was a teen & 2)-move out of Obese and into Overweight on the BMI charts.

    According to the BMI charts, I'd have to get down to 164 lbs to get into a normal range. With my build, that simply won't happen, so I'll be considered overweight using BMI. I don't put any stock in BMI, so it doesn't concern me in the slightest.

    SW: 381
    CW: 302-296 (the last time I stepped on the scale it was the lower #, but it wasn't an official weigh in day, so I'm hesitant to count it)
    GW:180

    This GW puts me at barely overweight by BMI standards. 170 would be within normal standards. So, I may choose to go to there. We'll see how things go as I get closer. I've never been that low… so I'm not sure what to expect from my body.

    SW: 248 (BMI of 40)
    CW: 202.3 (where I've been stuck for three days, damn TOM) (BMI around 32-33)
    GW: 130-145, probably on the higher end of that (my goal is set at 145, which is 23.4 I think)

    57.3 more pounds to go!

    I have about 30ish pounds to lose. I don't plan on setting a goal weight until I lose another 20 and then I will set a 5 pound range that I want to stay in.

    25 lbs. Sounds reachable, right? I just keep struggling. It was a difficult year - my Mom died. Now I need to get my act together. We can do this... right!

    SW: at least 305 lbs ( a BMI of 50 which is morbidly obese).
    CW: 265.4 lbs from last weigh in ( BMI= 43.3 so still morbidly obese).
    GW: 145 lbs (BMI= 23.8 which is normal).

    I've lost 39.6 lbs so far, 120.4 lbs left to go.

    I have 25 to lose and am halfway there. I had bad news with BMI last time I reached goal; I expected it to be way down but it wasn't. At goal I was 5'4" and weighed 133, but the BMI test I was given showed that I was still pushing "overweight"... I got mad and haven't had another one. I've been told by some MFP'ers that BMI isn't all it's cracked up to be and not to worry about it too much, so I'm going to try that mindset this time around!

    I'm 5'3" and my starting weight was 165 with a BMI of 29.2 which is borderline obese. I've lost 30lbs and currently weigh 135 with a BMI of 23.9 on the upper side of "normal." My first goal is 115, so my final BMI should be a healthy and skinny 20.4.

    I have at least 32 lbs to lose. I don't care about my BMI. I don't think it is accurate. I just want to be tone and healthy.

    Started with 71lbs to lose, I've lost 10, so I'm down to 61 left. Losing that will get me to ~162lbs which is the tippy top of the healthy BMI for my height. I'll stay put or lose some more depending on how I feel when I get there.
