I just found this fantastic tool called the BMI visualizer, at http://bmijs.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/en/body_masses/get_data

You put in your height and any weight (past weight, current weight, aspirational weight) and it produces an image for you to see what you body did/does/will approximately look like.

Very cool. Here is my past/present/aspirational BMI in images, in ten pound increments:

    This is a really cool tool. However, it is a little disheartening that the program cannot even accept my highest weight... It has a max of 330 for my age/gender/height etc. It's one more reminder of how out of control I was.

    It is an interesting concept. I definitely carry my weight different than the model, so really tough for me to visualize where I will be with that tool.

    This site is nice, too. You can change lots of variables.

    I carry my weight differently than the model, too, but I still thought it was helpful to visualize the changes that have been made so far and to see where I'm going. I'm anxious to get rid of some of that extra belly and hips that I have lying around.

    You're not the only one who has had an issue. If you are at the end of weight or height ranges, the tool won't work!
