    I just had an unplanned whoosh over the last two days (and I thought humid air combined with aircon was responsible for running to the loo constantly) and am now at a BMI of 20.1. I still look ok, thus that's not a problem. It's just weired to be on a weight I last had as teenager. I do have more muscles though :smiley:

    I'm 5'6 (or just under) and my BMI, before I was pregnant with my third, was 24.9, only just scraping into the healthy range:

    I'd like to have lost maybe 5-10lbs more then, but mainly just wanted a flatter stomach and better thighs!

    My profile picture was taken yesterday, and there are a few more recent pics on my profile page, and I'd say my BMI now is around 27. I haven't weighed myself for ages. I tend to look lighter than I actually weigh, so I don't think I need to drop below a BMI of around 23 really.

    I'm 5'5, weigh 130, so bmi is 21.6 and I'm happy where I'm at. I have a more "solid" muscular frame and always have. I think if I got any smaller I wouldn't look healthy.

    I gain and lose 2 lbs here and there so my BMI will fall into the 18 range sometimes. But I am seriously working on this and am at maintenance now. Would like to be BMI 21-22 or whatever.

    I would like my waist to be 30in . I am now doing low carb to see if it will make a waist change. My BMI after I hit the BMI 25 I think I will go to the lower end to help with aging. Current BMI is 28

    Mine is currently 22. I believe I look best with a BMI around 21. It's not a big difference in weight but it seems to make a big difference on my frame.
