    Goal 130 lbs whenever I get there. If I continue at 1 lb/wk, that's probably going to be August of 2018. I'm in no hurry.

    I just noticed this challenge. It looks like an excellent idea. Just being classified as "overweight" would be a huge victory.

    When I returned to MFP (after a lengthy absence) I weighed exactly 300 lbs. That tells you right there that an alarm bell went off for me. At 5' 10" (70") height my BMI was 43. Which is on Table 2 of the standard BMI calculator. Obese class III. My first target is to get to Obese class II at 271 lbs and a BMI of 39. Then get off Table 2!

    As of today I am 284 lbs. Which puts my BMI at 41. A 14lb weight loss will get me to a BMI of 39. I am on the "55 lbs by Xmas" challenge (admittedly not on track) and 7 weeks, if diligent, gets me to the first target, which I'll label "Goal 1".

    SW: 300 lbs / 43 BMI / Obese class III
    LW: 284 lbs (today) / 41 BMI / Obese class III
    CW: 284 lbs (today) / 41 BMI / Obese class III

    Goal 1: 271 lbs / 39 BMI / Obese class II
    Goal 2: 243 lbs / 35 BMI / Obese class I
    Goal 3: 209 lbs / 30 BMI / Overweight

    Anything < 200 lbs approaching "normal weight" (according to tables) is simply too far away to fathom.

    I'll check back in a week's time.

    Started 225lbs/34 BMI (Jan 17) class 1 obese, near the tippy top, almost class 2.
    Current 165lbs/25.1 BMI Overweight
    Goal 160 lbs/24.3 BMI Healthy

    This is just an initial goal, I may adjust once there.

    Oh so close to not being classed overweight. This will be the first time in probably 25 years.
