Last week I got down to a weight that I didn't realize until this morning means I am OVERWEIGHT! No longer obese on the BMI scale. :)

    Congrats, I know the feeling. I recently just passed as well, but take it with a grain of salt.. Sometimes I think it's old and outdated.

    It said my target range was 134-185lbs. 185 I can see, but for my build/strength, 135 would put me in a box 6' under.

    It may be old and outdated, but I still use it as a motivator!! I loved when I went from obese to just plain ole overweight. Love it!

    Awesome! lol Im counting down to that I have another 1.4 lbs and I will get there soon darn it!!

    I agree its a tad outdated, but especially so for men. If you are building muscle just remember you may be barely in the "overweight" section from the "healthy" section and still have a very healthy body fat % and be at a smaller size
