Thought I was a bit over weight but after doing the BMI it was a not so pleasant reminder that I am actually bordering obesity:( Hoping to do well.

    You'll do great!! I know I was shocked when I started and looked at my BMI and saw I was "obese"....now I'm just overweight, but hoping that will soon change to HEALTHY once I reach my goal weight!
    Good luck to you and feel free to add me as a friend for extra support.

    Remember that feeling when you saw that on the days you don't feel like exercising or feel like not counting for the day- it will help. Welcome!

    Welcome to MFP!

    Don't sweat it too much, the BMI system is flawed.

    Good luck in your goals however!

    You can do it! Just believe in yourself. It's important to take yourself where you are (and it sounds like you are aware of your starting point) but don't beat yourself up. We all have needed to and continue to need to work on nearly every area of our lives. You'll do great! Feel free to add me.
