    Today I hit one of my personal milestones - to be in the normal BMI catagory! I am now the lightest I have been in almost 5 years and won't have to get the lecture from my doctor about losing weight anymore! I printed out the page and stuck it on my study wall. Next time my husband tells me I am wierd I will be prepared! :laugh:

    I am feeling so positive about losing the rest of my extra weight! Doesn't hitting these little goals make you feel happy. :bigsmile:

      This- and % of body fat- and good blood work results-
      are the best indicator(s) of overall health..........

      Congratulations! But for those of you who are "above average" on your BMI, don't stress too much about it. Most people who have a significant amount of muscle show as "overweight" per the BMI. In my particular circumstances (I'm 5'7" with a LEAN body mass of 148), if I have even 10 lbs of fat I would be considered overweight. In reality, with my lean mass and to maintain a 20% body fat ratio, I will have to weigh closer to 178. So if your body type goes to BMI, fabulous. If not, don't beat yourself up.
