BMI.....

I can't belive that my BMI is 28.6. That means I am not far away from being obese?? I realized I was over weight but a few more lbs and I would be considered obese!!! I am glad I joined this site and have started a healthy life style. I have been exercising for a few weeks and have been keeping track of what I have been eating since Thursday. I have lost 2 lbs and am determined to stick with a healthy lifestyle. It is hard to belive that I was on the borderline low side of the BMI when i was 19 years old and now at 41 yrs old I am at the other end of the spectrum.
