New BMI

I just did my BMI for the fun of it and I am just overweight! My BMI is 29.6 down from 47! What a cool thing! Liz

Hi Liz...Congratulations on being overweight!! Woo who, woo who, woo who. Are you doing the happy ? It's quite an accomplishment going from a 47 BMI to 29.6. How much weight have you lost? Keep up the great work.....Paula

Paula, I have lost 114 pounds so far. I would like to lose another 20-30 pounds if I can. I really think I can! Yes I am doing the happy dance! Liz

Way to go Liz! You should be very proud! You inspired me to do the same thing. I started this at a huge 62.2 BMI . I am terribly happy to report that although I was "Super Obese" (although I am sure there is nothing Super about it) at the beginning, I have now passed through the categories "Super Obese", "Morbidly Obese", and "Severely Obese" to occupy my present 34.4 BMI in the "Obese" category. My goodness who would think that I would be happy as a lark to be labled just plain old "Obese"? Well I am!!!!!!!!!! I will see you in "Overweight" land soon! Keep up the great work! Best, Amy

114 pounds lost - what a great accomplishment. I too really believe you can lose 20-30 more pounds. We're only 9 months postop with plenty of time to lose. You have a great attitude - which I must say is contagious!Paula
