DO I STILL LOOK OBESE? BMI SAYS YES YOU BE THE JUDGE
WELL I FINALLY HAVE SEEMED TO HAVE STABILIZED SOME CALL IT A PLATEAU BUT I DONT WANT TO GET ANY SMALLER. AT 6'3" IM WEARING A 38" WAIST AND A MEDIUM TO A LARGE SHIRT. AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT I WEIGH IN THE 240'S. ONCE I GET PLASTIC ITLL PUT PE IN THE 230'S . DOESNT FEEL LIKE ITS ONLY BEEN 11 MONTHS. I JUST FEEL GREAT!! IVE LOST ABOUT 270 LBS IN 11 MONTHS STILL CANT BELIEVE I EVER GOT THAT BIG. FUNNY THING IS AT MY HEIGHT AND MY CLOTHING SIZES MY BMI IS JUST SLIGHTLY IN THE OBESE RANGE. BUT YOU TELL ME DO I LOOK OBESE? I FIGURE THE BMI DOESN'T FACTOR IN ATHLETES OR MUSCLE MASS. WEARING A 36-38 WAIST AND A M- L SHIRT AT 6"3" ID HAVE TO DROP 50 MORE LBS TO BE IN NORMAL RANGE. MAYBE IF I CUT OFF BOTH MY LEGS I MIGHT GET THERE! just posted new photo in profile you be the judge
Just remember the BMI charts don't take in to account whether the weight is muscle or fat. I remember seeing a site once that listed all these atheletes and their BMI's...like Arnold Swartzen@$#@!% whatever..lol. Anyway it said they were obese! These were professional atheletes with zero body fat.
You look great and feel better...don't worry about the charts.
Take care,

Steve you look fantastic and if the BMI charts state your obese then so be it... It really depends on how you feel about you. It seems you are very satisified where you're at right now and as long as your health is good also I think you are doing great...Keep up the great work you've come so far in such a short time.
Take care,
