Anyone with starting BMI of 40-44???

Just wondering if there is anyone in the group with a starting BMI of 40-44. I was a 43.2. Now i am about 32. How is it going??? Judy

Judy, I was 49.6. Now am 34. Was 317 lbs, now am 215 lbs. Woo hoo!! I hope to get down to 175 which is reasonable for my height 5"7" and age 55. I don't think older women look very good when they are too thin. Sandra Open RNY 10/17/03 Wilford Hall Medical Center (U.S.A.F.) San Antonio, TX

hello, i had surgery 10/17/03...my bmi was 44.1 and i weighed 285...i am now at a bmi of 29.5 and i now weigh 193.... i am very excited!!! melinda

I started out in that range. I think it was 42. I'm now at 29.8.

I was a 41 BMI. I had to gain 6 pounds to get to that. My insurance wouldn't do it at a 40. I don't know what I am now. I am 5'6" and weigh 183 pounds. Karen

Wow! I did my BMI. I am a 29.5. That isn't even obese at all. It is only overweight. Cool! Karen

Wow Karen! congrats on going down from obese to only overweight! Wahoo!!! Erin 302/192
