I'm Obese! CHECK YOUR BMI

Hello all, Gee, doesn't sound like anything to get excited about does it? But My new BMI is 34.3 which makes me obese...not MORBIDLY OBESE, not SEVERELY OBESE, just obese! I started out at between 49 and 50! Quite a drop! I have lost 81 pounds now since surgery and 91 since October. How are YOU doing? Tracy

Hi there Tracy, How are you doing I do keep up with my BMI. I now have a BMI of 24.7 which puts me in a catergory of being "NORMAL" Imagine that word huh? I started my journey at a BMI of 39.5 which made me "OBESE" I am now at goal and hoping to hit this century mark shortly. My anniversary will be on 6/15/04 so I really don't think I will make it by then. I did the best I could though. Have a great weekend and keep up Lorraine

GREAT job Tracy! You are doing a fabulous job. I'm right at about 80 pounds lost and having a hard time getting the scale to move again. I've been gaining and losing the same few pounds since 5/25. Oh the insanity! Enjoy your weekend! Jill

I am right there with you BMI-wise Tracy! My BMI is now 34.4. I started originally in the journey toward surgery with a BMI of 56.6, so I've come a long way...from Super Mobidly Obese to just Obese. I have lost 92 pounds since coming home from surgery and I have 8 more to lose to be in the century club for pounds lost since surgery, although overall I have lost 142. Christy

WOW.....Thanks Tracy I had no idea I was just merely obese.....34.4 today....how exciting!!!!!! Your right though......funny the kind of stuff we get excited about!!!!lol.....Have a great day everyone.....Mine will be busy.....sorry I have been MIA for awhile MIL is in town for 8 days yesterday was my twins 5th birthday and tody is the actual big party so just super busy....Everyone take care and have a great weekend! Jesi

I am OBESE but not for long!!!! BMI is 32.1!!! whoo hoo since I am 5' 3.5" tall I have to calculate for 5'3" and 5'4" and take the average of the two!

Tracy! You are doing so well! After reading your post, I re-checked my BMI. I am at a very annoying 30.5. Just barely "Obese." Now I have to work really hard this week to get down to "Overweight." I can't wait to tell people I'm overweight. Great Weekend to All! Deb

Hi guys! I just checked my BMI for the first time since surgery and I am now NORMAL- 23.4!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!I started out at severely obese at 38.4. It is so funny that I am not even classified as overweight now and I am still in that "fat" mentality. I told someone today that complimented me that I still had about 25 more pounds to lose and they were like "WHERE?". I have to admit, my legs look so slim and trim, hard to believe that when they did my body fat composition, my fattest area on my body was my....you guessed it....my legs. Go figure!!! I have worked out for three days straight and I have to admit, I enjoy it and want to do it. It makes me feel good, even though every muscle in my body aches. But when I feel them stinging, I feel like I have done something to make myself look good. My hubby is getting jealous. He says now that my waist is smaller, I look like I have bigger breasts (really it is just the wonder bra- cause I have lost a whole cup size since WLS) and I look "good" (his words). Now he's scared some guy is going to sweep me up. Yeah right. He has no worries. As long as he keeps the compliments coming, ha/ha! Have a great weekend guys. I am going to do homework and study. Talk to you soon. Staci Congratulations everyone.

I'm at 33.5.....I can't wait to be under 30!! I'm also at -95 as of today. Great work EVERYone!! Jenni

Congratulations Tracy! You are doing awesome! MY BMI started out at 45 and is now a 28! I can't believe that I am where I am... to be honest I figured I would be the one person that this didn't work for. (I suppose we have all felt that way at one time or another!). Wohoo fro you! ~Rachel
