changing BMI
I was just cruising around the web site and found the BMI calculator and so I punched in some numbers (I hate numbers) and to my surprise my BMI has improved dramatically.
In July of 2008 just a short while after my consult and after going on the Good bye Diet my BMI was 50.1 making me Super Morbidly Obese.
On Sept 30 - my info session my BMI was 47.6 making me Extremely Obese and I was still Extremely Obese at surgery when I had a BMI of 44.6.
Today my BMI is 39.3 making me just Obese. My potential goal weight would put me at a BMI that would classify me as Moderately Overweight and to have a normal BMI I would need to lose a lot more weight than I think I can and weigh way far less than I ever have in my adult life.
But if I could get my BMI down to Moderately Overweight I would be most pleased. I would be at a comfortable weight and feel very healthy I am sure.
In the meantime I am very happy that my BMI is now down over 10 points. Woo hoo. Does that make this an NSV? Well yes and no. But either way I am so happy about it.

As I have mentioned before I was involved with the Ontario forums Valentines Day Challenge -so hear are some of my wows this week !
Well I kicked the Valentines Day goals butt - yup my goal as you know was to be at 170 by my bday on Thursday- I forget how many lbs that was gonna be to lose maybe around 10 maybe a lil more.....
So I am now 163 lbs bringing total loss of lbs to 129 lbs since this time last year- I lost about 20 before surgery. Me is likin this RNY !!! I was 184 at the surgeons in December so down 20lbs - I will take that!
I like Ann started in the Morbidly Obese Category at a whoppin 52 BMI and at surgery in June I had it down to about 48 - I have been chking the BMI pretty regular and have been going for the overweight category and have finally achieved it with my recent 3 lbs- it tells me I no longer qualify for Weight Loss Surgery - best words I have ever heard....... My bmi has gone from a start of 52 to 29 so I am high end of overweight but hey I am in there girly!
So now I have a new focus as some of you saw on Face Book - hubby surprised me for my bday and valentines day -
Last night he gave me this binder and inside it detailed my big surprise - I cruise the Mediterranean in July - we fly into Rome and its basically a greek isle cruise - a huge dream of mine- then when we arrive back in Rome -we are staying around for 4 days before flying back home. I was so shocked and so delighted - I cant believe he did all this for him and I to have a second honeymoon so amazing - yes a very nice surprise bday gift and Valentines day and ummm lets see Mothers day and our Anniversary in July - hhmmm have I left any holidays out - Easter! LOL- hey even next Christmas is covered!
My goal is 125lbs not sure how much lbs will be hanging skin issues on tummy so I am going down the sizes and everything just keeps getting smaller and I am so excited - even bought some nice sucker inner tummy undies and such lately so I am very happy I can hide some of it!
I am feeling so good about the losses the goal is not so important anymore - its the wows along the way and feeling girly again!
Have a Wonderful Day and night - all my dreams are coming true!
