Hey :-D
So lets see its a day after Easter I registered on the site yesterday after viewing the profile of my lovely mother 
(not looking for an allowance raise ~laughs~)....Well yesterday I was looking around and I was reading profiles and posts of teens in my age range and some girl said something that just made me think.....she said " If you eat to much your overweight and obese and can be labeled as having a disease, but if you eat to little and your underweight you also have a disease". So in repliance to the post "Numbers, Numbers, Numbers" look at this not only can and do the numbers label a person as what they are but it is also a guidline in which people are "required" to live by in order to maintain a certain weight and health status.....Me personally would have to be 198 pounds to be considered normal.....I have full self confidence in myself to lost weight but my body even cutting my knees down off will never be at the weight 198 even just skin and bones.....So what to do? Do we and I continue to look at the numbers and figure out where I need to be or we need to be? For insurance purposes yes but for life and feeling good no....If you ask me I think that the BMI scale should not even be used as we are all (generally) using it........unless referring back to "Numbers, Numbers, Numbers" you want to change your height just to be considered normal....So in my eyes Im gonna update the BMI but no possible way in hell will I go by it and set my goals to that.....I have a weight goal not a BMI goal......but as I started out to say with the overweight and underweight comment....is this all just some insurance hoax for money or is it actually the real healthy numbers and labels and "ways of life"?

Hi Charlie,
I believe in baby steps and to get to a point where your body will be comfortable. My normal BMI will be reached when I hit 157 pounds. I don't even want to think about that number, it is too far off. But if I get there I'm not going to be upset either. But right now my goal is 200 pounds, which is a loss of 152 pounds. I'll live with that if I get it!!!
