BMI
I know that BMI is not the be all and end all indicator of anything. However, I am happy to say that at this time last year I had a BMI of 46, now it is 33. How amazing is that! I am almost out of the obese area. Lol

Jackie I had never thought to recheck my BMI! thanks it gave me a boost when I saw how much it has gone down.

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
That is AMAZING!!!!
My niece is in education in the fitness stream and a body builder and she is constantly complaining how terribly unfair the BMI is. I think that it is a "piece of the puzzle" and not the be all and end all like you say - having said that - my goal is a healthy BMI on the chart - not the low end - and it does mean success for us as that is how our clinics gauge our need for the surgery and our success. you are doing AMAZING!
