I've lost 98.8 pounds since I began on January 9th and my BMI is normal as of today! I'm 14 pounds from my goal, but on the advice of those who've walked this road before me I may revise that a bit lower for room to bounce back once I get there.

I know BMI isn't the be all end all, but I'm thrilled to be officially "normal" in someone's book!

Reaching a normal BMI was such an amazing thing for me, second only to the day that I reached my goal weight. Sometimes I still stand on the scale and see that number and it's just unbelievable. Congratulations on your accomplishment. After you reach your goal you will have to focus on maintenance. But with our great tool it's possible.

Great job! Can't wait to get to a normal BMI I don't think I ever had a normal BMI in my whole adult life so that is a great accomplishment.

Yay good for you. As an old timer I would definitely say go a little lower while you can as its easier now than later on. I got too low but doc said don't worry and he was right. Congrats on normal! Diane S
