It's actually under 45 in our creed but we always add that any one can post on our LW Board.

Welcome to our LW Board!!!

This following statement is Copied from our LW Creed that we've had for years:

"I began my journey with a BMI of less than 45 and/or with less than 150 lbs excess weight. My lower BMI and excess weight does in no way make me less deserving of medical intervention, and I should not be made to feel inferior or guilty".

If you look further done in our posts you will see a subject title for the creed and you can read all of it.

BUT.....Everyone's welcome on our Lightweight Board!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to hearing about your journey!!!
