BMI Mini-Victory

I was so excited about fitting into my skinny jeans that I didn't even notice that meeting this particular goal also just put me below 40 BMI.

I started at 45 and that was one of the main deciding factors in having this surgery. According to the chart I looked at, I was in the highest category of obesity shown. See below from Wikipedia.

BMI Ranges
Normal = 18.5-25
Overweight = 25-30
Obese Class 1 = 30-35
Obese Class 2 = 35-40
Obese Class 3 = 40+

So now I'm at 39! Obese Class 2. No longer in the "worst" category.

A little at a time...

One more pound...

...and I'll be under a 40 bmi.

yay!

Now I just have to get there...Labor Day weekend has not been overly kind to my diet. But I can't really overdo it all that much considering!

Another weight loss marker

So I've been looking at the weight loss calculator I have in the right hand column, and I see that even though I've lost a bunch of weight, my BMI calculator still shows me as above 40 which surprises me.

When I started this, my BMI was over 45. That was one of the major factors in deciding to have the surgery. People can qualify with a BMI of 35 and higher (with other health conditions). And mine was a shocking 45!

Soooo...I'm pleased to see that not only will my next goal be 10 more pounds down, but it'll also put me under a 40 bmi.

Yay!
