Re: The odd things we celebrate...

[Guest guest]

Hey Debbie,

Don't get overly hung-up with BMI indicators. So much depends on

your body composition and muscle mass. Let your clothes be the

indicator.

I am in a size 8, but weight 150 lbs and my BMI still shows me as

slightly overweight. What the BMI doesn't indicate is that I am

only 17% body fat and have been doing weight training for over a

year. Muscle weights more then fat. I am at goal at 150 lbs and a

thin 8 (you can check out my picture in our Photo section if you

want.)

Hugs and congrats on movin on down the line

I'd be celebrating too. I have lost about 145 lbs and still haven't

gotten out of the Super Duper Morbidly Obese. I would be overjoyed to be

just Obese.
