Chart Weight

[Guest guest]

I wanted to ask a question ... but I'm concerned that it may upset some of

you -- so please know that I ask this out of curiosity, not malice.

What I want to know, is how many of us have reached " chart weight " as a

result of their WLS -- and maintained it for a period of time. By " chart

weight " I

mean, a BMI of 25 or less. I understand that " goal weight " may be a

different idea for each of us; that for some, it is the point where our health

is

dramatically improved, or that we are physically comfortable. I also know, that

for some of us, excess skin and bone density may play a role in making the

numbers on the scale, or the BMI calculation " meaningless. "

That said -- who is at " chart weight? "
