Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 167 lb (BMI %tile: 81), Goal: 150 lb - so i went online and looked at a BMI calculator. apparantly all i have to lose is 3 more pounds to be considered "normal weight". but it would be one pound short of being overweight lol so at 164lbs i will no longer be overweight. are u kidding me??? ive never been considered normal weight. I am so happy my dreams are coming true it took so long but im getting there. only 17 pounds left and this journey comes to an end. but my journey as a slim healthy person begins. ahh im so excited. if i can do it anybody can. seriously. good luck guys!!:)

CONGRATS!!!! You can totally do this, I'm so excited for you! Personally I don't trust the calculators. I talked to my doc to figure out my goal weight.

that's great!! you know that happened with me too when I got down to 159 my weight was considered healthy for my age and height...but now I've shot right back up again and am in the overweight category :( ...I'm going to give up though. I have to get down again. If I did once, I could do it again right? well congrats and 3 lbs is nothing! you're practically there already =)
