I just realized that my BMI is dropping (obviously with the change in weight it will). However, I only recently started using the tracking system that shows my BMI so I went back to see what it was when I started.
At 250 lbs my BMI was 39.2
As of today at 217.5 lbs it is 34.1
It's decreased by over 5! Wow.
To put it in perspective....
At my goal of 150 lbs, it would be 23.5.
BMI Categories are as follows:
BMI Categories: - Underweight = under 18.5
- Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
- Overweight = 25–29.9
- Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
So I'm still in the Obesity range, but at 191 pounds I would have a BMI of 29.9, officially NOT obese, just Overweight. At 159 lbs it will be 24.9 and I'll be an official "normal weight".
Just interesting to see where my weight falls in "medical terms".
