Its Official

I'm still obese. LOL. Check out your BMI at this website. Good thing is it agrees with me on how much weight I need to lose. 29 pounds. And, it tells me I need 1932 calories a day to lose 2.5 pounds a month. Cool.

Wes,
Nobody's perfect - I'm still figuring that part out. You'll get there - we all will!

Heck, by BMI I am on the high end of normal edging to overweight. They don't count muscle vs fat. Not that I don't believe I am normal and need to drop a few lb to be "more" normal:) But the caloric formula is a great help! As long as you'd be willing to count every piece.

I agree with Olga! Muscle accounts for much of this... as does body type/bone structure. The most important part is that you're doing all the right things to get to your target BMI already!

You are in good company! I am obese as well. *sigh* I don't feel obese anymore, but none the less I still need to lose 30 pounds.

I just had the school nurse do my bmi and it was 22, and i do have a fat ass, so I don't think it really counts either, because supposedly 22 is good, I don't know!

WOW! I believe most of the time that the BMI is a bunch of b.s. Keep up the hard work. You can get there.

I'm too chicken to look at mine...

You have the goal in sight. You've already shown how you can take a goal and go after it with your running.

Keep up the good work!
