Underweight, Overweight...what's a healthy weight?
on 12/8/14 6:36 am - Canada
According to this calculator I'm underweight.
According to BMI calculators I'm mid-range normal.
According to me I'm a bit under 5-10 lbs.
According to my doctors I don't need to be concerned, yet.
lol I'm so confused...I guess I know I'm no longer overweight!
The right weight is the proper size jeans that fit you well in the brand you like.......for years and years !!!
I think you look great right there !!!!
Congrats on your year.... I remember your complications and you did not have it easy !

Congrats!! You look perfectly healthy where you are. Have you had your body fat measured? That may be a good measurement to use. I think you should just keep doing what you are doing. Our bodies seem to stop losing on their own.

I don't trust the wrist measurement for frame size which throws off the first calculator listed. When I was fat my fingers didn't touch, now they overlap. What am I supposed to make of that other than "frame size" is BS? I'm just to the right of "normal" by the BMI calculators these days. My Doctors are happy with where I am. As far as MY preference, I could be 5 pounds lighter to land smack in the middle of "healthy" for BMI, but I don't care to starve to get there. As long as I stay between 130 and 145 (I'm 5'6" and was 141 and change last weekend) it's all good.
