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 !!!

lol frisco...I said to that to my husband!  "These jeans are my ideal weight." Unfortunately they have gotten a bit baggy.  I have a sweater tucked into them to fill them out.

Thanks for the congrats...it's been a roller-coaster of a ride!

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.
