I hadn't checked my BMI in a while, so I just did and discovered that according to the chart, (drumroll please) Range Meaning less than 18.5 Underweight 18.5 - 24.9 Normal 25.0 - 29.9 Overweight 30.0 - 34.9 Obese 35.0 - 39.9 Severely Obese 40.0 - 50 Morbidly Obese over 50 Super Obese I am OVERWEIGHT!!!

Odd thing to celebrate, isn't it?? I bet my BMI hasn't been that low in 20 years! Joy -43 lbs

Congrats Joy!! I am still Super Obese, but it's down from 73.5 to 60.5 -- quite impressive, if you ask me!! I still have a long way to go, but I'm getting there!! Tammy -43 lbs.

35.7. Closing in on that next category! Woohoo. It takes lot to get down to the merely overweight place. I don't think I've been there since my teens and I would say I can taste it, but, er, that's the wrong metaphor these days. Really going nuts trying to estimate what dress size I will be in late July for my vacation though. So far, I've dropped sizes faster than I thought. And, though I haven't bought too many things I've had to get rid of, I'm wondering how daring I can be in projecting the size I'll be in late July. It's always been a pressure to buy "thin" clothes and hard to get it through my head that I probably will wear these. Do you know any rule of thumb for estimating? Gano
