I am currently 5'4 and 270 pounds. I was told my goal weight was between 175 and 220 pounds. They explained that the BMI was used to determine HOW overweight I was to begin with but would not be used to determine what weight I should be at.
Confusing I think.

OK, so if I started at 278, and 134 is top of normal BMI (I'm 5' 1.5"), that's 144 lbs to get to normal BMI. 65% of that is around 93 lbs. So I would be considered a success once I lose 93 lbs. Sound right? Wow, those numbers sound overwhelming. Doable, but still overwhelming.
Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
