Me??? Normal???

I'm normal...I'm normal...I'm normal! Today my BMI is officially 24.9 ! I can't believe it; 9.5 Months post-op! It was 45 when I started my journey. On a side note, I do need to say this: I hate the use of the word "Normal" in the BMI Categories. Why not use "Optimal Weight" or "Target Weight"? Does it mean that those of use who weigh more (or less) are ABNORMAL? I think not.

BMI Categories:

• Underweight = <18.5
• Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
• Overweight = 25-29.9
• Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Being this BMI Index was invented between 1830 and 1850...I feel it's time for change! So...today I am at TARGET WEIGHT !!! I'll never be NORMAL!!! Hugs to all, Karen

HEHE Karen, you're too cute!  Congrats on hitting your target weight, sweetie!  I'm not normal and won't ever be, either!  Nice to know I'll have a partner in crime! 

Thanks Cherie; you're pretty darn cute yourself! Here's no never being normal! Hugs, Karen

Cheers!
