I'm just curious what is the definition of a lightweight? Is it under a hundred pounds to lose, or a hundred and fifty? My Dr. called me a lightweight I have a 110 to lose. I din't know?

Technically, it is someone with a BMI between 35 and 40ish. But personally, I think it is more of an attitude. Welcome to the lightweights and feel free to come back as often as you wish.
