I've come a realization: BMI really doesn't work for me

Get to 155 and see how you feel- then you keep living the lifestyle and if you lose then you lose and if you feel great and you are healthy and feel sexy and fit and lean and strong- then be happy! Just keep going- it will work itself out when you get there-

(I know they're not going to be very accurate, and I'm sure it could differ for different people, but just curious!)

Now, you have a VERY muscular body, and in your progress pictures, you look so much smaller than your weight! I would guess you probably 25 pounds less than you are. So don't despair, like everyone has said, the number on the scale is just one little aspect of this journey to health and fitness. You're doing fantastic!!

Hey girl sorry I haven't been online! So I did a couple of online calculators and it's only off around 3-5% more than what I'm actually at! Interesting! I'm at 37% and I got anywhere from 40% to 42% with the online calculators.
