That's why I got a body fat test with those horrible caliper things vs BMI test because everybody has different bone density, muscle density, etc. One person's 175 might be different than another's, hence getting personally tested as opposed to the generalized BMI.
Thanks for all the support! I want to make sure I am doing it right and what works for me is instead of focusing on the weight the BMI tells me I SHOULD be, I want to be at a weight where I feel comfortable and happy. And of course, having the supervision of a doctor and trainer to make sure I'm doing it right.
