Default when do you hit your next BMI "section"

I finally had a whoosh this week and lost 2.8 lb (which is a TON for my snail paced weight loss). I realized I only have 14 lbs til I'm at a normal BMI for the first time in over 5 years!!!!

I was SO excited when I moved from the obese to overweight section of the chart. Which one will you move into next and how much do you need to lose to get there?

I don't get down to overweight until 168* pounds BUT this past week I went from being in the 40's in BMI to 39.8, so that in itself is big progress. I guess I have about 40 pounds to go before I qualify as overweight


* sorry for the typo on this earlier - I hit overweight at 168, NOT 268!

I'm currently at morbidly obese and in 9 (197) pounds I'll be just regular obese (pft). Then when I get to 169 (37 more lbs from now or 26 lbs after), I'll be overweight. At 140 I'll be at a healthy weight woo!

I'll be at "normal" in about 15-20 lbs, depending on what chart you look at! I'm a really slow loser but I know I'll get there eventually.

im such a slow loser too, losing almost 3 lbs in a week was the most ive lost in months. i typically lose 0.5 to 1 lb/week. i cant wait to get to a normal BMI, but i have a feeling im gonna have to wait quite a while.

I just went from "morbidly obese" to "severely obese", or some consider it just "obese". Yay!

Next goal to just being overweight....57 pounds to hit 174. It will get there
