Interestingly, I just checked and I'm still overweight according to the new BMI. I wouldn't say I am in general, but my waist is still much too big. That plus being busty is probably what's tipping me over the edge. And of course, the BMI is a bit fuzzy around the edges anyway. But since I weigh myself first thing in the morning, after going to the loo, wearing no more than my jammies, it's going to be a good few pounds less than my weight would be at the doctor's, and I think that's the weight the BMI is built around, not the dieter's way of weighing yourself. I'm not particularly fussed, my weight is more of an indicator of progress than a number to obsess over.
Everyone is telling me I'm getting too thin now. My belly still measures in the 40's. My Doctor wants it down to 35 max. I just used that new BMI and I'm at a healthy weight. (Thanks for posting that Esofia)
Esofia - that bread sounds delicious! And I'm doing the same thing, with deciding my ultimate goal weight as I proceed. Congrats on your losses!
HabakukTwo - Yay, YOU! That's a big deal, for sure! Your hard work is paying off.
Dynx - I'm always interested to hear about friends' and family's reactions to people losing weight. You deserve congratulations, because I know how much planning and effort and change went into this for you! Your journey is inspirational, and your encouragement really helps make this a nice place to be.

That bride must be an adventurous, creative person! Very original.
I stopped weighing myself for this month. I have big dinner plans for every week this month. I don't know how I will get throught it all.
I know the feeling! Didn't lose my point four pounds last week. But I'd rather have fun spending time with family and friends, and concentrate on goals more after all the merry-making in the month of May is over.
But I'll try to get as close as I can before these special days arrive each week. This week I was point eight pounds away on the official weigh-in day!

I want to weigh 115 pounds this time. I look really wrinkled from illness so I need some weight on me at this age just to stop the wrinkles on top of wrinkles.
Congrats on your losses!
