I checked my BMI on several sites' calculators & got the same result: 29.7, which they all say is (just barely) out of the "you are officially obese" category.
It feels like a minor victory. I had said when I first started here that what kicked my butt in gear was an upcoming family reunion, and that's true. But a close second was being able to prove on paper (for ins. cos. & the like) I've reduced my risk for the various health problems associated with being obese and overweight.
The sites I checked my BMI on were the AARP's; the CDC, the American Heart Assn., & the U.S. gov.'s (I think it was health & human resources).
It's a baby step of relief.
