Default Normal BMI...sort of!

I got on the wii fit today and it said I had a normal BMI! I am trying not to negate a HUGE positive, but I also feel the need to say a couple of things about this, both positive and negative.

1. When I started weighing on the Wii, I selected -2 pounds for clothes. And it typically does weigh me 2 pounds less than my work scale (which obviously I am not on naked) and I generally go by my work scale. So although it weighed me at 155, I am really 157, so not officially normal BMI.

2. Iweighed myself after I ate, so that is heavier than I normally weigh myself, though not by much.

3. I don't think the wii computes BMI correctly because it had it at 24. Something and 155 is 25 on the nose.

Anyway, even if you take into account all of the negating factors, I am certain that I will be unquestionably a normal BMI by my birthday, which was my goal.

Way to go! I'm just waiting to get out of the "morbidly obese" category. I have about 7 more pounds to go before my BMI is less than 40.

I'm looking so forward to it! I'm about 10 pounds behind you, adjusting for height.
