I had a really rough food week. I don't know what the issue was (stress, most likely) but it was baaaaad. However, inexplicably, my weight was down, down, down. To the point that I told friends "I am losing weight for no reason this week, next week when I'm up and mad, remind me I had a freebie this week". Over the weekend I was up 3 lbs and it looked like my indulgence caught up with me. I gingerly stepped on the scale this morning hoping just to be down those 3 lbs again only to find that I was down ever more. My weight this AM was 217.4. That officially puts me at (nearly) 118 lost.
I also met my goal of being in the 210s by my upcoming trip to Hawaii ::happy dance:: I still have nearly 10 days to go so let's hope I keep it off! Back on the band wagon today!
Today's new low weight also means my BMI is now an even 34. This may not seem notable or exciting but it is because for the first time it means that I'd no longer qualify for the surgery I had. Patients qualify with a BMI of 35 if they have several co-morbidities or at a BMI of 40. To refresh your memories my BMI when I started was 52. Yea.
So, BMI of 34 is still in the obese column but edging towards simply 'overweight'. I'm pretty sure I'll never see a 'normal' BMI - but I think they're flawed and kind of a benchmark not a be all and end all. So, if I managed to get and stay in a low-ish Overweight BMI I'd be thrilled!
