I looked at my BMI calculator on Myfittnespal.com and it says that I was officially "Overweight" when I hit 185.9 and that Healthy weight for my height is between 114.6-154.9, so Based on MY goal of 150 I would be in the healthy range by 4.9lbs, so I guess what my Dr. made my goal of 130 was in the middle of the Healthy BMI range which is Logicial, but I just dont know how I would Look at 130 that is insane.
We will see, we will see....

You have to do what feels right for you, when the time comes. But it is nice to know that we can be whatever bmi we want to be :)
I know what you mean. I am 5'11 and at 240 lbs I am a size 16, according to BMI I should range from 130 to 170, I would be a stick figure at 130 lbs, Sometimes I think that BMI stuff is seriously flawed and mostly an excuse to make your insurance rates be higher. Get to a weight that makes you happy and screw that BMI
I wouldn't worry too much about the BMI either. However, I'd recommend keeping an open mind. I think sometimes when we've been overweight for so long, "scrawny" starts looking different to us. For what it's worth, I say lose until you're comfortable in your own skin.
Look how close you are to a "normal BMI". That is pretty awesome! It is also cool that there is such a wide range for a healthy BMI and now it makes since why dr. lord would pick 130...still...130 DAMN!
my doctor says that she doesnt go by the charts. its whats a good weight for you, that you aim for.
I posted about this recently - I hate the BMI charts! As my DH says, I am very "dense," muscular and big bones. I have been 130 before, in high school, but that is totally unrealistic for me at 43. I am going with my Doctor's suggested weight of 150 - barely "normal" - for now.
BTW congrats again on your amazing success so far!
That is great about being in the "overweight" category! That's where I am right now as well.
It's hard to know what the right number is for a goal weight. As for me, I still have a bit of extra jiggle on my stomach and thighs and figure that when I look passable in a bikini, my weight loss work is done! :)
Love the more red tint to your hair in the profile pic! You look great!
