Ahhh! so I was curious about my BMI because when i first started weight watchers my BMI was 28. Which was in the overweight category. Before that and before my yearly summer weight loss I weighed 187 which gave me a BMI of 29.3. oh lord just .7 more and I would have been called "Obese". Woah America. But now, since I've lost 23 pounds America says I'm healthy...wow. I'd still love not to be so close to the over weight category. But still this is something to celebrate.
