Aha! Reached another milestone. The BMI is now under 41!
Next milestone in 0.8 lbs, when I’ll have removed 75. After that in 0.7 lbs I’ll see a number on the scale I haven’t seen in many many years.
And after THAT… Well, coming up in a few milestones from now is a really really BIG milestone in this whole BMI-chasing project, because (in 6.1 lbs from now), I will officially be OUT of the “morbid obesity”, “severe obesity”, and “class III obesity” categories, and in simply “class II obesity.” Which is a big, big, big deal health-wise.
I can’t wait.
But one step at a time. I’ll focus on getting the 0.8 off for now.

Wahoo! Now how will you celebrate?

Hmm. Not sure. Any suggestions?
A “not-over-the-hill” or rather, “not-so-soon-to-be-under-it” party? With black crepe paper and a casket-shaped cake with lilies on it and out-of-season Halloween decorations like skeletons and gravestone rubbings?
You tell me! 🙂

I totally understand the “getting out of the 40’s” thing. Once I got into the 30’s, I felt like a skinny B. It was so huge for me, and I was like, who I do tell? Can I really go to work and say “Hey you guys, my BMI is 36!” 🙂 ha ha….Great job on this, I’ve enjoyed reading up on your blog today. Thanks for acquainting yourself to me, I look forward to walking the rest of the journey with you….

Since you work in a hospital, I imagine you *COULD* go up to people and say, “hey, my BMI is 36!” 🙂
I don’t work in health care, but I do it anyway, ‘cuz I need to keep my support network interested and informed… 😉
Had fun reading up on your blog, too. I like your sense of humor and attitude.

BMI 40.94 I was just amazed at all the hard work you’ve been up to Fitness Room, Riding 20 miles on a bike, dieting. Keep up the good work we would like to have you around for a very long time. This is my first time on a blog. I’m not certain what to do. I was just going to tell you that I read a wonderful book
Alex and Me.

Hi Pat!
Good to hear from you!
Yes, I’m working on trying to improve my life expectancy and quality of life… This time hopefully for the LAST time! 😮 I haven’t gone 20 miles on a bike yet, though.
I’ll look into Alex and Me.
Give everyone at home my regards! 🙂
