Congrats dude! That's pretty awesome! That's close to 5 lbs a week! Sheesh!
Nah dude, not sad at all. I hate bmi anyway. And I think my goal puts me at overweight as well.
The wonderful part about weight loss is always the time when you have recently started, because the weight seems to absolutely fly off and I am still in that phase. Though this time is completely different, it is flying off because of a combination of a radical dietary change and constant and rigorous exercise where every time prior to now it has pretty much been because it was waaaaay too much weight in the first place.
BMI is a deceptive thing, and I will make my final decision when I reach my goal weight as to whether I will keep attempting at a loss or be satisfied, my health is the real determining factor for the be all to end all goal. If I feel healthy at the supposed "overweight" BMI, to hell with what that formula says.
@cameraobscura - I have been on scales that do the exact same thing, one minute you are one weight, step off, step on, you weigh more/less. Kind of nutty. As long as you are confident with your weight, screw what the numbers say.
------------------------------------
On the note of numbers though, today I am down to 204. My only real goal for the month of August I had set was to at least be under 200, and I now have 31 days to do that, a rediculous amount of time to lose 5 pounds. I think that I may be able to be at my next intermediate goal by the time August is said and done, and that is to be down to 190. No doubt, that will be a lot of weight lost, an unhealthy amount, but I am doing so in a healthy way, so *shrug*. We will see when the end of August gets here.
Hope everyone has some great plans for the weekend coming up and the first weekend of August no less. Try and make it count but not in a way that you will regret, hehe.
Cheers everyone!
