BRAG: Lost 30 pounds in 5 weeks

[Tickner]

I have never been a fan of BMI measures simply because it doesn't factor in a lot of very important variables. BMI is simply saying if you are 6 feet you should weigh x. If you weigh over y you are obese.

Athletes have more than the average amount of muscle mass and therefore BMI calculates them as "at risk" even though they are in top physical shape.

I'm not saying I wasn't overweight (In fact I am saying the opposite and I still have more to go). But there is def a big diff between obesity and over weight. FWIW I would not be scared/embarrased to tell people on an internet forum I was obese, seriously.
