So from day one I said that I didnt really have a specific goal weight in mind, just wanted to loose enough to consider myself healthy. My surgeon set a goal of 140, which I thought was reasonable but a long way away. Another user posted this BMI chart so I thought i'd set myself some small goals based on BMI, rather than pounds. I'd really like to see my BMI get down into the high twenties. So here goes!
