    Default Normal BMI !

    Hallo!
    I went for another follow up with my surgeon today and my BMI is now in the normal range!!! I never even thought about that but was so pleased when he told me. Unfortunatly my cholesterol which intially went down a heap has shot up again so it's statins for me. Totally genetic, I even had high cholesterol when I was vegan for a while. So it's statins for me!
    Otherwise all good :-)

    So happy for you! We must have the same genetics, as I went off my cholesterol meds for three months after surgery and the number went sky high again. So it was back to meds for me too, but cool that at least we gave it a try.

    My dad outlived his 4 brothers and died in his 60's. He was healthy, small, and walked every day. I'm 61. Totally staying on my meds! Anyone who says it's only what you eat is wrong.

    Congrats!

    I am not as lucky.... My current weight / height sits me at "overweight"! Just goes to show you that BMI is a terrible indicator of true weight/fitness.

    I had my body fat tested the other day. 7%!!! Yet BMI says I'm overweight. 7% body fat puts me in the elite athlete category!
    LOVING MY NEW LIFE!!!!

    "Never take life to seriously, no one gets out alive anyway!"

    Remember, in this thing, it's a good thing to be a loser!




    High Weight - 317
    Pre Surgery Weight - 291
    Current Weight - 181 OMG
    Target Weight -205 That's right, 205!!!!

    I agree. And my partner is pleased i have seen the light as she has been offering me statins for a few years! Sometimes it's genetics, I've accepted that now :-)
