Double Trouble: 60 Lbs Gone and "Normal" BMI Today!

fireflyfaster · 11-05-2009, 10:58 AM

It's a big day in Fireflyville.

My 60th pound dropped me below a 25 Body Mass Index, making me fall in the tippy tippy top of the "normal" range. I only crossed over from "obese" to "overweight" in July.

I'm heading for a BMI of 22, somewhere around 150.

Sixty pounds in less than seven months! Size 22 to 12! Low carb, gotta love it!

AWESOME!

60 pounds in 7 months is amazing! I am thrilled for you.
