Fantastic achievement - very well done

That's absolutely wonderful Julie : D

You must feel great to have control back in your life and be achieving your goals.

I like to think of weight lost in terms of tubs of margarine - you have a large stack of them to reflect on!!

Best wishes as you continue your journey.

Congratulations Julie!

Well done you, what a fabulous achievement ..... onwards & downwards lovely lady

He just told me to lose as much as possible. My doctor said they would probably be fine with a BMI below 40, better yet below 35, obviously absolutely fine with 25 but that would stretch the time too far.
I am hoping to knock half a BMI point off before I see him in 3 weeks, and going by how slow the NHS is, be below the 35 mark before the actual surgery.

You must be so relieved to have reach your primary target, I seem to remember you were really worried about that. Next goal, reaching 35

By the way, does anybody know how many pounds/kilos one need to lose to lose 1 BMI point

Living proof if ever there was someone!! Well done!!

The amount of weight needed to change by 1 BMI point depends on your height! Multiply your height in metres by itself to get the number of kg that equals 1 BMI point (e.g. 1.7 x 1.7 = 2.89).
