GilmoreGirl's Journal, 17 January 2011

Remember those progress photos that I take every ten pounds in my size 20 jeans and my pink sports bra?

I am now only .8 a pound away from taking the next set! And I have no doubt whatsoever that I will make that goal (155.0) this week. I'm so excited to be at the top of Weight Watchers' healthy weight range.

Which I always assumed was a healthy BMI, but I just found out that my top weight for a healthy BMI is 154, not 155... a fact that I am going to try to completely ignore, since I have been so focused on "155" for so long.

I will be celebrating 155 as if it is a healthy BMI for me, regardless of the facts... by the way, WW, why do you have 155 as a "healthy" weight if 154 is the real healthy weight??

Yes, I'm bothered that 154 should be my new 155... but I really want to celebrate being "normal" at 155, and WW tells me that I can, so THERE. :-)

Anyway, I will be posting updated progress pictures next weekend.

I lost 1.2 last week!!! I am absolutely thrilled to finally have surpassed my pre-christmas low weight of 156.8 by an entire pound. I'm so happy to be back on the weight-loss path.

155.8 lb Lost so far: 48.2 lb.    Still to go: 11.8 lb.    Diet followed 100%.

My understanding is that BMI is a relatively old standard (there are several formulas evidently) and does not take frame size into consideration (considered somewhat newer). Frame size, though, is not easily determined and is a bit vague. I suspect that the WW weight is fine but feel that, in time, you will want to pull yourself down to the middle of your BMI weight because you will find that it makes you feel a bit more secure. Anyway, I wouldn't pay *too much* attention to this as it's not really that important. It's more important to listen to your body when you get to this point IMHO. Keep up the good work GG!
