(Couldn't find the "Track your Weight Loss" thread)

Took me almost a year & freakin half to lose 40lbs, but I'm finally there - 182! At 6' 0" the Body Mass Index finally sez I'm not overweight!

BMI calculator: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

A BMI of 25 is the cutoff & I'm just under at 24.7. Dang calculator called me obese at a BMI of 30.1 & it pissed me off. So for all you weight-losers out there - don't give up! It can be done - there's light at the end of the tunnel!

Doesnt take muscle mass into account. I am 5'9 and there's no way i will ever be under 200 lb's. I dont want to be. lol. I started lifting again, and there's just no way. Even when i was in shape when i was in my early 20's i never broke 200 becuase of muscle mass.

Muscle weighs more than fat. the above post has been quoted for truth.
