How Did You Pick Your Goal BMI?



Recommended Posts

Did your Dr. pick it for you(or help you pick it) ? Did you just have one in mind? The BMI you were before kids? Something more interesting ?

I had a number in mind....the nutrionist gave me a number that was HIGHER than what my goal was...so, I figure I will just take it as it comes and see who ends up being right! Ha ha!

I didn't pick a BMI I let my body tell me when I felt truly comfortable in my skin. Good advice "take it as it comes".

Just relax, follow your plan (find one that works for You!), and last stay off the scale try to weigh monthly.

(AND keep logging/postng on VST)

My doctor didn't give a goal BMI yet, I chose the highest normal BMI.

My Dr. asked me how much I wanted to lose and what my goal weight should be. We went from there. I took a weight that was in the middle of the BMI range for me. It isn't a weight that I have been at in a very long time and was exactly 100 lbs from where I started from.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
