Has anyone came down from a BMI of 50 or higher? What's your BMI now?

I started the year with a BMI of 56.3 and now am at 46. I am 13 weeks post-surgery and have lost 55 pounds so far. I was surprised at how quickly your BMI improves.

My surgery is not until the 16th, but my BMI is 55. I am hoping to be able to lose enough weight to be in the "normal" range.

I started at a BMI of 52 and am currently at 36!!

HW 340

SW 295

CW 247

Started at 55, but have lost about 80#. Still have a long way to go.

Glad you are here...

I am on my phone and cannot see my ticker, but my BMI was 51 (I think) and now close to 40. I have a lot more to lose, but I have been so happy with my results so far.

That's so awesome! I'm really excited about having surgery! I'm private pay so I can't have the surgery until I get all of my money but I'm shooting for October, and I'm so ready! My bmi is a 52 and I'm hoping it comes down drastically!

My BMI was 55 when I started, I've lost 103lbs and it's now 40.6.. Work in progress but this girl is breaking barriers

Awesome results everyone, gives me even more hope for myself. Way to go!!!

My bmi was 54 in December 2012 and is now 31! :-) I have only a little more to go before just overweight! Lol

I can't wait to be in the "normal" range. That's my true goal. To not be morbidly obese, obese, or even overweight. But normal. I have to believe it's possible!!!

Well I doubt if I'll ever be "normal". But I want to weigh the normal amount... :-)
