Oh wow! @Cheeseburgh shared this new tool on another thread and I thought it was so awesome, that I wanted to start a new thread where we can come do our tests and post them so we can keep track of our progress!!

It's called the Smart Body Mass Index and is supposed to take into account your personal metrics. So go ahead, let's try it out and see if we think it's accurate! I love mine. Let's all post our reports!

Here's the LINK!!

Thanks for sharing the link Cheeseburgh!!!

Well, I think you are doing something pretty awesome. Cuz others will be able to look at what you've done and be helped by it. Cuz all the time we read here about people needing a revision but are afraid to do it for fear of losing more weight! The struggle to maintain is real! ((hugs))

Thanks ? that's why i decided to try and share my experience.

I don't think I've seen many people needing a revision without hoping to lose more weight. When I was looking through threads it was usually a mix of GERD/substantial regain but that could be because they are the most vocal.

I can only think of 3 people needing revision while already at goal ?

? yes you are ?

BMI 37, Score 50/70. Obese, recommended weight loss. It said my goal weight of 135 is overly aggressive. But, we’ll see. I’m halfway there now.

I actually take this score as winning. I am SO HAPPY to be out of the super morbidly obese range, forever. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted (har har har, I crack myself up).

I also loved being able to see their recommendation of losing weight, and instead of hanging my head like “I know, I know”, my mental dialogue was “on it!”. It’s comforting knowing that I’m utilizing the tool that is most likely to lead to long term success.

No of course there aren't as many, and many more are probably lurking. But I see it in the FB groups too. At least once per week, and that tells me it's bound to be a consideration.

I think being at goal and struggling to keep your weight up has got to be scary. (Although I would love to experience that for about a week... ) And then to add to that a surgery that isn't only restrictive, but malabsorptive...Ring. Ring...Hello stress?? I'm gonna need a bigger boat...

Well there's always peanut butter ?

Yeah, my goal weight according to charts would be 115. Which, uh, seems low.

OMG! *notworthy* *notworthy*

We are SOOO different! You had surgery 2 weeks ago and can handle nut butter. I had surgery 17 almost 18 months ago and "real" nut butter still gives me issues if my serving isn't tiny. I handle peanut butter powder fine though! Score! So I think it's a fat thing and then it leads to RH? Dunno.

But at 3-4 weeks out, I still remember the horror of trying both peanut butter and almond butter.

So glad it works for you!!!! Wooohooo!
