Whos BMI is no longer "obese"?

[338Shooter]

My number goal is 180ish. I'm going to continue eating the proper amount of food and riding my bike and the scale will say what the scale says.

The BMI scale is pretty unreal for tall people.

No kidding, I've lost 70+lbs and I'm still not near it.
I just want to feel better, which I do.
I figure another 20-30 lbs. should do.
BMI can kiss my plump butt.

I'm about in the same boat. I'm down roughly 70 in the last couple years and have some to go. At 19/20 years old I was 6' and about 210 or so, but I had very little fat on my body. I didn't finish "growing" till i was 23 or 24 (adding about 2" to my shoulder width), so 210 would be a rather low weight for me.

BMI doesn't take into account physique.

I mean, look at Wolverine, he weighs like 800 pounds.



Keep up the good work dustin! I use to bike a lot and I've considered it, but in T-town it seems like a death sentence...

Good job, Dustin! When I weighed this morning, I came in at 171.6 lbs with a height of 5'9". That put me at a BMI of 25.3, so I'm almost there! I've dropped around 60 lbs since January 2012.
