My weight has spiraled due to meds, severe anxiety and depression.

It's been so hard but I've lost 10.5lbs

And taken my BMI from 40.3

To 38.4

I know I've a long way to go but last month I thought about corona being dangerous and getting under a 40 BMI would be impossible for me.

I can't wait to get another 3.5lbs and say I've lost a stone! :)

Well done, feeling very envious. I've got 7.5lb to go to get under that BMI of 40 although I've come down from a BMI of 45!

Hope you are feeling good Smile and good luck with the next stage

Smile A big achievement. Well done.

I've just over 1st to lose to get into the healthy bracket. It's really difficult and I'm not losing any at the momentSad

ContessaferJones · 13/05/2020 12:33

Excellent work, well done!

NerforMuffin · 13/05/2020 12:50

Thankyou so much!

Once I'm a few St down I'm not going to pay too much attention to BMI simply because on my wedding day I was 11st and very slim but still classed as overweight via BMI.
I want to be 12 stone down from 17.4st
