There are body builders with only 11% body fat who are considered obese according to the BMI chart because their body weight is over a certain amount. But that's just it - the BMI index doesn't take into account muscle mass!
The BMI is just a chart to help suggest what a healthy body weight should be based on your height and age. It doesn't paint the entire picture in your healthy lifestyle or weight loss journey. It is a helpful tool to figure out what you should aim for to maintain a healthy weight.
My ENTIRE LIFE I was always in the overweight / obsese / super obese categories on the body mass index chart.
And that changed today!
Today, for the first time in my life, I am in the "normal" range!!!
It's a small, silly thing to celebrate .. But it actually did mean quite a bit to me. It's pretty exciting to finally be out of those negative categories :)
Until I start putting on muscle mass. Ha ha. But for now, I choose to celebrate! :)
