I'm not a believer of the BMI index, I think its a little overrated. If you excercise and weigh more because of muscle mass you are usually a higher BMI number and considered overweight because the BMI does not take lean tissue into consideration. This was me before pregnancy. I was in the "overweight" catagory. I know I needed or wanted to lose 10-15lbs back than but I would never think I was overweight.
So today my BMI is....35. I'm obese. How depressing is that. I don't think I look obese. I'm definitely overweight but the word obese has much more meaning to me in a negative way.
Obese-very fat, stout, corpulant
Maybe because when I hear the word obese I think of the severely obese and I take offense to something considering me in this cateogory.
Well the only thing I can do is continue on and get that number from obese to overweight to healthy weight.
