Today, for the first time in 28 years, I am no longer obese.

0I crossed the obese threshold at 15 years old, as a high school sophomore offensive lineman.
As of my weekly weighing this morning, my BMI is 29.9.
At my heaviest, about 15 years ago, my BMI was 41.
I am now simply very overweight lol
It’s been a lot of drops and plateaus, falling off and on the wagon of eating better and moving around more. But an overall very slow trend down.
I’m not a bodybuilder or anything. Just trying to get to a healthy weight.
My first goal was to not be obese, now my second goal is to not be overweight.

Congrats!!!
I too am on a weight loss journey. I'm about 5 pounds from having a BMI 30, so hopefully that happens soon. My next goal will be to get below 200, which I haven't been in over 30 years.

on 9/10/23 at 8:46 am to LSUFanHoustonThey make weighted vests and some have inserts to add/remove weight.
For CrossFit I believe it’s typically women 12lbs and men 20lbs.
I’m considering getting one. The wife and I are training for a half marathon in a month and I was thinking about getting one to put on for some of the weekday shorter runs.

on 9/10/23 at 3:44 pm to LSUFanHoustonAwesome bro
I will say instead of focusing on not being overweight according to bmi, now that you are no longer obese, focus on adding muscle and getting bodyfat below 20% of next year or two

if you can, find a place that does dexa scan. I know tulane use to do them for free as part of an osto study, used to give a $100 gift card to walmart too lol.
but dexa scan or inbody scan or bod pod would be best. just gives you a starting point, from there, work to improve slowly and consistently over time.
