Today is Tuesday morning, by the end of the day, which will be four days after my last weigh in - I can reasonably assume that I will have lost the 1.6 lbs to be officially in the class I obesity. I am aware that most people aren't screaming from the rooftops about such a dubious achievement. Considering where I started from, you might forgive me for being happy about this.
Obesity classes are determined by BMI (Body Mass Index)
On December 24, 2014 I weighed 309 lbs and my BMI was 41.3 (Obese Class III)
On January 17, 2015 I weighted 284.7 lbs and my BMI was 38.08 (Obese Class II)
I will assume that by days end today, Tuesday, I will be right around 261 lbs or slightly less and my BMI would then 34.9 which would squeeze me into the Obese Class I category.
The next stop on this chart would be to be considered 'only' overweight. In order to be only overweight, I will need get my BMI down to 29.9. This will translate to a weight of 224 lbs.
So, I will have a quite a few weeks to go before I get there.
BMI Classification < 18.5 underweight 18.5–24.9 normal weight 25.0–29.9 overweight 30.0–34.9 class I obesity 35.0–39.9 class II obesity ≥ 40.0 class III obesity
