Don't know how to say this without offending... 187 doesn't sound like you are very overweight - I guess it depends on how tall you are...
I don't mean to be rude or discouraging, I just got the impression from all your posts on weight that you were larger - my bad, sorry 
Are you being realistic to say you need to lose 40 lb or do you think that your self image is still a bit messed up (you said you had a ED when you were younger) |
Actually, 40 lbs is down to the upper limit of normal weight - not to the "ideal" weight. So it is not an overstatement.
Today the BMI is 30.64. If I manage to lose a few more pounds on Metformin, the BMI would be <30. And that would mean not obese but "just" overweight, that would be good.
I have seen such morbidly obese people at the grocery store today, both men and women, that I became a little ashamed. I am svelte in comparison yet I worry so much. I felt very very sorry for them.
