I decided to make BMI my line in the sand because it is inflexible and I can't rationalize that a wider range is okay or that my arbitrary goal was too low. As of this morning, my BMI is 26.0 (it was 33.9 last summer). When I get below 25, I probably won't look any different than I do now. I am still committed. Also, I am a male with a normal sized build and not heavily muscled. BMI is accurate for me.
