Thanks, Bizi. I've lost about 45 pounds, as of today. Will likely be down another 1.5-2.0 lbs by May 22. I've changed my weight loss goal, as I find that I need to continue the journey.
My BMI went from OBESE to OVERWEIGHT, and is now in the HEALTHY range. However, my body fat percentage, my weight-height ratio, and my weight-hip ratio are still too high. They still consider me to be "at risk" for some health problems.
I also still have some "muffin top" (love handles) that I need to get rid of. It has become more about health, though, than about appearance or scale numbers for me at this point.
Might try to lose another 15-20 lbs after I reach my initial 50 lb goal. However, it's more important to me to get my body fat percentage down and to reduce waist size.
