I just HAVE to brag on this .... as of this morning, I have broken into the "not overweight" category for my height, according to WHO, CDC, etc... just under 169 pounds, a hair less than the 25 BMI cutoff. Of course, now I can't gain even 1/2 a pound or I will have an existential crisis, but.... for the first time in almost 25 years, I am not "overweight." My goal weight is still a little bit away, but I will get there soon

BTW, there is a more generous age-adapted "overweight" cutoff at http://www.smartbmicalculator.com/ . But given that at my current weight, my waist measurement is exactly half of my height, I am happy to stick with the traditional SDC/WHO definitions.
