It’s no surprise to anyone that has known me more than a year that I used to be big, as in obese, as in severely/morbidly obese depending on how you looked at it. My body mass index was 39.3. Per the wiki on Obesity:
- Any BMI ≥ 35 or 40 is severe obesity
- A BMI of ≥ 35 or 40–44.9 or 49.9 is morbid obesity
- A BMI of ≥ 45 or 50 is super obesity
My current BMI is 22.9, I put on a few pounds in the past week 😐 . As best as I can tell, I am down to about 30 lbs of fat, which is far below where I started. Due to my recent weight gain, I have felt motivated to do _________ about it. I recently came upon a post on reddit:
ᔥ Looking in the couch : hardbodies
Someone posted who she was, and my research ensued. She has an active facebook following:

Just wow. No BS, no gimmicks, truth, self determination, self control. She is such an inspiration. If she can look that good at 44, I wonder how good I can look by 34. It needs to be a very personal challenge for a leaner self. WWCTD?
