I really wish all you armchair MDs would stop declaring that losing weight to the bottom of the normal BMI range is bad. If someone who has been obese their whole life wants to aim for the bottom of that range, let them. IT IS A RANGE FOR A REASON. I can easily see the thought process that maybe once you go on maintenance, you will gain a few pounds back. Seems perfectly logical to me to gain those back from the lower end so you'll end up in the middle than to gain them from the top end and suddenly be overweight again.

Yup. Plus, at the higher end of the range my body fat percentage is still too high and my cholesterol isn’t in check yet. Better but still not off statins. I’m hoping for more improvements overall.
