LOL! The bible

I started at 209# 38" ,today Im at 195.2 and Im wearing my size 36 relaxed clothes! My goal according to the bmi chart is 160! (who made up this chart?!!) I doubt I can get that low, Im 5'10 and med to large framed. Ive decided to go for 175.

Yeah, those charts are only a guideline. You'll know your goal weight when you reach it. I changed mine a few times, before calling it goal. You've had a fantastic start!
