I have a set of those digital, Bluetooth bathroom scales on which one must use bare feet. That allows them to calculate a whole load of stats other than just how heavy one is. I couldn't imagine not having access to all those numbers this winter. So, I brought the scales along for our winter away! I did hold off on bringing along the kitchen sink.
Today, I moved from the obese category to merely overweight. Back on July 27 of last year my BMI was recorded as 34.1 Using a Body Mass Index is not a perfect way to choose a suitable weight but it is a great screening tool. Today's score of 29.9 is hardly something to brag about, but it feels like it's taken a while to get here.
I've been taking Ozempic since last summer, primarily as a means to bring down my A1c results of last spring showing a pre-diabetic 6.2. The weight loss side-affect of the Semaglutide injections has likely made moving from 102.1 kg (225 lbs.) to 89.5 kg (197 lbs.) less of a chore.
Getting rid of an extra 28 lbs. seems pretty good until I realize there's a months-long road ahead. I still have to drop more than that amount again to get to my weight goal of 75 kg (165 lbs.).
