How heavy was I?

At 21 I was 5’7” and 105kgs – this translates to a BMI of 36 kg/m2 – i.e., OBESE. Owing to immense banter from friends and family, I was under pressure to lose the extra weight I was carrying. The ideal weight for that age and height is 75-85kgs, but medical recommendation is around 65-75kgs. So I had to lose almost 25kgs+ - that’s a lot of weight. Picturesquely,

(Around 230 pounds in 2/2001)
