Its a very interesting read and of course, they use BMI as that is a better indicator for research than weight, due to variation in body size etc. I do feel that some BMI is bullshit, since I really don't even want to be 175lbs, I want to be 195lbs and all the rest of the usual argument, muscle mass etc.
As a result of reading this article I had a look at my BMI changes to give me an indication of my progress.

So I lost 10 points off my BMI score, then gained back 3. I would love to lose another 10 points off this BMI of 38 down to a BMI of 29 (190lbs) or 31 (205lbs). This is the range that I am shooting for anyway.
I have started to track my food again, and make better choices for the interim and "work my sleeve". As I said - I am not good at this, and now I am often hungry and don't feel full. Which is my kryptonite. Last night I was hungry after dinner (6oz of beef and 1.2C of veggies). So that is a problem for me. This morning since breakfast I've been thinking about food nonstop except for the 45min meeting that I was in.
I have 10min before I can eat my lunch, countdown is on.
