Do I stop chasing BMI now I’m basically there?
I know smart scales can be out, especially with body fat, muscle, water etc., so I’m not treating every number as gospel.
But BMI is at least a fixed calculation, and mine is now showing 25.1, so I’m literally just outside the “healthy” range. I’ve been tracking this for nearly a year and, over time, most of the boxes on the app have gradually moved from yellow/red into green, which has been quite motivating to see.
Current stats are 77.9kg, BMI 25.1, body fat around 19.9%, and visceral fat 8.
Part of me wants to push to around 76kg just to be properly inside the healthy BMI range, but another part of me thinks I’m maybe at the stage where I should stop chasing the number and maintain based on how I look, how clothes fit, and how I feel.
Has anyone else reached this point and decided “this is enough now” even if BMI was still borderline?
