I have a bmi of 35.3 or around that. I am 5'2" and 195 pounds. I have major joint issues been on pain meds for 3 years. I want off the weight loss yo yo. I have been as low as 125 but then 6 month to a year later I am back up to an unhealthy weight. I was told not to lose weight so my bmi drops below 35.
