At one point, I weighed in at about 260. I then started a new job and was far and away the largest person there. I starved myself down to about 225. I maintained that weight for about 2-3 years.
My wife then had gastric bypass surgery and I felt guilty eating a lot in front of her. I ended up losing about 60 pounds, again by starving myself. The last 10 or so pounds I started taking phentermine. At the time, I felt that BMI was the best indicator of proper weight and I was right in the middle of the BMI charts for 6 feet tall. But, I was repeatedly told by people, including my wife that I was too skinny. I ended up putting on about 25 pounds of fat, which is where I am at today.
