Wow. I don't think words quite cover how impressed I am with your dedication and honesty. I too am training to compete again one day, and I already find the BMI a bit wacky. I wear size 10-12 and it places me in the overweight range. Too much muscle is always better than too much fat. So I ignore the BMI, and the scales at times too.
Anyway, enough about me. Well done on your efforts, train hard - and all the best!

Mark, your story is beautiful. I admire your ability to change in an unsupportive environment. Your daughter is very beautiful and very fortunate to have such an awsome dad. God Bless!

I don't think that you went too far... and while you look ok to me, my opinion is that you could still lose 5-10 lbs.
