Please don't let them get you down!
You've done an amazing thing, and you should be ecstatic. Give yourself a big pat on the back from me!
The most gratifying thing in the world is achieving your goals. And you are. Good for you.
IMHO, you don't really care what some generalized index says. Not deep inside. Because if you did, you wouldn't be on an LC program. Remember, the 'official' good nutritional guidelines say you should be eating hi-carb, and low-fat.
So if you must, use BMI as one guideline among many. But remember what you already know: it doesn't take muscle vs. fat into consideration, nor other measures of health and fitness.
And the real bottom line is - how do you feel? And how do you feel about the way you look?
Anyway, I'm excited by your success
