My bmi is 23.5 , and my waist to hip ratio is 52. I think  I go by my waist to hip ratio which makes me overweight. Am I right? I gained 13 lbs this last year but have recently lost 3 lbs on the Amen plan. I was overweight throughout my teens, and 40 lbs heavier than I am now in my 20s. It’s a blessing to be able to eat normal. Although I lost a lot of weight I was never able to eat much just my oatmeal yogurt and a little bit more.  I remember at 13 crying to my dad I want to stay thin but I can’t eat , what’s wrong. I would starve myself on less than 500 calories to maintain my weight , then I started working at a fast food place and just gave in ate a lot of junk and excercised like crazy. I got fat thin  and up and down in weight until my late 20s . I think medication helped. I just want to Thank Tana for getting me off soy , dairy and most grains. I can finally eat a lot and not struggle. Thank you again Melinda
