Effective 7/1/2011, all members who have a BMI (body mass index) of 40% or higher, will be moved to the 70/30 plan and will have to cover dependants as listed for the smokers above. Then in 2012, they will lower the BMI to 30 or 35% restrictions.Ironically, I was looking at DBF disqualifyers last night and said to myself I need to get below 231 so I'll be eligible for health insurance if I ever get laid off or I become self employed. Seems like I need to do it even if I stay at my current employer. A BMI of 40 means about 231 lbs for me. This is now one of my mini goal. Next will be 205 (BMI 35), then 175 (BMI 30). At 175, I'll be merely overweight, rather than obese. My goal after 150, then 135.

ReplyDeleteWow that's intense about the BMI stuff. I think in someways it makes sense but for some people, weight is a physiological metabolic issue that they can't control and for them I feel sad. But I'm glad that it has motivated you with some mini-goals which seem so doable and so inspirational to me! Keep on trekking :D
