I used BMI as a tool to see how much I was losing since I started eating less, to help me set goals and reach 'healthy' levels. 32->28 took a bit more than a year. I remember I weighted myself because I was able to walk two hours without ankle pain (the last hour was a bitch), and I started doing sports other than sailing/windsurfing/kayaking. The 28->26 took three years, with a lot more sport than I used too. I'm still overweight but my waist/hip ratio is under 1 (barely) and I have less ankle pain and respiratory issues than I used too. I think I really stopped being obese in this range.
