As I do with statistics, I'm going to stick with what I can see with my own two eyes. Right now I can't pinch any 'love handles' even if I bend to the side. There is no excess there. And I can see my abs clearly, so no longer a cover layer of fat there either. I haven't done the electronic thing with my scale to measure inter-organ fat, but I have difficulty imagining that there is much left there either. Supposedly, that's the easiest to get rid of.

To actually reach the 'healthy' mark on the BMI charts, I'd either have to grow another 6 inches or lose 4-5 more kilo. I'm opting to grow...
