Should I be concerned about the BMI even if it’s wrong?

[MizzArtFreak89]

So I went to the doctors too days ago and my blood work is good for them it’s part, I just need to watch my chest cholesterol because it’s a bit high. I’m not going to good on my fitness journey and I’m mostly focusing on fat loss than weight loss but I should focus on weight loss. I’m currently 232lbs and the BMI said 34.32. I mean I’m not obese but I am overweight. I’ll admit I need to eat better and stop binge eating. I’ll eat less proportions or fast. I may try vegan style I tried ones but didn’t last. I’m tall so it doesn’t look like I’m fat but I am overweight so I need to lose weight. Straight up. I’m working out but I need to eat better.

Go off of how you feel and what doctors advise. BMI's are broad, so they should be taken with a grain of salt. It will take time to figure out what works best, so treat this like a testing period.

You don't want to lose weight that is muscle. I suggest you ask your doctor about the best course of action.

We’ll I don’t have a choice but too. I have high cholesterol and diabetes runs on both sides of the family

I suggest a combination of eating smaller portions while watching the intake of carbs. Try to do some exercising each day. Even a walk will help.
