b1 = -0.33, i.e. A higher initial level of BMI should lead to lower
growth rates, isnt it?

on average, an additional year changes BMI_growth by 0.11, b2 might be
an elasticity (1% change in logincome causes 0.14% in BMI_growth ).
b1, a unit change from the average present level of BMI changes the
BMI_growth by 0.33; in other words, increases the growth of BMI. So, i
think you may have divergence rather than convergence.
Does it make sense? otherwise, provide more details about the dataset.
