I am so excited! I'm sure the BMI calculators on the .gov sites aren't 100% accurate, but I don't care! I am only 4.5 pounds away from not being considered obese :D

    So hard to breach that threshold. I remember being so frustrated with that mini goal and it took changing my work and life stress levels to finally drop below. Keep at it!

    Hoping to follow in your footsteps! I started just shy of morbidly obese (39.6) and am now 2 lbs short of just obese.

    Congrats! I felt relieved when I went from obese to overweight and going from that to normal/healthy weight was even better :) Keep it up!

    Started at 38.7. I know the feels.

    I'm not saying the world changes when you're simply "overweight." But it sure seems like doctors started treating the things that were wrong with me and stopped telling me losing weight would solve everything

    I'm with you! In 3 pounds, I will be overweight, and I never thought I'd be so happy to be overweight:). I started at 37.0, now I'm at 30.4. Let's keep pushing!!!

    Thank you all! The last time I was thin, I went through a horrible divorce and didn't eat from stress! I am so happy to be doing this the wrong way! I never thought that I would be happy to get close to "overweight," but it is so much better than being classified as obese! And to think, I had been wanting to ask a doctor for a year for weight loss pills, but was too shy and embarrassed to actually ask! I'm so happy for all of you that are close to it, or accomplished getting to "normal" weight, too!
