    My first goal is to cross into normal bmi (5'5" - 149) which will be my lowest weight since 1995! I just crossed into overweight from obese today so I'm excited! One I hit 25 bmi, I'll tweak to figure a maintenance range that lets me wear a size 8. I'd also like to work towards 30% BF. Total loss so far = 93 lbs

    Congrats! You must be thrilled. I have 3 more pounds until I enter overweight as opposed to obese. Can't wait!

    I'm 5'4 and had a goal of 125lbs. When I got there I felt the same as you, so I just kept on going until I hit a point I felt more comfortable with. I'm about 115 now.

    Congrats on the progress you've made!

    That's awesome! I actually started in the obese category at 191 lbs. It took me a few months but once I hit 150 (healthy BMI) range, I was so freaking happy. Keep going! Your hard work will pay off!

    Me too, didn't it feel great when your bmi no longer said obese. I recently moved into a "normal" range. Can't believe it!
