bmi goal

If I lose 3 more pounds, I will only be overweight, no longer obese, according to the bmi chart on here. Yay! Who would think I would be so pleased to just be overweight?

    I made it to that goal a week ago. I actually cried. I mean really cried. My husband just kind of awkwardly patted my back (I don't cry very often). :P It did feel absolutely amazing! It's one of those big milestones that I think you can only relate to when you've been there. You're so close! An early congrats on an amazing job!

    That's almost exactly where I am -- 2.2 pounds to go and I'll be merely overweight! Looking forward to getting there. (Unfortunately we go on vacation next week, so I'm not sure quite when I'll hit it.)
  • Thanks! This whole thing is just improving every area of my life. I have more energy and I am sleeping better, can fit into clothes that I haven't been able to, it's all good!

    I hit that last week, I must of seemed so silly at work, rejoicing in not being obese, but overweight. : ) I think BMI is far from accurate, you can be muscle heavy as I once was very overweight....it gets touchy as you get closer to the "ideal".

    I know you will be there before you know it, especially with your cardio sessions!
