    So excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Can't wait for that day to occur but still have a journey to go.

    so my 2 big goals for 2014 are to no longer be in the obese category and to see a number on my scale that doen't start with a "2"

    I'm still hovering just under 30 but I have joined a spin class, an aquafit class and my husband and I have started hiking so I'm expecting more loss soon. We have set a goal to walk the Camino de Santiago - the route from Portugal into Spain, in 2019 so I have to get my hiking boots broken in! :wink:

    Another milestone, I weighed myself this morning and I am at 164. That makes my BMI 25.7. I am now officially in a normal - not overweight - weight range. I am 14 pounds away from goal weight. Wow.

    Congratulations!! I am 23 lbs from BMI 25. I am hoping to get there by Christmas. Seems like every permanent lb lost takes a month now. But I just focus on each day. Good luck with maintenance! Post when you hit your 1 year of normal.
