WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!! My current BMI is 29.8! which means i'm no longer obese... just overweight :) hit my first short term goal of 220lbs. thats 5 lbs in the week or so i've been using mfp. i was 280 at my biggest. I was VERY plateued at 229ish. living at high altitude and keeping active kept me from gaining weight, but my lack of attention and effort kept me from losing. Going for a sprint triathlon in the spring or summer! MFP is awesome! STICK WITH IT! IT WORKS!

    awesome Jake! reward yourself with a full body massage, new pair of jeans for the fall that has set in, or purchase a new workout to get you that much farther down the road to your goal.
    GREAT WORK!
