I AM NOT OBESE!

sjd2010

As of today, I am no longer obese!!! :happy: :happy: I am now technically heavy.:noway: I have lost 50 lbs!:happy: I am over half way to my final goal: 145 lbs. :ohwell:

My original goal was to get off my "fat drugs." I accomplished that back in May, with some set backs regarding my blood pressure meds, but I am completely off them now! I have more energy than I can ever remember having. I am now in a size 14 pant and large blouse (I started out at a tight 20 pant, 2X Shirt). I cannot remember the last time I was in either (maybe early 20's, I'm 49 now).

I think my next mini goal will be to survive the holidays without gaining any weight. I will continue my walking/jogging and yoga classes.

I am positive proof that the fat girl can lose weight and get healthy by doing all of the right things (yes, it's slow, but steady work). This is a complete lifestyle change and I love it!!!!!!!!:happy: :happy: :happy:

Congratulations! Isn't it funny that we are so happy being just "overweight"? I was doing the happy dance when I exited OBESE! Now - I am half way to "normal" and can't wait. Keep up the good work - you look fantastic!

Great job! I can't wait to get there myself. You should be proud in what you have accomplished and with Christmas coming, think of all you have already done and you will get through it without gaining.

Good for you! That is my next goal. I never thought I would look forward to being overweight. But I will take it over obese any day. I have 7 more pounds to go. I am SO happy you are there. I will be right there with you soon. Way to go sister!

Amazing!! The heck with labels like obese, etc. I am technically obese for now and that word makes me feel worse. I hope to keep getting healthy like you

Fabulous! I'm guessing you are pretty tall if you are a Size 14 and have 35 lbs to go. I am 5ft6in, a size 12 and am 142 lbs--and really proud of myself, by the way. This is the smallest I have been in about 20 years.

I know you feel good--having shrunk yourself out of the Obese range. Congratulations and keep doing whatever you are doing!
Have fun, :drinker: (water)

I just checked my BMI and I am no longer obese either! I couldn't tell you the last time my BMI didn't calculate me as obese. I can't wait until it computes it as healthy! Congrats to you!

Congratulations!

You are a big loser Congratulations!!! :flowerforyou: It must feel so good, to feel so good (does that make sense?)! What a major accomplishment. You can make it through the holidays...and don't fret if you put on a few, return to your MFP plan, and you will drop them! Just try and find lower calorie versions of your favorite holiday items (check out some Vegan recipes, you would be surprised what you can make). What a way to end the year :drinker: (ok I went smiley happy LOL).

Oh, and to be off you meds is truly amazing! I think people should look to you as an example of what healthy living can do for the body.

Congratulations! That's awesome that you've come so far.

I too crossed the line from obese into overweight, and am so happy. It's such a great feeling and a great accomplishment.

Good luck getting down to your goal weight!!!

Bermudabarbie

You are doing great! Super job!

congratulations!

I agree with the other poster that said you must be tall to be in a size 14 and a large in tops
and still 35 pounds from your goal

I am 5' 11" and 155 pounds and in a size 12 pants and a size large top and I am at my
perfect weight according to the calculators, we all come in different shapes and sizes

OK it is now officially official... I am obese Like I didn't know this. Just refused to calculate my BMI :frown: Well, I calculated it and I have a long road ahead. But slow and steady wins :bigsmile:

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy good for you! Isn't that a great feeling?! I just hit that myself too and I'm thrilled! So great to finally be out of that category! Keep up the good work- you can do it!

Really? Because I am about in the same place as she is, just recently became overweight instead of obese and I still have 30 or so pounds left to reach my goal (which is the same as hers, 145 lbs.) and I'm also in a size 14 and a L in tops... and I'm only 5'4!

That really goes to show that everyone carries their weight differently! I'm only 5'2" and weight 173 lbs. and I'm a comfortable size 14 pants and ALMOST comfortable in Large tops. Still have 53 lbs before I'm at my goal weight. :-)
