Turning 30 and feeling so good

nurseCorinna

I am 45 pounds down and working on my last 15. Yesterday I went shopping for some new work-out clothes. I had to return everything I had grabbed to try on and exchange my larges for mediums! That felt amazing! The salesgirl must have thought I was crazy when I exclaimed "Haha! I got larges and I need mediums! Of everything! *giddy laughter*" Today I plugged myself into a BMI calculator and for the first time I got a nice green "Ideal Weight" notification! By one pound, but hey! I remember how excited I was when I first started MFP and moved from the "obese" category into "overweight" and now here I am! I feel so empowered and healthy. I'm turning 30 in a week and I am happier and healthier than ever!

Good job! Trust when I say that getting older doesn't mean you are totally declining. I'd love to be 30 again, but at 50 I still totally kick butt.

I can see the difference and am proud of and happy for you! However you seem to be so completely full of positive energy and happiness in all photos, when I'm used to seeing people look happier in their photos where they lost weight/sadder in photos where they have more on! Makes me extra happy for you! (And maybe a bit jealous of that energy.)

Great job! Always a great feeling to fit into smaller sizes. Congrats on getting into the ideal bmi category. I was pretty excited to reach the overweight category and can't wait to get to the ideal category too.

Congrats on your weightloss!!! You look amazing!

By the way, how can I figure out what category I'm in? Like overweight, obese, etc?

^^^^ Google BMI calculator and plug your details in - the answer will appear

To OP - well done - in all of your photos you radiate positivity but you look positively glowing with health and energy. Embrace your 30's - it's a great decade!!!
