No longer obese. Merely overweight

According to my BMI (which I hate because it doesn't factor in a person's build. Merely their height and weight. But the doctors use it so we must OBEY) I am no longer obese for the first time in a long time. I am merely overweight.

Yay me! :)

    Congrats! I still have 15 lbs to go until I'm overweight and not obese. I can't wait to get there!

    YAY!!!
    :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    I made a list of all the little goals, including BMI changes.
    Every 5 lb lost, every change of BMI by 1 point, every 10% of my starting weight I lose (should have made it 5%), and changing BMI categories (obese II to obese I to overweight to normal).
    Writing down the date next to each one as I hit it.
    Lots of little milestones to keep me motivated. :smile:
