I just found out I came out of the obese category!

My weight is now in the overweight range! I was in the obese category at 171 and 5'2, my bmi is 29.8! I know those charts are ridiculous but that's what doctors use and now if I need to go he won't see me as an obese person on those charts!

Yay!! Progress is progress right?

    Congrats. I just passed that milestone myself a few weeks ago.

    I know it sounds funny to be happy that you are overweight, but I definitely get it.

    Congrats again!!

    Good job!! The BMI number means more to some, less to others... but I totally get it! I'm looking forward to that, too. Congratulations!

    YAY!!! Wonderful news for you! I just barely crossed into "obese" from "morbidly obese" I'm looking forward to being "overweight" for sure!
