And proud of it. Today my BMI says over weight "NOT OBESE" I have been obese for the last 25 years. I am 2/3 of the way to my goal. I have lost 60 pounds and still have 30 pounds to go. My wife has lost 31 pounds and her BMI is in the healthy range. I know it seems strange to be proud to be over weight but, it is a big improvement for me.:happy:

    I reached that goal about a week ago too after losing 45 lbs. What a great feeling to no longer be "Obese".

    Congratulations and best of luck on the remaining 30 lbs.

    60 lbs lost is amazing! I am about 7-8 lbs away from being "overweight" and no longer "obese"! I know the feeling! Such a great thing!

    I can totally understand, and congratulations. I've been "obese" since I was about 14 years old. I can't weight until I'm "over weight" Keep it up! :happy:

    I hope I can be over weight this year too.

    With 60 pounds gone, you can move so much easier and you've eliminated at least the start of some very awful health related issues. That is the true victory. Since you moved to over weight you have also demonstrated will power, another accomplishment!

    Hell ya celebrate the overweight category, there's a lot to be proud of with that move : )

    Awesome!! Be proud of your accomplishment! 60 lb loss is GREAT!!!! Congrats to you and the Mrs.

    I had the same sense of accomplishment when I went from the obese category to overweight!

    Best of luck to you in getting to the "healthy" category! Keep up the great work!!
