Even though my official weigh in day is Tuesdays I saw a number today that I need to celebrate! 178.4, this number officially puts me in the overweight column and NOT OBESE! I have not been this low in 11 years so it is a HUGE milestone!!! I hate BMI because I feel like if I was in my "normal range" (112-150) I would look sickly but it still feels good to see that number! I am down 57 lbs from my all time high! My final goal is 160...

    LOL. I totally get that. We actually had a party when we (hubby and I) hit the "overweight" mark. People who didn't get it, thought us odd, but it is an enormous milestone. Congratulations!

    Awesome news!!! I just broke through that wall last week and it felt amazing!!! I don't plan to use BMI to calculate what my end weight should be...I plan to be happy with my end weight whether the BMI calculator thinks I'm overweight or not. We'll just have to see if I like what I see. Good luck to you and congrats on such a great milestone!!!
