This is a big NSV for me. I checked my BMI online a few months ago and I was 32 which is what the Mayo Clinic deems Obese... well today I did it again and my BMI is 29.8. I am finally overweight! I am so excited. Can't wait til I get in the normal range, but for my I am glad to be just overweight

    Way to go. Who'd have thought that being only overweight would make us happy. That's my goal for Christmas/New Years!

  • hilarious but tba i feel the same way i used to be 49.9 (i wont say 50%),and now im 29-ish % great work everybody

    Well done you :)

    I cant wait to be "overweight" as opposed to the "severely obese" that I am now ...

    that's fantastic! I'm about 6kg or 13lbs away...and I can barely wait till I finally get rid of the 'obese' label and be simply overweight instead!

    Yeeeeeyyyyy! I know that feeling... I just went from obese to overweight as well and couldn't be happier! Now I've got my sights set on Normal healthy weight! We're almost the same weight, feel free to add me if you'd like :smile:
