Finally, my BMI says I am no longer Obese, I am overweight! So weird how happy I am to be considered overweight, but I was 90 lbs away when I started about a year ago so this is a BIG accomplishment for me. I've been looking forward to getting to this milestone for quite some time now and I am so glad that I finally jumped that mark, never to return to Obese-land again :happy:

The next marker I am looking forward to is being under the weight I lied about on my driver’s license (only 5 more lbs) and then hitting my initial goal of being 175 (still over weight, but whatever), and the big 1-0-0 lbs lost!

I was so happy to see 185 on the scale this morning, it made my whole day!

    I know the feeling! I can't wait to be overweight too! HA!! I DID, however, make a permanent move to ONEderland today... and THAT was a HUGE success for me. I haven't lived in ONEderland since about 1997 and that was only briefly... This time... it's FOREVER! Seems we're celebrating together today. Congrats girl! Keep moving toward "healthy!" ;-)
