I just recalculated my BMI based this morning's weigh-in. My BMI is now 29.9. A BMI of 30.0 or above is considered obese. This means I am no longer obese.

This is a small victor compared to some of the achievements posted here. I still have a long way to go to get to a healthy weight. But, this is important psychological milestone for me. I just want to share this small victory.

    That's fantastic - well done. I've been there too, so I know how amazing it feels to be "overweight" :-)

    I'm just 2 lbs off of being "healthy" now, once there, I'm hoping to lose 3 more lbs then go onto maintenance.

    What is your next goal?

    Several years ago when I first bought my Wii Fit, it told me I was obese. When I got on that thing one day and it told me I was "overweight" instead of "obese", I was so excited. Here I am all these years later, and I'm obese again. But, I can't wait to do my weekly weigh-in sometime in the near future and find that I am "overweight". I totally get what you are saying. My current BMI is 30.6 according to the Wii. So, it's coming soon. Congratulations. Wonder how I'll feel when it drops from "overweight" to "normal"?

    I'm very happy for you and a bit jealous as I still have .3 to go to cross over.

    That's a GREAT victory, not a small one. Don't compare with what others have done, compare with what you have done - you are now NOT obese. That's fabulous. Keep it up.

    That's great! I have a similar goal, to get into a healthy BMI. Even if I never meet my weight goal but remain in a healthy BMI I will be happy. =)
