Holy crow, I'm overweight!

FlannelMothman

All in all, to reach my goal weight I'll have to lose 65 lbs...


I'M HALFWAY THERE!

I didn't realize it till now that I passed the halfway mark this morning!!

I know to most people my success is pointless - some people lose hundreds... (my final goal weight will be 95lbs down from SW)but still! I dropped 5 sizes in that 32lbs! AND TO TOP IT OFF...

... I am no longer considered "obese" by my scale!! 61lbs of body fat left to go! Today is awesome. Hopefully I don't ruin it tomorrow with the Superbowl! (Go Ravens!)

Congrats!!

I was reading the BMI chart the other day trying to figure out how far I needed to get to drop out of the 'obese' catagory myself. Because let me tell you, when it happens, I'm going to make a big loud fuss at my doctors office and make sure it is noted on my chart.

I does sound funny, but it will be a day to celebrate when I can say "Hell yeah! I'm overweight!!"

Keep up the good work.

That is a major milestone, and not pointless at all!

I've also got my "category weights" memorized and have them as two of my mini-goals. For me it's 191 lbs to get below 30 BMI (overweight but not obese), and 159 lbs to get below 25 BMI (normal range)

I can't wait to be overweight either! Go Ravens!!

Congratulations! I did a calculation on this and think I've got 17lbs more to be overweight. When that happens I'm gonna buy myself a big treat. (Non food based!)

I was going to buy a pair of pants or something too, but I'm not out of my current size yet But it felt so strange telling my boyfriend today "Huzzah, I'm overweight!"

Excellent - well done to you. It's so great to meet milestones like that which are so important for our future health. Let us know when you get to "healthy"!

Your success shouldn't be pointless! You worked hard for that loss!! Don't diminish it!! :drinker:

That's a great milestone. I remember being super excited when I became "overweight", funnily enough more excited than when I crossed into "healthy". I think there's a big difference between labeling yourself as overweight as compared to obese.

So enjoy it!

That's not pointless at all. In fact, that's my starting goal weight & when I hopefully reach it, you'll see me in the news "crazy lady screaming I am overweight for days"
