I am finally overweight!!

littlesuzieq

Today's weigh-in proved it... I am overweight. And I couldn't be happier!!!!!! I hit the 26 lb. loss mark today and finally dipped below the "obese" mark on the BMI calculator. I'm so excited and am loving the way my clothes fit now and the new things I have been able to buy.

Next stop... "HEALTHY"!!!!:drinker:

Great job! (Funny how most people on this site automatically know what you mean about being happy for finally being overweight lol) I still have about 10 pounds to go and I'll be right there with you. Keep up the good work!! :drinker:

Ah, I remember when I finally hit overweight instead of obese. It's such a relief, isn't it?? Congratulations & keep up the good/hard work!

I hit that mark about two week ago. I was very excited also. I googled all the BMI charts just to make sure it was correct. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! That's a huge a accomplishment!

Good for you! I hit that mark a few weeks ago which of course sounds ridiculous if I were to verbalize that to anyone in my non MFP family, "Hurray, I'm finally overweight! Hell yeah, I'm no longer obsese!" I'm right there with you. congrats and keep up the good work.

Congratulations!!!! We are very similar, with the same goal. I started mid January at 188.8 and I'm at 170 now. You are doing great!!! My weight loss has slowed down so much in the last few weeks. I guess it's normal to lose quickly at first, but it was a lot more motivating to see the pounds dropping every few days. I think I've leveled to about a pound a week. I almost never go over 1000 calories, but I don't work out, so I don't take advantage of the 200 extra calories allowed. (I detest exercise!) I work in the yard, ride my bike around the neighborhood on weekends and I'm active, but not actual exercise, so I don't count it.

One thing I have discovered through trial and error.... mostly error, is that if I have a glass of wine in the evening, I tend to crave snacks while watching tv at night. If I have a cup of tea, I don't think about snacking. Sometimes wine just tastes so good with dinner. ( I do drink tons of water though.

I just had my 57th birthday this week and for a treat, I didn't indulge in extra calories. I figure the best gift I could give myself is success.


Hey, Just Ann, Your horse looks really tall. My horse (a TB) is 16.2 hands, but either I'm taller or your horse is a warmblood! He looks like a giant next to you!

Thanks everyone! I think I'm still grinning from ear to ear - all from stepping on the scale! Whodathunk?

Since I officially made my 25 lb. goal, I'm getting my hair done - cut and color. I'm not sure what it's going to look like but it'll be fun!:drinker:
