My realization...

TalonaCat

So, this may not be a big deal to a lot of people, but it's a HUGE win for me.

Today, I went from 'obese' to 'overweight' in my BMI.

I didn't really think about it before today, but that's a REALLY big deal to me. Sure, I was stoked about the weight, but I was more excited about the realization that I'm GENUINELY making the trek to better health.

I can barely sit still I'm so happy. That realization gave me renewed vigor. I SO look forward to the day that I go from Overweight to Healthy...

Amen, girl! Me too!! I'm still a good 19 pounds from the "healthy range". *sigh* Can't wait to be there!

Great job! That's actually one of the milestones I'm really looking forward to. Just to be out of that "obese" range... It's such a nasty word, anyway.

That's a huge accomplishment!!! When I went from overweight on the BMI into healthy weight, I was so excited. Even though there's still work to do, it's proof what you're doing is good and it's working. Congratulations, pat yourself on the back!

KalB

YAY!!!! Im so proud of you, and the fact that your are finding the things you need to be happy. So I expect a very long happy dance (do they have that on the exercise counter?) and celabrate. You have more then earned it.

pearlyfatcat

This was HUGE for me too! I think we must be similar in build, I hit mine obese/overweight mark around the same time weight wise. Congrats and a job well done! Keep it up.
