I never felt "obese" but according to my BMI, I was. I'm down 24 lbs and JUST moved into the overweight range with my BMI. Looking forward to the next jump to Normal. Most of m weight has come off in the last 8 weeks through tracking religiously, radio and heavy weights.

    Congrats!

    And I never knew radio aided weight loss, maybe that's where I've been going wrong! *cranks up radio 4*

    Congratulations!!!! I'm setting my sights on the same goal...when my doctor told me I was considered "obese" I was shocked! But, it was just one more eye opener that I really needed to do something. Keep up the great work and you'll be in the healthy range in no time!!

    I am bordering on "heatlhy" myself and can't wait to hit that mark.

    Totally agree, and am pretty much in the same "boat". Stay with it, you can do it!

    I can't wait to just be overweight. As an athletic female I have never felt obese. But I wonder how much better at sports I will be if I can just be 'normal'?
