No longer OBESE! BMI 29.9 (4 Months 20 Pounds Gone w/Pic)

edited December 2024 in Success Stories
Hi everyone, I am happy to say that I have a healthier BMI of 29.9. I know I am not out of the red just yet but I am a work in progress and I am so excited to be out of the "obese" BMI catergory.

4 months and 20 pounds down!

SW: 205
CW: 185
GW: 165
UGW: 145

Shirt size: 1X to Large
Pant size: 16 to 14 (loose), I have a feeling I will be in a size 12 by the EOM.

I have been mostly running 3-5 days a week. I started with C25K training and completed it in 10 weeks.
Since then, I simply run to my music, run intervals with a goal of running 2-4 miles a day.

I have also worked in some circuit training 2-3 times a week.

I am looking forward to the next 20 pounds and being at a Normal BMI, soon.

    Thank you, I am not rushing it at all. I don't even weigh myself but every 3-4 weeks. I figure I am doing good things for me and the results will follow. :happy:

    CONGRATS!!

    You look AMAZING! You must be quite tall because you look quite slim at your CW. Good luck getting into a size 12 by the EOM! I am hoping to do that myself as I am a size 14 right now too :) (but much shorter than you, i think!)

    I love C25K, Week 4/5 use to be my brick wall, keep fighting, it gets easier and I still have my good days and not so great days.
