4 years ago I was 240 pounds and had a BMI of amost 40. I started to workout and eat healthy and 2 years later I hit the BMI and was finally in the overweight section. For me that was a great feeling as I was no longer obsese. This morning 2 years later again Finally reached a Healthy BMI 24.9. With only 5 pounds left for me to hit my orginal goal of 140 I feel pretty darn proud of myself. I had to take a minute to really let it sink in then did a little happy dance around the room
. Thanks for letting me have a place where I can come and feel welcome and share my success.

Wow, that's awesome! One of my goals is to get out of the obese range too. At least I can say I'm not morbidly obese now. I'll get there! I'm in it for the long run! Again, congratulations and wishing you continued success.

We have the same goal of 140, but you're ahead of me! I am currently within 5 pounds of moving out of "obese" and into "overweight", and am already really excited about that coming up, so I totally understand..... Thanks for the inspiration!

Congratulations; what advice do you have for those of us just starting the journey?
Thanks everyoneMy advice to someone just starting the journey would be:
1- water is your friend drink it everyday!
2-food journal is very important, track everything
3-personal journal so you have someplace to write down all that you are feeling and doing, that way you have an outlet that reduces stress
4-ignore anyone that trys to make you feel bad in any way!
5-exercise may be hard in the beginning but gets easier and before long you want to do it. I love to exercise now and actually feel guilty if I don't
and finally: Just keep with it, tell yourself every day that you deserve this, that you are a good person, tap yourself on the back for every single goal no matter how big or small it may be, it doesn't make you selfish to take time for yourself. surround yourself with positive energy
