I've been on this weight loss journey for about 7 months now. It's been slow going, but I've been making steady progress. I just calculated my BMI, and I'M NO LONGER OBESE!! My BMI is back below 30. I can't even remember the last time I was in the overweight category. I'm so happy!

    That's great well done. It's such a good feeling isnt it! I started at 82kg which JUST tipped me into obese...I had randomly checked my BMI one day a short while ago out of curiosity since my friends were talking about the recent development of the "global fat scale"....couldn't actually believe I was classed as obese! It was the shock I needed lol

    Tipped into overweight category a couple of weeks ago, never thought i'd be so glad to be "overweight" haha!

    Congratulations! Like you, I have been in the Obese category as long as I can remember. I also hit the overweight category just a few weeks ago. I almost felt like crying. Keep up the good work. It is not easy, but each milestone is to be treasured and makes the efforts just a bit easier. Keep inspiring those who think it can't be done.

    Well done. I've dropped from 34.4 to 29.4 in 12 weeks so I'm just out of the big O category as well. Feel so much better myself. You should be proud!

    I wish I was below 30. It says that I'm not obese, just overweight, but I wish I could be a healthy weight again. Which is half the reason why I joined this program in the first place. xD
