No Longer Overweight Per BMI!

I've been on MFP since February 2nd, at which time I weighed in at 177 pounds, and a BMI of 29.5 given my height of 5'5". Today, after more than eight months I weighed in at 149.4, for a BMI of 24.9, no longer in the "overweight" zone! This was one of my goals for September, and I'm over the moon! :bigsmile:

I've still got a way to go to get to my goal weight and continue to work on my general fitness and strength, but I'm *so* happy right now. I know that less than 30 pounds in 8 months isn't quick, but it is working for me. Slow and steady is winning this race for me.

Anyone want to celebrate my achievement by becoming my friend? :wink:

    Congratulations! You should be very proud or yourself.


    I would be happy to celebrate with you by becoming your friend but be warned I don't update my diaries as I should. :(

    I'm so close I can feel it!! I think that's my next month goal maybe? I'm a wee bit taller than you and weigh 157 so it's coming soon :D

    Excellent!

    I've moved from the obese down to the overweight category, and am so looking forward to moving on to the normal category.

    Nicely done! I just got there myself recently, and still losing. I can't wait to go for a physical now to not hear the doctor say I'm overweight :)
