As of today, I have a normal BMI!!
I weighed in at 154 this morning (and am 5'5"). My high weight when I started back on MFP was 176. I've lost 22 lbs (one more than my ticker) within 3 months.
I only been in the normal BMI range one other time and it was only for about 6 months in college. I've always been overweight. I am so excited to be here!
Next goal, get in a solid size 6. Then get to my 145 goal. Then reevaluate.
I know my accomplishment is quite moderate compared to others on here, but at one point in time I didn't think it was possible. So, I'm celebrating and looking forward to getting to my ultimate goal.

Don't belittle your success as compared to others. Fantastic job!0

That is quite an accomplishment, and DEFINITELY worth mentioning! I haven't been in the normal category for nearly 10 years. I hope I'm not far behind you!

Congratulations! That was one of my biggest milestones - - I didn't like knowing that I was considered overweight scientifically. It's a big accomplishment, and now you can worry about perfecting things. Welcome to normal.0

Thanks everyone! It really is a great feeling. I imagine this may be more fulfilling than my goal. I guess I'll just have to wait and find out!0

You've done very well! I have about 7lb to go before I'm normal! 0

Well done! I started out exactly the same as you. I'm 5'4, and my highest point was probably 187lbs (after I lost loads of weight in secondary school). I am now 166lbs and would love to be where you are! You are a great motivation to me.

Don't sell yourself short, that's a huge accomplishment! You're doing awesome, keep it up!0

What a brilliant accomplishment, you have done so well. It feels amazing to be "normal" I'm so happy for you.
Don't ever think that what you have achieved is small, whenever I feel like my loss is small compared to others I google fish that weigh the amount I have lost,
I hope this chap don't mind, this is a 21 lb fish! MASSIVE!!!!!!
