After many years of being in the obese section of the BMI chart (indeed 10 years ago being 'morbidly obese - what a lovely term!), today I am officially just overweight!! I AM RATHER HAPPY!!
Thank you MFP for making this weight the easiest ever to lose - no faddy diets that make you starving, no 'can't eat this, can't eat that', just plain old count every calorie of everything that goes in your mouth - no cheating.
6 months ago I was contemplating buying a new pair of jeans in UK size 20 as my 18's were getting too tight.... today my UK size 16 work trousers are too loose and I am contemplating buying a pair of UK size 14 jeans to have as a reward for a few more pounds. :happy:

Major congratulations! It's a great feeling isn't it?
I started with a BMI of 36.3 in Sep/Oct 2011 and I've got mine down by 10 points to 26.3. Still room for improvement here, but hopefully it won't be long until I hit a BMI of 22 or so!
Best of luck with the rest of your weight-loss journey!0 -
Awesome! Very glad you're having such success and I agree that MFP is a big help. I'm working really hard myself on losing weight and I will be so happy to longer be obese and be overweight and some day be at a healthy weight. Again, great job.0
