I've lost 31 pounds so far and I just ran my current weight through the bmi calculator. I'm happy to report that I am "over weight," not "obese." Whoop whoop!

    Good for you! I was SO happy to get out of the "obese" category, too. I'm still overweight, but I'll hit "normal" eventually. :)

    I want my Wii lady on the Wii Fitness to shrink me back down. when I got it for my grandkid's several years ago I guess I was a few pounds lighter. I decided to get it back out after 1463 day's and yes the bi*c# remembered my last weigh in. When I got on the fit board she proceeded to tell me how much I gained and puffed my avitar up. I am gonna show her, just watch.

    Congrats! I'm not a real emotional type person, but I was so, so excited when I crossed that "line" too. It is hard to describe the feeling except that I knew I really was on my way to being healthy again. :flowerforyou:

    I've been watching this too and aiming for that goal of being "overweight" - just 3 more lbs to go. Can't wait for the big day!
