Yipee!!!! It's taken me about 10 months of work, but I have finally made it to the point where I am now listed as overweight in the BMI instead of obese. Considering where I started, I'm thrilled. I know the BMI is an incredibly subjective tool, but it still makes me feel so much better to be on the overweight side of things. Actually, my goal will leave me in this category. It makes me feel like it may really be possible to get there. Thanks for all the great support from my MFP friends!

    Great job. When I started on here, I was actually considered obese by the numbers as well. I was around 30.9% BMI which I believe was the actual beginning of the "obese range". That was a real shocker and to look at me, you would never say "obese". I have only lost 14 pounds and now in the "overweight" as well. I have another 26 pounds to lose and I will be in the normal range (albeit the high numbers). I'm good with that.
    Congrats!
