    Congrats! Now that 12lbs is within a reasonable short term goal range for me, it's my next goal! I have 12lbs to lose to break the obese barrier and it's going to be great. I loathe that word!!! I look at myself in the mirror and I don't LOOK obese, but that could be my Unorexia talking hehehehe.

    I have gone from morbidly obese to just plain overweight. I'm 17 pounds from healthy! I rejoiced everytime I changed 'catagories'. Congrats to you!

    I really always hated that word. Now I can say I am no longer in the "Obese" category from a BMI standpoint. Which I understand is nothing more than fictitious babble insurance companies created and the real measurement is BF% (which is also considerably down from where I was at).

    Still a victory is a victory!

    Anyone else moved from the "Obese" category to "Overweight" category and did back flips about it?
    Nice. Congratulations!!!! That's a big goal that I'm hoping to attain myself soon.

    I know exactly how you feel. It's a little arbitrary and yet I'll be one of the happiest overweight people in the world, when I get there in about 6 pounds. Heck, I was thrilled to get from severely obese to just moderately obese. Congratulations! It's a terrific accomplishment.

    Yes, sir!!! I was in the low 31-33 BMI and am now down to 29.1 (from obese to overweight). Then I've gotta lose 4 or 5 more points to get to a healthy weight. I'm pumped :)

    A victory is a victory!

    Congrats to OP and everyone else.

    I just hit 220 this morning, which is the threadhold into BMI < 30 for my height. I was pretty happy about it unti I realized I still need to lose another 50 pounds to really look good and be at my ideal weight :(
