Just like the title says, I want to be overweight! Why you ask? Because I'm sick of being OBESE! However I did start off in the Morbidly Obese Category at 254lbs! I'm down to 191lbs and at 5' 3.5" once I reach 171 I will be officially Overweight. Anyone else ready to get into the Overweight category?

    Nice job! We are the same weight and height today :) Feel your pain... I am dying to get back to the 170's and be just "overweight"! I was 172 two years ago and hated my weight then, but now I would kill to be a size 10 again!

    You can do it!!!

    I'm with you! I have to lose 25 pounds to be overweight instead of obese.

    You are doing great! Congrats!

    Throw out the "categories" and doctors "charts". Be happy and comfortable enough to set your own goals. 170 might be perfect for you! More importantly make this a life change, not just one event. You may gain a pound or two, but that's ok, hit it hard. I think in the long run, you will be more successful when you are happy with yourself.

    Great job so far -- you can really tell that you have lost weight in your face! You have a great "frame" so you will look better than most "overweight" folks when you get down to that category. Keep up the journey to a more fit you!

    I have to admit, I felt pretty awesome when I crossed that line from Obese into Overweight. Still working toward "Normal"! :)

    You've done excellent job!

    I started this weight-loss journey as severely obese. I was so happy when I finally got into the overweight category a few weeks ago.

    hahahaha

    When I first saw the thread title my thought was "Here, have my fat" :laugh: :laugh:

    But after reading your post I totally get it and you are on your way!!

    I remember when I got from the Obese category to the Overweight category! I was SOOOO excited!! hahaha
    Right now I am 10 lbs away from the Healthy Weight Range category. Been 10-15 lbs from it for the past 1.5 years.... Hopefully I will make it!!!

    Kudos to you for getting this far! You will be in the Overweight category soon enough!! :bigsmile:

    I know exactly what you mean! I started in the obese category and am now just "overweight." Can't wait to burst through that one too!

    I started at 'morbidly obese' and now am merely obese!!!!(HOW I HATE that word) still a way to go to just be overweight but I now have a goal, to loose 32lbs by December of this year so I can have surgery on my back. By then I'll be top end of 'normal' weight. I'm the same height and weight as you right now and I think YOU look awesome. Keep up the good work.
