in Introduce Yourself
Today I reached a major milestone, I'm finally "overweight" (down from obese). I've lost 88 pounds in the last 2 years, but 30 of those pounds in the last 45 days. I'm 6"2 and now 230#. Never thought the term overweight would feel so good, but it sure does.

Additionally, I found out today that I now fit size 36 jeans (down from 50 at my biggest, and 42 just 45 days ago), I cant wait to start donating my clothes!

MFP is awesome, coupled with C25K (on week 7 day 3)I really broke through a long standing plateau.

35 pounds to go.

    I remember that feeling, going from obese to *merely* overweight' and just recently moved again down to "normal"! You'll make it there too!
