If I lose 3 more pounds, I will only be overweight, no longer obese, according to the bmi chart on here. Yay! Who would think I would be so pleased to just be overweight?

    I made it to that goal a week ago. I actually cried. I mean really cried. My husband just kind of awkwardly patted my back (I don't cry very often). :P It did feel absolutely amazing! It's one of those big milestones that I think you can only relate to when you've been there. You're so close! An early congrats on an amazing job!

    That's almost exactly where I am -- 2.2 pounds to go and I'll be merely overweight! Looking forward to getting there. (Unfortunately we go on vacation next week, so I'm not sure quite when I'll hit it.)

    Thanks! This whole thing is just improving every area of my life. I have more energy and I am sleeping better, can fit into clothes that I haven't been able to, it's all good!

    I hit that last week, I must of seemed so silly at work, rejoicing in not being obese, but overweight. : ) I think BMI is far from accurate, you can be muscle heavy as I once was very overweight....it gets touchy as you get closer to the "ideal".

    I know you will be there before you know it, especially with your cardio sessions!
