No Longer Obese!!!

edited February 2 in Success Stories
When I started my journey, my BMI was in the "obese" category. I knew I was fat, but didn't have a clue that I was obese. I was horrified by the word - silly me. I felt tired all of the time and just uncomfortable. I am now in the "overweight" category. I feel better all ready, even though I still have a lot more weight to shed. I am more active.You can get rid of the weight, just by eating healthier and moving!

    Congrats! Great work on the loss! BMI is a horrible tool - I am considered overweight too and probably always will be because I am so short.

    Congrats! I just went to the doctor today and noticed the same thing about myself. I was so happy! My next goal is to make it into the "normal" category. I have a physical in two months, so I'm aiming to make it there by then. We can do this!!! :happy:

    YAAAAAAYY!!!!! "Overweight" sounds so much better than "Obese", doesn't it? :) Great work!

    It's a great feeling isn't it? I hit that mark last week.

    Way to go!

    Hey! I actually just hit the same milestone, and I was in the same boat not really believing I was obese. Congrats!

    This is great! I'm officially 15 pounds away from no longer being "morbidly obese" ICK! Doesn't that sound horrible? I sure think it does. I've already lost over 80 pounds and I'm still considered morbidly obese :/. Oh well, I'm not going to let that stop me. Keep up the great work everyone! I can't wait until I'm just considered overweight, by that time I'll have lost over 150 pounds :)!!!
