Wow. I imagined this day months ago and it is finally here. As of this morning Im out of the obese category and Im now overweight!
Im walking on a cloud and grinning like an idiot this morning. Exactly 34.5 pounds to go to get to my goal and 42.5 pounds gone, NEVER to return.
Every moment of this has been through sheer dedication and hard work. We have completely changed our outlook, food, cooking techniques, lifestyle, everything.
My husband was in danger of getting diabetes over a year ago (listed as pre-diabetic but had extremely high blood sugar) and had a host of other health concerns . . . he is now completely off all medication and has regular blood sugar readings that are perfect!
I am just so happy today . . . and so proud of what we have accomplished.

    Good For You!! Keep it up...you've already come this far...what another 30 lbs :)
    It is funny how that something like extra weight can make you body not work very well ...
    I hope you both reach your goal and try to remember on the hard days that IT is worth it. :)

    I have about 10lbs I think until I'm out of the obese range. But the thing is, and its not making an excuse but my thighs are what makes me weigh so much. I hardly have any fat around my ribs, I can see them if I suck in but I have a flabby belly and big thighs. I am only 18 and 5.2
