    Awesome results! Better yet, your mind is on the right track now. Focusing on how you feel not only physically, but mentally about yourself. I have really enjoyed following your story as a pal over the past year and a half. You have been such an inspiration in my journey. Thanks!

    Thank you. I've also learned that it's important to choose MFP friends who have similar goals and who are interactive. It really helps in your journey. I give them a lot of credit for keeping me on track.

    Having a normal body weight does not mean you are physically fit.

    There are plenty of skinny people who are unhealthy because they have a high body fat percentage, no muscle tone and terrible cardio. So when BMI is used as a general indicator of health, misclassifying fit/heavy people as obese will be mirrored by misclassifying thin/unfit people as healthy.

    BMI is just a tool, and it doesnt mean anything on its own.

    you look awesome! what great success.. charts are awful, they don't necessarily mean healthy range at all... a good tool for some but can also be a downfall for many slim ladies who believe them

    when you said you went into a binge-eating mode, what was that? Did it last for a day or a week and was it a craving for a specific food that snowballed into "what the heck, I may as well eat that, too!" I think I have the tendency to binge big time, just thought I "overdid it" and now I realize its a pattern! May I ask your experience?
