...But I'm overweight!!! As of my weigh in today, I am no longer "obese", just simply "overweight"!!! I didn't even realize it until about five hours after I weighed...then it suddenly hit me! I have less than 40 pounds to go to hit my goal, which I never thought would happen.

I've lost 76.4 pounds.
I've lost a grand total of 90.25 inches from all over my body.
I've gone from a BMI of 42 to a BMI of 29.9.
I've gone from 53% body fat to approximately 35% body fat (hard to say for sure, I just use my scale that's supposed to tell what your percentage is).
I've gone from a size 2x shirt to a size Medium or Large.
I've gone from a size 24 pants to a size 12, sometimes 14.

The pictures below are from Thanksgiving last year and Thanksgiving this year (I'm the one wearing glasses). I hid from the camera as much as I could last Christmas so I don't have a comparison. The pictures were taken while we were taking a break from midnight madness shopping on Black Friday. We always stop at Subway...this year my sandwich was a whole heck of a lot healthier than last year!
