Hi Everyone!

I stepped on the scale this morning and my BMI finally read 29.8! I don't believe BMI is the only way to judge a person's health, but it sure was nice to see that number come down from "Obese" to "Overweight." I'm still having a hard time seeing a big difference for myself, but I have noticed my clothes fitting looser, so yay for that!

Here are some progress pictures...

Left side - 238.6, right side - 202

I still have 32 pounds until goal, but here's to celebrating the journey!

    Fantastic! I know it's just a typo but reading "scare" instead of "scale" cracked me up. Some days it is! :)

    What a fabulous transformation! Even though I think BMI is dumb, I admit that I was excited to move into the overweight category.

    How do you not see the difference? We're always hardest on ourselves. I can tell you that I definitely see a HUGE difference, especially in your abdomen. I was having a hard time noticing my weight loss too despite the scale telling me I was losing, so I started tracking my measurements to get a solid idea of where my weight was coming off from. Maybe that would work for you, also. Great job! You look wonderful.

    Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off.

    I was thrilled when I dropped down from the obese range to overweight.

    Typo or Fraudien slip? Haha.

    OP, you look great, you look like you lost 50 pounds or more, not 35. That's awesome!

    Awesome progress! I believe it's much easier to see the weight loss on others. Thankfully, you are noticing your clothes are getting loose. You're doing great!

    I am definitely seeing a big difference in those photos! :) You probably don't notice much since your breasts seem to have stayed the same size. (I hope it's not rude to comment on that. I'm a little jealous, as I'm not well-endowed.)
