So I lost almost 14 pounds since I started MFP. That's not much weight, but it brought me down officially to a BMI of 39.9 this morning. I am no longer morbidly obese! I'm just obese! For some reason this feels like a big deal. I only weigh slightly less than I did yesterday, but it feels 100 pounds lighter. That "morbidly" was a really heavy word to have to carry around.

    I had that same feeling when I went from the obese to just overweight category. It'll feel great when you get there too!!!

    Congratulations!!!

    Those labels really do get us don't they. I am a little over 10lbs away from being overweight and you better believe I'm going to be dancing a jig when I get there. When I get to normal in 36 lbs I will probably cry.


    Keep up the great work!!! Especially when it gets hard and it will get really hard sometimes. Don't give up, don't ever give up :)
