    Okay, Friends.

    I did it! I changed my ticker goal to 140 pounds. That is only 22 pounds away. Lord, help me. :happy:

    You rock!

    I, too, remember when I fell under 240 and thus lost the "obese" moniker (for a 6'4 dude). Feels good. I've adjusted my goal at least 4 times right before reaching the maintenance phase.

    Congratulations! I became overweight a couple weeks ago, and it was so exciting! Now I am only 29 pounds from the upper end of healthy!

    I totally understand, I was so happy when I got out of obese range, took me like 35 lbs. to get there. Now I am 1 point away from normal BMI, keep up the great work and congratulations!

    I was shocked to see where I placed on the BMI ratings, once I finally looked at the chart this week.

    In spring of 2012, I was about 290 pounds. That number does not show on the BMI chart for a 5'4" woman. I had to lose 63+ pounds to even reach down from the 'morbidly obese' category to plain old 'obese'. The number was 227 pounds. I got there last summer after taking up swimming, something that I hadn't done since childhood.

    I had to lose another 58 pounds to finally crossed over into the 'overweight' classification. That happened, when I broke into the 160's.

    The 'healthy weight' top numbers is 140 pounds, 29 pounds away from the top 'overweight number' of 169. I am currently 22 precious pounds away from the ticker goal of 140. At that weight, I will definitely be HALF THE WOMAN THAT I WAS. :laugh:

    Wow...you are such an inspiration to me!
    I"m on the same journey, losing weight so I can get knee replacement surgery. For several years I whined and complained about how much pain I was in and continued to gain pounds, month after month.
    I've a long way to go still, but I'm determined. You show us that it is possible.
    Good for you!

    Now I wonder why you called yourself old lady? You are not yet 70, and 70 is the new 50. I think it was really just your knees telling you that you were old... now you don't need that crutch anymore. Time to sip the expresso and enjoy middle age.
