Today was my weigh day, and I am down another 3.4 lbs which brings my total to 28 lbs gone and never coming back. With the extra 3.4 lbs lost, I am no longer obese but just overweight according to my BMI. It feels great!!!! I have been in the obese category for so long that being "just overweight" feels amazing. I just had to share my success story today.

    That's awesome, I was amazed and felt good as well when I went from obese to over weight. Now i'm just 3lbs away from normal weight, can't wait...

    That is great!! I can't wait to be there, and I will be hopefully in a few more months. I am over halfway to my goal weight now (which is in my normal range for my height)

    I don't know yet. I thought about treating myself to subway for lunch instead of what I packed for lunch. I think I do owe myself something for all the hard work. Thanks for the idea.

    Way to go!

    I have a bit farther than you to go (just a bit, heh), but I was similarly excited when I moved from Morbidly Obese to merely Obese on Monday. Go us!

    Great job. You will get there. Just keep taking it one day at a time.

    So glad for you! I'm about 12lbs away from being "overweight" myself. I can't wait!

    Congratulations on the payoff of all your heard work!

    I had to look this up - now that will add motivation for me - I have another 43 pounds to make that conversion - but it's good to know where it is! Thanks - I'm posting it on my refrigerator, it gives me a better goal!

    Thanks for the thought and sharing

    Also, congrats on your conversion!!!

    No problem. It was a motivation for me as well. You will get there. Just keep taking it one day at a time, and you will achieve your goals.
