I am OFFICIALLY no longer "obese" by any method of calculation (my BMI is the only thing that has labeled me as that for at least 15-20 pounds now)!
In the last 185 days (that's how long I've been on MFP), I've lost 71.2 pounds and gone from a BMI of 40.17 (morbidly obese) to, as of this morning, 29.96 (overweight).
WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I've also lost 60+ inches all over, including 13.5 from my waist.
