I started working on my diet last November, so I'm going really slow and steady (12 pounds so far), but hopefully that'll be a good thing in the long run. Anyway, this morning when I weighed in, I'd lost another pound, which knocks me out of the "obese" BMI category and into the "overweight" BMI category. I don't know that I thought I'd ever be happy to be called overweight, but I certainly feel better about that than I did being called obese. 30 more pounds and I'll be "healthy"! :-)

    Steady as she goes! Good for you.

    I've heard that people who lose weight more slower are more likely to keep it off.
    I've got this theory that a series of small changes will be easier to stick to than revamping all your food habits at once.

    In times of stress we all revert to the familiar for comfort and If you make a couple of small changes at a time you still have some comfort mixed in with your new habits, and if you keep up a gradual progression your first few small changes will soon enough be comforting habits.

    So keep up the good work!!!! Small changes over a long time can make a big difference.
