Today my BMI is 29.7 which puts me in the Overweight Category. Amazing that just last August 27th 2013 (Day 1) i was 60.2 Obese Class III.

Also a few days ago i passed losing half my starting body weight. Its been quite the month.


Obese III = 432lbs to 286lbs = 146lbs down (8 months, 6 day or 35 weeks)
Obese II = 286lbs - 250lbs = 36lbs down (2 months, 28 days or 12 weeks)
Obese = 250lbs - 216lbs = 34lbs down (2 months, 16 days or 11 weeks)
Overweight = 213lbs (today)


For my height i would need to go to 178 to be in a healthy range which i am not going to do so Overweight is here to stay physically while mentally and emotionally i am over the moon.

    Oh look at you, lording your over weightness over our obsess heads. :wink:

    No, congratulations. I am almost at Obese Class I so I can only image how good it feels to finely be just overweight. Your doing great and so close to your goal. Great work!

    WOOHOOOOO wtg. I too am aiming for the overweight class, cannot imagine being 145lbs which is the highest range for my height. You must feel so great right now! Well done on working so hard at it, getting it done in a year takes some dedication and hard work. Please reward yourself or do something to celebrate, that is something that should not go unrecognized. x

    Natasha, sounds like you are 5'4" like me, as that is the highest for me, too. If you look at my pictures, the one with me in a cream colored outfit standing next to my mom under an arch was my wedding day to my ex-hub. I weighed 140. I can't imagine getting back to that. I was so physically weak at that point. If I'm over because of muscle, that'll be okay by me.

    SUPERDUPERHUGE Congrats to TheSatinPumpkin and Melissa for hitting that lower range, to Patrick for creeping up on it all, and for all of us, continuing to fight even on the days we don't want to fight anymore!

    Hugs,
    Carly

    Thanks for your kind thoughts all. The last 14 months has been quite the journey and at times it feels like a dream. a dream that i thought was once impossible is possible and real.

    Yeah Carly just under 5'4". I am heading to 170, slowly sometimes, but that is where I am heading to. Feels more realistic right now :)

    Wow, Natasha, you are leaps and bounds ahead of me! I am stuck at 250, give or take a few, but I think I'm finally at stage 2 of getting my head screwed on straight! LOL

    I got stuck there for 6 months (at 247) I nearly just gave in. But somehow managed to try again and finally shifted down into the 30s and 20s. Now of course the 20s do not want to let me go lol.

    I've been stuck in the same phases too. Just crossed into the 40s and about to exit them, after lingering the 50s for months. I don't know why plateaus happen and then are followed by big steps. I feel like I relaxed more and started losing, where I was being super strict and stagnating. What's up with that?

    Congrats to all of us though! This is hard work! Sticking together is so powerful!
