After my 2.5lb loss this week, I have a BMI of 29.8, so I am no longer "obese"!!
I really don't like the BMI scale of measurement, but it is still nice to know that my weight is no longer dangerous! Only 28 more pounds to go to be in my healthy weight catagory!! :smiley:

    I had to lose 10lb to do it, and I have just searched for this on the internet for reference:

    So, what weighs 10 pounds? Here are just a few examples:

    At home:
    •Average three-month old baby
    •Laundry basket filled with towels or jeans
    •Medium size bowling ball
    •Small microwave oven
    •Medium size cat or small dog
    •Most vacuum cleaners
    •Large garbage bag (filled)

    At the grocery store:
    •Large watermelon
    •Large bag of sugar or flour
    •A sack of potatoes
    •1.25 gallons of milk
    •Three two-liters of soda
    •A holiday ham or turkey

    Great job! Another 15 lbs. before I'm considered in the top of the healthy range. Good luck.
