After 27 weeks and 62 pounds, I've crossed over from obese to overweight on the BMI scale. My body fat % is still obese, but I'm seeing progress there as well. I'm not much of a self-congratulator, but I'm kind of pleased with myself.

    Fabulous! You should be very pleased with yourself!!! I've got about 4 pounds to get into overweight territory. I'm guessing it's been 30 years since I was overweight. :o

    I'm guessing I've been overweight about 2 years of my life. Otherwise, obese.
