It's been a long road since I joined in January 2014. I started at 248 pounds and a BMI of 40 even. Five weeks ago I was at 186.2, about half of a pound away from dropping below 30, and then I got extremely lazy in my counting and gained four pounds over the next three weeks. After Easter, though, I refocused on my weight loss, and today it paid off. I stepped on the scale and saw 184.9, which means...

I'm not even close to done. I still have 40-50 more pounds to go. So you guys aren't getting rid of me quite yet!

    Great job! Keep up the good work! It sounds funny to be glad to be overweight, but I am looking forward to this goal next, 6.2 lbs. to go for me.

    Congratulations!

    My highest weight is about where you started and I'm 5 pounds away from overweight (and am the same height based on your weight when you crossed over in to overweight). I will be very happy when I to this next milestone.
