Yay!! I'm officially no longer overweight (according to Bmi). It's taken 9 months! I've still got a bit to go (24lbs) as I am still at the heaviest end of 'healthy' Just thought I'd post!
Hard work does pay off! Keep at it everyone! :D

    It is an amazing feeling! I haven't been in a healthy Bmi range since I was a young teenager. I never thought I would be able to achieve this ( I am the definition of a lazy chocoholic!). if I can do it then anyone can! :smiley:

    Congratulations! That is an accomplishment that I look forward to down the road!! I just got out of the morbidly obese range, so I have a lot more work ahead.

    Congrats!!! I've got 1 more lb until I'm no longer obese. I'll be extremely happy when I'm no longer overweight.

    CONGRATULATIONS! I got a wake up moment at the start of this journey when i finally faced my fears and weighed myself. My BMI said "obese". I never dreamed my weight would climb this high. So very looking forward to posting a similar post and be in a healthy weight range!

    Thank you all for your comments!
    The feeling that your finally, officially, healthy beats any brief joy you get from eating chocolate/biscuits/etc!
    Wherever you all are in your journey, keep up the good, hard work! You can do this! :smiley:

    I was very similar, i was shocked when I got in the scale as to how much I weighed. It's so easy to put on weight and not realise just how much!
    It's been, and still is sometimes, a difficult journey. But so so worth it!!

    Fantastic, I cant wait till the day mine says this too. Ive been labelled obese for so long ( size 12/14 uk lol) and have just hit overweight category 28.7.
    My aim eventually is to be lighter than my husband which I have never been ( and he is low end of his bmi )

    I just got lighter than my husband after over 2 years. It is soooo satisfying!

    Congratulations!
    I am only 3 lbs away from my normal BMI. I've got a new pair of running shoes waiting in my closet as my reward for getting there. I'm so excited to run in them!
