I'm average (and in this case, that's a success!)

I started this at a BMI of 39.6, on the verge of morbid obesity. As of today's weigh in, I am now just below the average BMI for women in the U.S. (which is 26.5 according to the CDC) at 26.4! For some reason, this milestone really meant a lot - I wasn't expecting it but there were tears and some dancing around the bathroom. It feels really good to know I don't stand out as the fat chick anymore. I know BMI isn't the be all and end all of metrics but it made my day. I feel renewed to step it up and get the last 30 lbs off after losing over 80.
