Just hit a healthy weight range!

I AM SO FLIPPIN' HAPPY I CAN NOT EVEN HANDLE IT!
So, I got to within 2lbs of healthy range towards the end of November. Of course, then the holiday season slowed/stalled my progress and when I stood up on the scale at the start of January it looked like I'd put on another 2 lbs. No matter, says I, I'll just get back to trackin' and countin' and I was hoping to have the 4lbs lost by the end of January or first week in February.
Long story short, a ton of it must have been a combo of water weight, sodium and the increase from having taken two weeks off the gym and then gone back (ohhhhhhh, my sore everything...) cause I've been on a ~400cal/day deficit and then I stood up on the scale this morning and OH MY GOD IT'S THE MAGIC NUMBER! I'm out of Overweight and into Healthy Weight! Wooooooooohoooooooooooo!
(Had to quickly reel myself back from the temptation to celebrate with a slice of cake as big as my head, of course, so instead I'm celebrating here with a ton of exclamation marks)
I've still got about 10/15lbs to go before hitting my ideal goal. But knowing that for the first time in almost a decade I'm officially Not Overweight? Feels so so so so awesome

I know that feeling! First off, awesome job choosing a sustainable deficit of 400 calories a day. Second, congratulations on reaching that mark!!!!! If you haven't already, browse threads on maintenance so you can keep the weight off.0

Awh, thanks so much for all the congratulations everyone! It's lovely to have a space I can be excited about this- I tend to keep my weight loss journey to myself in my real life, y'know?
I've still got another few lbs to go to hit my final target- I want to get 10-15lbs down into the normal range. Figure I'll see how I feel after another 10, and then decide whether to go for the added 5 or not? So at my slow 'n' steady pace, maintenance is still a few months down the road. But it sure it good to be in that lovely green band in the BMI charts1
