I hit the 'healthy' BMI zone

edited November 2024 in Success Stories
I'm 5'6" and I started out at 200 pounds--obese by BMI standards. I was proud when I dropped down to being merely 'overweight', but not as proud as I am today as I finally hit the top of the Normal weight category (154.2 pounds). I have about ten pounds to go before I hit my first goal weight.

    Congrats that is a huge accomplishment. I have a similiar goals. It's inspirational to read about someone who has made it happen. I'm sure it took a lot of determination to get there. I am curious what your size is now. I was a 6 last time I had similiar stats to you.

    I hope this isn't too disappointing, but currently most of my jeans are (US size) 14 and one is size 12. However, I do have to wear a belt with the 14s to prevent them from "sliding". I used to wear size 18 and 16 . . . My fat mostly sticks to my thighs and butt, so they're a big factor in whether a pair of jeans fits, lol.
