Finally out of the obese area in the BMI indicator. May seem silly to some, but to me it is a major accomplishment. I feel like there really is a possibility that I will get into the healthy range. Thank you to MFP and my friends at work who are supporting me!:flowerforyou:

    That IS a major accomplishment!! And I'm right there with ya...when I first started, I was several lbs. into "obese" and have been "overweight" ever since then. But what a great feeling to inch closer to your "healthy" range!! I can't wait until I'm there either!

    Gratz! That is an excellent accomplishment!

    I've still got a few pounds to go before I'll be able to say the same thing... *sigh*... but it's getting there!

    Keep up the awesome work and commitment!

    that is not silly at all! I was happy to get out of the Morbid Obesity BMI. Although I'm not quite sure is I ever really was morbid, but it was on my chart in my doctors clipboard. It was so depressing to me when I saw it. I totally get the feeling

    I remember very vividly the day that my scale told me I had moved from the obese to the overweight column :p

    That's great. I don't follow BMI since I have a high hip to waist ratio.

    Not silly! I think a lot of us were glad to get out of the "obese" category, and although to others it may sound strange, excited to just be "overweight". :) congrats!
