I find this an amusing thing to celebrate :D

As of today, I'm overweight! Which is better than super obese, where I started. My BMI is now 29.8. When I started here, it was 57.6. Eek!

I don't have many folks cheering me on, so I thought I'd come here to say yay!

Woohoo! Next stop, um... Less overweight!

Eventually, healthy weight! It's still a ways off, but a girl can dream :)

    siobhanaoife Hi. May I ask what weight you were and what your current weight is? Just to put the BMI into perspective. Thanks and well done :-)

    High Five for you! Great News! And I can relate, in May I was at 44.9%. And I am close to reaching regular obese, and then to get to overweight. I am excited for you.

    I totally get it - I've decided to maintain for awhile in the overweight range. My BMI hovers between 26 and 27. Congratulations!
