I started out at 263 pounds, I am now 173! All done with CICO, though I did add in a gym membership 3 months ago. Thanks for all the support these last few years. I still have 40 pounds to go, but I'll take it slow and steady...eventually I'll get there

    I am so excited for you!

    I hope to be done with obese by the time I have my doctor's visit on the 26th. However, at this point it only looks likely if I can also grow an inch, as I haven't lost anythiy in the last week.

    That is awesome, “you go girl!” I am happy for you. Reading your post title made me have instant recollection of how it felt when I broke out of the obese level of body fat. It is nice to hear and see your successes! Slow & steady is always a great path to chose!
    Best wishes,

    I don’t think any of us can appreciate how difficult it’s been to be where you were, being on a walker, and how far you’ve come. I bet you feel like a new person! Keep on killing it!

    That is wonderful. You look great. I went from morbidly obese to overweight also, it is a great feeling.

    Very cool! I cannot wait till I can say the same. Started out 272.6 and I am not 201.8. So that translates BMI wise from 42.7 to 31.6 now. 190 will be out of obese territory. Great job, hope to join you very soon!

    I can't wait until my scale says the same! I am probably at the lower end of obese but it hurts to see it:/
