Ha, I know this is an odd thing to be shouting, but I am only doing so because I am no longer in the OBESE *cringes* BMI range! :) This "landmark" is helping me to remember that although sometimes it's tough, and the numbers on the scale don't move as fast as I'd like, I am getting there. :)

Good luck to all of you on your journeys and thanks for motivating me and supporting me while I continue on mine! :)

    You are doing awesome :) I know how you feel about that "cringe" lol - I NEVER thought of myself as obese (ugh - HATE that word). But, I was/am - but we're all getting better, and you are such an inspiration!

    That's awesome! I know what you mean because on my Wii I was in the Obese category right after having my 10 month old and now I"m just overweight. lol I was so happy to just be overweight!

    It's amazing sometimes how much a tiny bit means. I have a half pound to go to be overweight and not obese.... just crazy... but I can't wait to say I'm just overweight.....

    Congrats....

    I am so excited for you! I have about 21 pounds to go before I hit the overweight status. You have encouraged me!
