    I know the feeling! I can't wait to be overweight too! HA!! I DID, however, make a permanent move to ONEderland today... and THAT was a HUGE success for me. I haven't lived in ONEderland since about 1997 and that was only briefly... This time... it's FOREVER! Seems we're celebrating together today. Congrats girl! Keep moving toward "healthy!" ;-)

    Welcome to ONEderland! I remember my ONEderland day, that was a god day :happy: CONGRATS!

    Shoot I can't weight to be obese(instead of morbidly obese that is)! Congrats on your hard work. You deserve it.

    You are well on your way! Congrats on your progress so far, that's awesome!

    Finally, my BMI says I am no longer Obese, I am overweight! So weird how happy I am to be considered overweight, but I was 90 lbs away when I started about a year ago so this is a BIG accomplishment for me. I've been looking forward to getting to this milestone for quite some time now and I am so glad that I finally jumped that mark, never to return to Obese-land again :happy:

    The next marker I am looking forward to is being under the weight I lied about on my driver’s license (only 5 more lbs) and then hitting my initial goal of being 175 (still over weight, but whatever), and the big 1-0-0 lbs lost!

    I was so happy to see 185 on the scale this morning, it made my whole day!

    :flowerforyou:

    Con-gra-tu-ma-lations!!!!!!!!!! Haha... when I saw your 1st line I was like 'what the hell?'. But when I read on I was like 'Ohhh.' I'm so very happy for you. Keep up the excellent work. You ought to be proud of yourself for a job well done. Happy losing! :happy:

    That's awesome!!! I just hit overweight not long ago myself...and only 3 pounds from my drivers license weight! It feels awesome huh?!?!?!:drinker:

    It does feel awesome! The milestones help me to see how far I've come and I know I can make it thru the home stretch!

    It wasn't so long ago I passed that milestone, too! I never felt so wonderful! Since then, I have kept to my plan and have just ONE more pound to put me in the healthy weight category. I will be so excited on that day. You'll get there too, I don't doubt. Focus on the process and it will be here before you know it.

    Congrats! Each success like this should be celebrated & you have every right to be proud. When I moved from obese to overweight I thought all my Christmases had come at once. Keep up the good work.

    Congratulations! I have tremendous respect for those who stick with it like you have, over such a long period of time. You have accomplished more than skinny people are even capable of.

    That is awesome but I have to LOL at the title and of the comment below, cus I feel the same way, I can't wait to say I'm over weight. Isn't it funny how things change? We never wanted to be the over weight kid growing up, then we become the obese adult and would rather be the over weight kid again lol.

    Congratulations!! That's actually one of my Mini-goals, too! My first one is to leave the 200s and never return, haha. The second goal is to reach my "overweight" weight-- 174.

    You should feel incredible, what an accomplishment!! Way to go!

    Way to go! That is so inspiring. My BMI has also improved to overweight. 38lbs until "normal weight". We can all do it! Slowly our North American culture will become healthy! It starts with us,

    Congratulations - you are doing great!

    And I just had to giggle at this comment because, uh, yeah. My driver's license says I weigh 20 pounds less than I actually do and I'm STILL embarassed if I have to show it to anyone. I can't wait until it doesn't even look like me in the picture anymore!

    I totally understand what you mean! I had the same thought just today when I passed the same mark. Feels funny to say "At least now I'm just overweight!". Congratulations to you and your accomplishment.

    LOL. I read this with real delight because I too am waiting to be overweight. My BMI was 39.9 and it now just over 31. I only have to get to 30 to be overweight!!! Its a real hard slog to move those BMI markers down. Well done to you x
