Well, I did it!!! I finally made it to the normal/healthy BMI category. After over two decades of fluctuating between being obese and overweight I have finally made it to my first goal. So proud.

For those who haven't yet read my story, I posted it here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/434089-39-down-25-to-go-pics

Heaviest weight was around 197 lbs. Today I weighed in at 146.2 lbs. BMI 24.7. I have just over 16 more pounds to go to get to my weight goal and after meeting this milestone, I feel like my goal is more attainable than ever before!

Cheers to you all - hope your journey is going well. Keep truckin'!

    We were the same starting weight ( I was 196) and I'm looking to get down to around 150 - so inspiring!

    How long did it take you to drop the 50 lbs? What exercise were you doing?

    First of all - you look gorgeous! Secondly, thank you for posting this. It's really what I needed to see today. I've been going back and forth with a 2-3 pound yo-yo and can't seem to break my plateau. Seeing your success will make me stay away from the valentine's chocolate today and just keep moving! Cheers!
