I just checked my BMI from a BMI calculator and my BMI is now:
29.7
BMI Categories:
* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
* Overweight = 25–29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Just nearly below OBESE, but NO LONGER obese--I can't tell you how THRILLED I am.
Now to move from overweight to normal weight, it's going to take some time, but I know it's coming off--55 more pounds of ugly fat to reach my goal. I just started this wonderful journey a month and a day ago--I'm so happy I could cry!

Thank you so much, I'm THRILLED! I also love what you said about remembering this day and how I feel when (not if, but when :brokenheart: a bad day comes), that's something I didn't think of and will remember. Thank you so much for the encouragement and most excellent advice--I love it!!!0 -

GREAT JOB!
The health benefits of shedding excess weight are so worth it! I, too, started deep in the "obese" category (37 to be exact), I've moved through "overweight" and now I'm 10 pounds away from indexing under 25 ... HEALTHY!
Keep up the good work! You can do it! :happy:0 -
Congratulations! That will be my first milestone with weight loss! I still have a long ways to go, but I'm getting there...0
