Being "Overweight" Never Felt So Good!

Good for you!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Keep it up - you'll be in the "normal" category before you know it!:happy: :happy: :happy:

I weighed in this morning at just under 195 pounds. For my height at 5' 8" that means I am no longer "Obese," but rather just "Overweight." Funny how excited I am about finally being overweight!

Only 30 more pounds and I will be in a healthy BMI range! I can't wait!

Hee hee! It's so funny that you would say that, but I was just planning on reaching that goal by Thanksgiving! I'll be thankful to be overweight! (no longer obese)

Gratz to you, it's a great milestone and should be celebrated!!

cool. That's awesome! Next stop healthy weight! and a 20% BF percent!

good for you lady! :drinker:

Great job!! I'm only an inch taller than you but my goals are pretty much the same too! I started off at 223 and am now down to 206 and can't wait till I hit the 190 mark which I hope to do by the end of October!! Way to go!! I bet that feels awesome!

good job on the weight loss

:flowerforyou: That is so awesome!!!! Before you know it you will be at your healthy weight. keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:

dont trust bmi!

Oh, don't worry, I take it with a HUGE grain of salt. My husband and I are the best example ever of how silly it is to only use 2 factors (height and weight) in estimating health. We are both 5' 8" and in the 190's, so we have a similar BMI. Funny thing is that he is a personal trainer and bodybuilder, the picture of fitness perfection, and I am your standard-issue chubby girl.

I do think it is worth keeping track of, though. Mostly for purposes of celebrating when you pass a milestone like not being obese anymore!

thus the reason I put so much emphasis on Body Fat % It's a much better indicator of overall health than BMI. Unfortunately it's far harder to calculate as well.

well in my case, overweight is very unhealthy skinny! (really) as i become overweight with just 80kg when you could see my ribs with 90kg, my perfect weight is about 95kg to 100kg where i feel fine!
The explaination for this is that i allways been a large guy, and hwen i say large i dont actually say Chubby or Fat, i have allways had large bulky shoulders and a large waist (not as large as the shoulders tho lol) when i was a kid (about 19year old) i was very very skinny, i tought i was fat because i was quite heavy, but one day i noticed that i could actually see my ribs in the mirror i was amazed!

Edit: if you notice i began with 140kg and my goal is to loose 30kg, hitting the 110kg mark .
Mainly because with 110kg i feel amazing! and secondly because it's easyer to reach the 110kg mark than the 90kg mark, so i am trying to make two goals.
one where i loose the first 30kg and it's my main quest.
the other one where i try to loose 20kg, if i dont loose them fine, if i loose then even better!
