On January 2 I started my “journey” at 282 Lbs. At 6’2” that put my BMI at 36.2 and OBESE.

My last weight in was 228 Lbs = 29.3 BMI… So I am now just OVERWEIGHT (and no longer OBESE).

Next step… “Normal” :happy:

    I knew exactly what you meant by just reading the title! I too am STILL considered obese and will revel in the day I am ONLY overweight.

    Good for you!!! The first time I stepped on my Wii to play Wii Fit and my little avatar went bloop bloop bloop (and blew up into a rotund little lady) I wanted to scream. :)

    I felt the same way, I'm only 2.3 points away from being only Overweight, but that's equivalent to 12.5lbs.


    OP-Congrats! Keep it up!

    This thread title made me LOL, but I totally get it. I hover between 31 and 32, so I know the feeling and just can't seem to break the barrier myself. Congrats!

    No kidding! I like to tell myself that's why I don't play, but it really has nothing to do with it. :ohwell:
