According to my BMI I'm finally not obese anymore! Its odd statement to be happy about being overweight! I originally started at 311.5lbs in 2008 and down to 208.7lbs this morning. Next goal to be out of the 200's, and then to be "normal" weight!

    Nothing odd about it! -103 lbs is a huge accomplishment! Congratulations and keep up the awesome work.

    Good stuff, I think I'll feel healthiest in the 'Overweight' band, I'd have to chop off a leg to be 'Ideal' or whatever the lower classification is :)
