I had to share with you all because I think you all would understand. Today I left that awful word obese behind. This morning my BMI is 29.8 and not 30 or greater. I am free from that word and I am never looking back. Thanks for listening.

VERY COOL!! Congratulations on this grand step in your journey. Take pride in your accomplishment - and move forward with your new life. I can't wait to get there and join you in a new healthier life.

That is Onederful ! ! ! How will you celebrate the coming of these Numbers... They are Great News.....

Where else can people be so happy to be called overweight!!

That is awesome! Congratulations! I can't wait to get to that point!

Congrats!! I have 6 more points to go to join you.

How fabulous,Congratulations!!!

I celebrated with 3 new shirts and a new pair of pants. I realized this week I had no long sleeve shirts that fit. One thing I've learned is to reward myself along the way, every 10 lbs and every big milestone like onederland and now this. I don't celebrate with food but something to boost my esteem. Today I also checked out some stores I hadn't felt comfortable in only to realize they carried some bigger sizes then I wear now so I could have shopped there sooner.

Wow, congratulations! It must be a great feeling! You should be proud of your accomplishments! Well done!

Congratulations! Next time you see your doctor, I'd ask him/her to write "no longer obese" on yur chart just to make up for all the times "obese" was written on it!

I have always wanted a Pandora bracelet (a real one) and could not justify the cost. I have decided to reward myself with the bracelet upon surgery and a new charm or bead for every 20 lbs. I figure all the $$$ we're saving on take out and junk food will more than cover my reward.
