I'M OVERWEIGHT!!!! TIME TO CELEBRATE!!!!

And we all know how I REALLY feel about the BMI charts. Either way it's nice to see me out of the 30's!!! It only took me 3 full days of my 30 day challenge to break the BMI charts. So now, I'm in the high end of the overweight category. Good times. :) Have a great successful day everyone!

That is awesome! :)

CONGRATUALTIONS!!!!! BMI charts are garbage, but it does feel good to get over the line. You would be better off using a waist measurement, no?

Congrats again on all your success!

Congrats! I know how hard you've been working on this! Can't wait to see what the next 27 days of the challenge bring!

Wow! Those BMI charts are crap! Looking at your pics, you look no where near Overweight. You are a hottie.

Thanks!! :) You know I've always said FOR MYSELF the BMI charts are worthless. I even kinda make this thread in jest because according to the BMI charts I'd still need to lose 30 more pounds just to be at 24.9 which is the highest anyone should be! Ideally for my height I should be at 22.5 which is around 135 Lbs which is me still losing 50 Lbs. There's no way in the world I'd still lose 50 Lbs!! I'd look just all wrong. LOL

Right now I'd be happy with about 15 more, just to get my legs a little smaller.

If you don't mind me saying, I don't think you need 50 more lbs at all. You look slim and curvy, which we guys love. Keep doing what youre doing.

With my bone structure I know that the best I can hope for is to be "overweight" lol. BMI is a good gauge when you really ARE heavy/obese but once you get fit they are a joke lol. Glad to see you are having some success in your challenge!

Sure there is a way.... its called anorexia ;) I am with you, at a certain point you know losing much more would be unhealthy. According to BMI I should be 114 - 150 lbs but even my doc knows that would be an unhealthy weight for me and told me to shoot for 140 - 160 lbs. Honestly, judging by your pic you already look great, even w/o losing the extra 15 you want to!:D

WOO HOO! It will probably be a while before I'm *just* overweight, but you can be certain I will be celebrating that day also!

CONGRATS GIRL!
