My First Real Victory In 2 Months!

I was sleeved almost 2 months ago (2/6/12) and I just realized today that I hit a huge milestone!!

I plugged my height/weight info into a BMI calculator and my BMI is now 38.8. When I got my surgery my BMI was 43.8! I am no longer in "Very Severely Obese" and am now just "Severely Obese". I no longer qualify for surgery with my insurance company!!!! Thank goodness I already got it :D

In just 24 more pounds I will be under a BMI of 35 and be classed as "Moderately Obese"

HORRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hooray! Good for you! You inspired me to check my BMI (which I haven't done since surgery 8 months ago!) - And I went from class 3 (morbidly obese) to class 1 (regular obese)! Thanks for sharing your victory!

    I may not be seeing much in the way of scale movement but that was SERIOUSLY awesome to see! It definitely kicked me to want to work harder.
