I'm Overweight! Let's Celebrate!

As of today, I'm "only" overweight not obese per the BMI chart! Time to celebrate!

Only you guys could understand my happiness at being overweight :)

How many pounds for you before you hit the next milestone for you? What's your next goal?

Me too woohoo!!! My BMI is 28 gotta get it under 25 to be normal..but its better than obese at 41.5 like it was.

I was just calculating that out. I have 10 pounds to go to be just over weight. So that is my next goal. Almost there. :wacko:

WOOOO HOOOOOO!! Girl, you are one hot overweight chick!! My "next" goal was actually reached today. After losing 80 lbs, I finally weigh what my drivers license says I weigh. :P The next one is in 20 more pounds when I hit 220. That will be 100 lbs gone!!

You're about to hit 100 lbs?? That is amazing. Good for you!

Isn't that a wonderful thing? Same weight soon as 11 years ago? Good for you.

Way to GEAUX!!! You are rocking that sleeve!!

I'm so happy for you!!! :-)

I have 15 more pounds to lose before I'm overweight.

I have 8.1 pounds to go before I get under 200 - which is exciting in and of itself and it will be the least I have weighed in about 25 years. I got close to the 200 mark about 8 years ago and then my body quit losing, I got frustrated, and started eating my way back to 300+ pounds. So this particular milestone is one I am both looking forward to and scared of. What if the same thing happens as last time and I just can't do it? Etc.

The last time I was this weight was when I almost died and couldn't eat for 3 months. This time around it's been a lot more fun to get to it! But like you, I'm now in new territory. The next landmark for me will be 175 lbs, which I can remember weighing 19 years ago!

Good news is, this time you will keep losing and you can't eat enough to gain back all the weight. Gotta keep the faith, right?

Congrats!!!

I have 8lbs to go until I am only overweight! I can't wait!

Then I will only have 10 more pounds to lose to reach 100lbs lost! Hope to get there by my 6 month anniversay in January.

Congrats and welcome to the overweight club. I hope to stay here for the rest of my life. To reach the "normal" club I only need to lose 38 more pounds. Really? Where would it come from?

I too was thrilled to reach the overweight mark. Being normal is about 18 pounds away. Doesn't sound like a lot but I haven't lost an ounce in 2 months. I admit this is my own doing since night time snacking has snuck back into my life. I am going to try to have my Protein drink (EAS at only 100 calories for 17 grams of protein) and possibly a greek yogurt for night time Snacks. I do not know why this is such a hard time for me to curb my cravings for sliders.

Anyway my next goal is to get in the 140s. I have not been that weight in about 20 years. I know I can do it. I am hoping changing up my excerise (just started c25k) will give me the kick in the pants I need.
