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?

I am now 10lbs away from being overweight.

Yay! Almost there. Sounds like you'll likely be here before the year ends or even sooner. :)

Thank you! You're doing great! You'll be there in no time!

Thanks! I sure hope so! :-)

My next goal is to be in the 180's. I'm at 193 now so I've got a little over three pounds to get there!

That shouldn't take very long should it? Unless of course the cursed stall hits. My next goal is to hit 175 because the last time I remember being there was 19 years ago. Ugh. So looking forward to that. I'm either 5-6 lbs away depending on what my too-honest, cheating, no-good, scale tells me.

I have been at a plateau for a few days now but I'm not worried about it. I've been sick with a bad cold and unable to exercise or get to the gym for a few days. Hoping to get back there tomorrow and back to walking so I'm sure it will start moving again.

Wow! Congratulations to all of you... such an inspiration! My next real goal is to hit that 200 lb mark in 16 lbs! Getting there slowly but surely :)

I did it too! Overweight!

Thank you so much! It feels quick right now but it is probably that I have been posting more about it. I have lost pretty steadily at least 1 kg per week, pretty much the whole journey so far. I'm so grateful for my sleeve. I'm about to be on the road for 3 weeks and I find that I lose really quickly when I travel, so we will see how that goes. I will be in India (Pune and Bangalore) and while I love the food, I find it hard to eat much and socialize, and I don't know all of my go-to foods in Indian cuisine, so I tend to accidentally fill up too quick. Especially if I attempt the naan, chapati, roti, or pulao. Or dry curries.
