As of this morning I can officially say that I'm now considered overweight according to the BMI scales.

While I still don't necessarily agree with the way they generalize all of us, getting under that 30 mark feels awesome.

Of course I'll still be considered overweight when I hit my goal, but once those 24 pounds are gone, I will be more than ecstatic.

Congrats!

That must feel awesome! Congrats!

Congrats! Can't wait to get there, too! I agree, my goal (around 180#) would still have me considered 30-50# overweight, but even when I was in HS and playing both softball and basketball, I was 175#. I loooooong ago stopped subscribing to the "everyone fits in this box" mentality that is prevalent in medicine. Thank God, my doctor agrees with ME.
