I JUST realized that I have already reduced my BMI enough to get out of the Extreme/Morbid Obesity category. I am now "just" obese. Did I ever think I would celebrate such a thing? No! But here I am absolutely thrilled about it! My body may not yet "show" what I've done, but it IS making a difference.

Woohoo! Great feeling isn’t it! [emoji4]

Another NON scale victory. grats and keep it going

Are you going to get a sweatshirt that says that? Maybe: Obesity--' Every Day I have it less and less! I think I want one that says "Former Cutie-Pie" or maybe "Working my Way back to Thin". How about "Warning! My Cute is Coming Back!" Yeah I like that one. Another for you- OMG Now I'm Just Obese!

Thanks everyone! I also really appreciate the wishes for a speedy trip to "Overweight"! I haven't been THERE for at least 15 years, so that will be cool.

Overweight will hit you before you know it[emoji4]

I am Overweight and loving it. But it’s not enough! Heading toward (gasp) normal weight I hope, when this stall ends.

I need the one that says “I Finally Got Down To The Weight I Said I’d Never Be Over”

I, for the first time in my life am a normal weight! 8 months out from my RNY and I have lost 85#. I was just looking at pictures yesterday from a month before surgery and I am amazed at the difference!!! I am thankful everyday for this surgery, my life has changed [emoji4] I will post some pictures soon!

Congrats on being just obese. I remember when that was my goal too. I’m finally got to just overweight from morbidly obese and can’t wait to get to healthy weight !!!

@jenondaway SAME HERE!

35-39.9 BMI is Class II or Moderate-Risk obesity and I got to that a couple of days ago! I am so happy!

Can't wait to be Class I obesity (i.e. Low-Risk), 26 more pounds to go.

Congrats you must be so proud it's such a massive accomplishment!!

Congratulations!! Me too! As of today my BMI was 27. I haven’t been this thin since my mid 20s. It’s incredible.
