I am now officially overweight and not obese.

I am today sitting on a BMI of 30 exactly. By my Dr's chart, this means I'm now overweight and no longer obese!

I don't know why I'm so excited about it, but I am!

Its worth being excited about! Not only have you slashed your risks of any weight related health problems but obese is such an awful word. Nobody can apply it to you now. Morbidly obese is even worse, it just sounds awful.

That is so great! WTG! I double checked mine the other day and I was down to 31 from 40.

Congratulations!! That is a truly significant milestone. A BMI under 30 is my weightloss goal and I'm moving closer.

Congrats!!!!

Lellow -

Great Job. Keep it going. It is wonderful to reach new milestones.

That is great Lellow!! I will feel exactly the same!! :angry_smile: Only 4 more kilos to go!!

I have had my third fill today so I hope that I will lose a bit steadier now as I think I may finally be getting some restriction!!

I had a weetbix for brekkie a shake for lunch and dinner and a little porridge (blended) and i am full! The last two fills I'd have been starving if I had had only that.

Fingers crossed!

Hey congratulations. I have a point or so to go before I am "overweight" and not obese. I feel great. Had a fill yesterday and the nurse is so very pleased with how I am doing. I did not lose as much as I wanted last month but she said the loss can slow down a bit after a few months. She wants a 1-2 lb. loss per week. That's fine with me.

Funny I notice that people look at me now...and I get much faster help in the stores. LOLLOLLOL I am not ignored any more.
