I've grown

I know it's weird, but I have been feeling taller lately, so I decided to measure my height. I did it by standing completely straight against the wall and having my husband mark it. He actually laid the pen on my head so I know it is legit. I am 1 inch taller than I used to be. That just dropped my BMI by 1 whole point. I started out at 5'8" and 325 pounds for a BMI of 49.4. Now I am at 5'9" and 253 pounds for a BMI of 37.4. I am not super obese, I am not morbidly obese, I am just severely obese and I only have 17 more pounds to lose to get to being only "obese". I am only 8 pounds away from weighing less than my husband (I have never been less than him). I am so excited and I think that it is finally hitting me that this is forever. I have been working out twice a day on most days and with all of these nice little incentives, it just makes me want to get more active and keep losing. Eventually, I want to see some muscle definition. (just try to imagine me at 325 pounds saying that...LOL) I love feeling this way and I wanted to share my excitement with all of you, I love my AMOS family.
