Weighed this in AM at 169. Put that into the BMI calculator, which put me just on the outer fringes over "overweight", but I'll take it!! Haven't been at this weight in more years than I can count. More importantly, I'm healthy and feel great. Just wanted to share my happy moment with my fellow Februarians!!

Congratulations, Renie!!! You have done wonderful!!! I know how excited you are being "overweight". During one of my last visits with the nutritionist, she told me that my BMI put me in the catagory of overweight. I cried! I couldn't help myself.... I was SO HAPPY. You have done an awesome job! Thanks for sharing your happiness with us. It always makes me feel good to see each one of us so happy. Wanda

Renie...I am so happy for you. It really is exciting to go down to a lower category of BMI. I rejoiced at each new junction b/c it seems the best way to indicate how my health improved. The pounds and inches lost are important for sure, but steadily going down from super morbidly obese to normal has been the way I measure my success. Only 19 pounds until your goal. How exciting for you!!!.....Paula
