Hi July Babies! I have some good news to report!! As of today, I weigh 211 pounds. I am offically "overweight" according to my BMI. I haven't weighed 211 pounds since I was in high school. I'm fitting into some size 16 pants--a little snug, but they don't look bad. I bought some polo shirts, size Large (men's department), and they fit great. 69 pounds gone forever! Diana **my next goal is 205 pounds--this will be 100 pounds down from my highest weight.

It's funny that you say that. I was telling one of my friends that I was "overweight". They reacted like it was a "bad" thing--"oh, no, Diana. You look fine, you're not overweight." -- ha ha. Even when I tried to explain that I had to "lose weight" to get to be just "overweight" they still didn't get it. My fat humor is waisted on skinny ears! My husband went from Severely Morbidly Obese down to overweight. They guy wears a medium shirt, everyone says he's thin, and he's still considered "overweight". He doesn't plan on losing another pound--he'd look awful if he did. I hate these darn charts, but it feels good to be out of the obese catagory. Diana
