I'm officially no longer "obese"!!!!

O.K., O.K., so I'm still "overweight".  That still looks a heck of a lot better than the "super obese" that I started out at, lol.  I remember how excited I was when I went from super to just obese.  I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw the "overweight" next to my BMI index.  I got  back on my Wii fit last night.  I haven't used it since the end of last year.  It told me, wow, it's been 221 days since I last saw you!  I had been walking instead up until my surgery then I became a couch potato again.  I'm getting back on track again now.  I was working on strengthening exercises and couldn't believe how much ground I lost.  At least I was my actual age on the Wii fitness test rather than 10 years older where I first started out, lol.  I'm going to stay with it for a while and see if I can't get stronger.  My upper body strength is fine from lifting so many people in bed.  It's the lower body that stinks.  I'm battling the smoking demon again.  I lapsed after gallbladder surgery when I was so miserable and feeling sorry for myself.  I have set Saturday as my stop day.  Wish me luck.

Great job Sybul.  Overweight has such a much better sound than super obese, doesn't it?

Good luck on the smoking issue.  As a one-time smoker, i know how hard it is to quit, but I know you can do it.  As hard as it is, it is still easier than the whole weight thing IMO and very important to your health.   Best wishes for a smooth withdrawal.

I think I remember the day I hit "normal" as much as the day I made my personal goal. Funny how we're affected by labels.

The Wii sounds like so much fun. I kind of think I might want one, but I haven't decided yet.

I"m also a reformed smoker. Good luck with kicking that again. Old habits and addictions are so tough.

Congratulations Sybul!!!

You have done so well. And I know you will beat that old smoking demon too. I really want one of those Wii things. We don't have one. But hey Christmas is coming!! I want the excercise stuff to go with it.

Good luck to you!!

Congratulations, Sybul!  And good luck on the smoking... I used to be a weekend smoker, but I still miss it every now and then. 

WTG! 

Way to Go!

I quit smoking in March and I still want one every now and then.

I want a WII FIT very badly... Im trying to convince my dad into buying me one.... They are SO Much fun!!!
