Overwieight and halfway to goal

Well, I am 10 and a 1/2 weeks out now. I just figured out that I'm halfway to my goal weight and according to a BMI calculator, I'm no longer obese, I am overweight. It is also beginning to hit me that I am smaller now, and I can actually see it when I look in a mirror. It is taking a while for my head to catch up with my body. I am so happy that I have this tool to help me along the way. I am also thankful to all who inspire me on this forum. The list is long, but I think you all know who you are.

OK, I am ready to make a prediction here and now.  You are going to hit your goal weight before your six months mark.  I am so happy for you!  Congratulations on hitting the halfway mark early.  The second part is more fun because the sizes are just going to fall off now.  Get ready to really need to go shopping.  :)

Thanks, I'm going to take that prediction and run with it (well, walk, dance, and skate). I have found that right now, thrift stores are my friend. I just can't believe how fast I'm shrinking so far. And in case you didn't know, you are one of the vets I look to to help me along the way, Thanks.

I think Elina is a huge inspiration to many of us

Congratulations, Linda! You've reached a milestone in your journey. That's really awesome.

I am finding that the head is taking a lot longer to catch up than I thought it would. I am still not seeing me for me and am having to rely on the scale and my clothing to help me understand my actual size. Photos also help me see myself as others do.

Take care and be kind to yourself and keep up all the excellent work you've been doing!

Thanks

Yay Linda!!!  You are rocking it out!!!  Keep up the good work :)

My goal is to be at goal for that spring formal.

Whoo Hoo Linda, I am excited for you!!!  I know you will reach goal in no time!!!

BTW, I went ice skating for the 1st time in like 20 years just yesterday.  This was my 2nd time on the ice so I was still holding on to the hand railing but it was tons of fun.  My daughter freaking loved it!!!  I had to balance myself and her since she kept trying to twirl around... too cute!!!  I would love to try it again sometime.

I wish I could have seen that. There is nothing like the look on a little girl's face when she skates for the first time. As soon as Alison is feeling up to it, we need to plan a skating day.
