When I got out of the obese category I was quite proud of the fact that I was now "just plain old fat". It's a huge accomplishment, no pun intended, so congratulations!

WTG!!! Doesn't it feel great?? I just recently went from Severely Obese to just "obese". I know it doesn't sound like much... but it really makes you feel so GOOD about yourself and all your hard work.
You're doing awesome!!!!

Mandalinn said it perfectly, and she's so right! If you've never been obese you can't imagine how good the title of "overweight" feels! I know I cried, tears of JOY, when my BMI finally said overweight. Now it's just a matter of time before your bmi changes to normal!! Congratulations...we are all so very proud of you!!!

Congratulations, LaurieDawn! I am sssssssssssooooo proud of you. You just helped motivate me to get back on track again. I don't know what happened, but right around Labor Day, I went off track big time and regained 17 pounds- shame on me. Still, glad I am catching myself before I do more damage and I just lost a couple of more pounds today, so I am on the right track.
Keep going, my friend. You're doing fantastic!

This is a HUGE milestone and accomplishment. I am so, so proud of you and happy for you.
I distinctly remember the first time the doctor wrote down obese on my chart...I was crushed. I too...can't wait to be out of that category.
GOOD FOR YOU!

My internet connection has been down for almost a week. So frustrating, especially since I work from home and rely on it so heavily. So I didn't get a chance to read the positive comments and thank everyone so much for their support. And Steelslady, I'm so glad to see you back here. I have been thinking about you lately. I, too, went through a rough period where I gained back some of my weight. It's so wonderful to know that our mistakes do not define us - just give us opportunities to learn and progress.
Thank you, everyone, for sharing in my excitement. I can tell other people, but so few really "get it."

Me too, me too!!!! 
This was a looooooooong time in coming, but boy am I glad to see this! I told my husband I never dreamed I would LOVE the sound of "I'm ONLY overweight." But then again, I never dreamed I would be OBESE either.  Now to be "normal" again. Oh wait, I heard that was just a setting on the dryer and nothing more. Maybe I can still dream? LOL!
