Talking I'm Overweight

I'm so excited!

After four years "obese," I am now officially "overweight!" Yay!!!!!!!!

My lovely Wii Fit tells me I now have a BMI of 29.90 and that means I've reached my year-end goal of saying good-bye to obesity in 2008.

Yippee!!!!!!

This has been an amazing journey! I now weigh 191.8 and hope to hit the 180s before 2009 begins (seems reasonable, even with holiday yummies and parties and less time to exercise right now). Still hoping to hit 170 before calling it "done," but I certainly know I will continue to be a work in progress, and that means never REALLY being done.

Just had to share with you wonderful people!

Thank you, Val.

I was very pleased when my weigh-in was the same today as yesterday. (Like... "Ooooooooh! I didn't just dream that it happened.")

Hee!

That is my first big goal...to be overweight, so It must feel awesome to reach such a monumental goal! Isn't it great to have the support on here to help? Happy losing and keep up the good work!

Congratulations on being overweight!
This has also been a comedic goal of mine since first seeing a "BMI" scale, & my number up in the obese range.
Jeez, I'd give both my legs & both my arms to be overweight-- but I think I'd still be an obese abdomen. Darn!

Anyways, on your accomplishment, & good luck on the rest of your journey!
You've already made it so far, you just gotta keep on truckin'!

Wow, that is wonderful!! I am about 15 lbs away from being overweight. I also have been obese for about 4 years, and cant' wait to be just overweight. That is my first goal.
