Although I'm not big on a one size fits all "ideal" weight or BMI; being considered obese has always bothered me. Well this morning according to the CDC I am no longer obese. Woo Hoo

Congratulations! I'm not one for the "one size fits all" weight classifications either, but I can definitely understand the happiness at no longer being qualified as obese. Whatever you're doing seems to be working!

Congratulations! I think moving from Obese to Overweight was the most exciting for me, even though it was one I hit early. Realizing I was in the Obese category was one of the things that made me wake up.

That's great. It's funny how even labels we don't believe in can still have an impact on our minds if we let them. Good for you on both counts.
