For me, I have only 10 pounds to go and I'll no longer have an "obese" BMI. I am so excited cause it is right around the corner!! I used to just fantasize about it, and now it is almost here.

What step/minigoal/whatever it may be is right around the corner for you? Let's celebrate!!

size 8.

I am soooo close... I can almost taste it. My 10s are not tight, it gives me hope size 8 is right around the corner.

Oh and weighing under 170 lbs. I was at 171.8 lbs this morning!!!!

10 pounds to a normal BMI! I can't wait. Oh I'm also waiting on size 8's - my 10's are fitting pretty well, but getting a tiny bit loose. Man it will be so exciting (can you tell cothes are a huge motivator for me?? ;))!!

I know it is weird for me since I'm 5'9" that the no longer obese and onderland are 3 lbs apart, it puts me hitting those two goals probably around the same time. I hope by March 1....

2.2 pounds until the 170's! And almost into smaller jeans. But sadly my lululemon groove pants are almost too big. :(

I can only imagine how great that feels. Everytime I see my folks, they always comment how thin I am and I usually respond "yeah, but I'm still obese".

I have a pair of really cute pants that I bought for $1 at a thrift store even though they didn't fit me. They wouldn't come up past the top of my thighs when I got them.

Now I can get them all the way up, zipped (barely), and aaaalmost buttoned! I can't wait till they fit comfortably.

I just hate that word, "obese". To me, I hear and visualize "Old, Fat, Beast"!!!

i'm about 5-10 lbs away from fitting comfortably into my size 16s -- i can button them now, but my god, it's the muffin top from ****.

i'm also only 10lbs away from being halfway through! :)

I'm a little over 10lbs away from a normal BMI. I've NEVER had a normal BMI(well maybe as a very young child). I can't wait :D

175. On a day to day basis I'm playing with 177 to 179. I don't care if I just see it once, one day, I will be so happy. I really want it by the 28th (my birthday) but 172 by then would be even better. I've heard capsaicin (the spicy stuff in cayenne pepper) ups your metabolism and I swear, I've eaten more in a week than in my life just hoping to speed things up.

This has been along few days- my first goal is 5 lbs and while I flirted with it (within 1/2 lb) last week, I am PMSing and now I'm more like 1 lb away. 1 stinking pound. ARGHH!!! Even losing 5 lbs is a challenge this month. -_-

Pre Christmas Season Weight! lol Seriously though-from Thanksgiving to New Years I gained about 8 lbs that need to go (and then some...)!

10 pounds from now I should be able to get back into my size 12 jeans. hopefully that will be before valentines day, and I can get a new dress!

Great topic, I was just thinking about this. :D

For me, I'm 5.5lbs from leaving obese behind, and I can't wait. Normally my mini goals are at 10lbs increments from my starting wait, but with just 5 lbs till 'overweight,' 60 lbs was a little less exciting then 50, 40, eta.

I'm about 6.6 lbs away from 50 lbs lost, but I just recently passed over the 'less then 100 to go to goal' YAY!!

I only want to lose ~10 lbs before I hit my "goal" weight. So why won't I just DO it?!

I bought size 10s at the thrift store last week, and they're fitting but a bit tight in the waist. I can wear two of them them with no or only *tiny* muffin but I can't tuck my work shirt into them, and one pair is fashion/ American Eagle and doesn't fit yet. So my goal I can taste is comfortable size 10s.

I am 7 lbs. away from a healthy BMI range. First time in more years than I can remember.

I also have a pair of Abercrombie jeans that are amazing and they fit (as in, I can get them zipped and buttoned), but I want to be able to breathe while wearing them. Another 7 lbs. and they should be good to go.

Just a smidge over 5 pounds to go and I will be both in onderland AND no longer obese. I'm a little bummed that those two milestones are one in the same number, but sooo close to reaching them. Unfortunately, I've been sooo close for a few weeks, all at my own (un)doing. Ugh! I just need to do this!

I am 6.3lbs away from a healthy weight for my height and 7.4lbs away from my 140lb goal and a total of 160lbs lost. The past week I've dropped a rediculous amount of weight (a combination of TOM passing and getting back into my diet and workout routine after a two month break). I'm hoping I don't stall so close to goal!!! *crosses fingers*

i'm 8 pounds away from reaching a normal bmi, and 22 lbs away from reaching my goal/100lb loss mark. it's kind of scary to be honest, lol.


oh! and 3 lbs away from the 130's, which i haven't seen since i was in elementary.

Yeah I was getting comments on how thin I was while I was still obese too - in fact people were telling me I was getting too skinny! Not so much, lol!

I am 4 pounds from 199! I weighed in at 203 this morning and am super paranoid about the scale going up when I am sooooooo close to onederland.
