Default Normal BMI!!
I am in disbelief!!! After three weeks of sitting at 157.x and wondering what the heck was going on with my cycle (I lose in whooshes at menstruation and ovulation, and am currently on day 50-something of this never ending cycle) I started dropping the water the last few days, and woke up this morning at normal BMI!! However meaningless it is, it's still a big milestone that I have dreamed about for a loooooong time.

(no, I am not pregnant, and yes, I will be making a gyn appt)

NOt Morbidly obese! Almost "just" overweight! The way I fit in chairs rocks. Not having to push the driver's seat ALL the way back just to get in the car. I love all these things and more about losing weight and getting healthy.

Congrats! I'm still a long way off, but I'll bet that feels AMAZING. Keep up the awesome work!

I've had the ridiculous periods...ask your gynecologist to test you for PCOS. My longest was 3 months before they put me on birth control to help regulate it better.

I don't think it's PCOS, since the missing period is the only symptom, but something is up. I have been regular my whole life, and then out of the blue the last one was 45, and now this month never-ending. I don't know if it's a "glitch", or peri-menopause (seems a little early, I'll be 35 in a few weeks), or something sinister.

Congratulations! I am really jealous, because I have been working towards a normal BMI for months now to no avail. Good for you for making this major milestone!

Congrats!

I have PCOS, was diagnosed when I was 30. The 6 month long period before being put on bcp was not fun! x.x

Oh I just realized I was misunderstanding! I haven't had my period for the whole 50 days, my periods are normal length (4 days), but the length between them is suddenly increased.
