Thanks everyone for the kind words. It really means a lot coming from others who understand the struggle. I would never share this kind of thing with friends, just here and I did tell the husband. It helps to celebrate these milestones though, so thanks again!
Congratulations! That's so amazing and I know exactly how you feel. I just reached the overweight category too. I never thought I would be so excited just to say "I'm overweight"
It seems like it has taken so long to get out of the obese category but I finally made it this morning! After 23 years of being obese I'm finally just overweight. Something kinda cool happened last night. My hubby and I were out on a date, something we don't get to do often, and a guy tried to flirt with me. It was so funny, he saw me get out of the car and didn't see my husband and thought I was with another girl and said "Hello Ladies." Then he turned and saw my husband and said "okay, now I've really stuck my foot in my mouth!" It was hilarious and my husband got a real kick out of it. Made my night!
