Default woo hoo, I'm overweight!!!

BMI-wise, that is. I'm now in the "Overweight" category instead of the "Obese" category according to my BMI. I still have a long way to my goal but it's encouraging to see my scale moving in the right direction and I'm celebrating little goals along the way to keep me encouraged. It might not look like much from where I started SBD at 199 lbs, but coming from my high weight of 225 it's a good step.

LOL, when I was 18 and 100 lbs (prior to the 100+ lb Depo Provera weight gain) I never could have imagined how happy I would be to "only" be overweight!

I am with you kestrel, when I finally got into overweight instead of obese in bmi calculation, I was ecstatic, so Congratulations that is a major victory for you- here's to you and the rest of getting into the healthy range for bmi...
