Hi futurepixie and celt!
You've found a wonderful place here, and I'd like to encourage you to post often and read all of the great stuff that's here!
futurepixie: I'm trying to fit in a dress for a wedding, too! My son will be married in August, and I really want to have my arms get smaller so the dress will fit better. I KNOW that I can't spot reduce, so I have to lose this weight EVERYWHERE so that my arms will get smaller. (Beaded jacket tops are NOT stretchy!
)
celt:Welcome to the obese club! I am there, too! Your doc is probably going by the BMI chart. You can do a search for BMI and it will give you a number of free sites that you can use to figure out your ongoing progress from obese to overweight to normal. Several of the girls are using BMI changes at their touchpoints for determining their progress with weight loss.
Glad to have you both here!
Cheryl
