I'm Overweight
 

I'm so excited! :carrot:

After four years "obese," I am now officially "overweight!" Yay!!!!!!!!

My lovely Wii Fit tells me I now have a BMI of 29.90 and that means I've reached my year-end goal of saying good-bye to obesity in 2008.

Yippee!!!!!!

This has been an amazing journey! I now weigh 191.8 and hope to hit the 180s before 2009 begins (seems reasonable, even with holiday yummies and parties and less time to exercise right now). Still hoping to hit 170 before calling it "done," but I certainly know I will continue to be a work in progress, and that means never REALLY being done.

Just had to share with you wonderful people! :carrot:

Congrats!!!! I can't wait until I get there! Great work :cool:

Good job, that's fantastic!

Congrats!!!!! What a wonderful accomplishment!

Thank you, thank you! :D

This message board has definitely been part of my success thus far!

Have a great week, all. And again, thanks for the encouragement!

yaaaay congrats!

Thank you, Val. :D

I was very pleased when my weigh-in was the same today as yesterday. (Like... "Ooooooooh! I didn't just dream that it happened.") ;)

Hee!

:woohoo:
That is my first big goal...to be overweight, so :congrat: It must feel awesome to reach such a monumental goal! Isn't it great to have the support on here to help? Happy losing and keep up the good work!

:congrat:

Congratulations! It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it?

congrats to you!!!

Thats awesome congratulations I cannot wait to see how that feels!!!!

This is incredible. You are SO in the zone and I know you will make it to your goal. What a wonderful way to start the new year.

Wow, that is wonderful!! I am about 15 lbs away from being overweight. I also have been obese for about 4 years, and cant' wait to be just overweight. That is my first goal. :)

Congratulations! It's hard work sometimes.

Hang in there and keep going!

way to go!

Wow, thank you all so much for the support and encouragement and "attagirl" comments. :D What fun! :carrot:

Definitely hasn't always been easy, and sometimes I get discouraged because I'm still so far away from my goal (or so it seems) and I thought I'd be so much farther along by now, blah blah blah...

BUT! It's exactly like one of you lovely folks mentioned up-thread: What a great way to start off the new year! FOR SURE!!!!

:carrot:

Gotta stay focused on both the goal AND how far I've come! :D And make good choices every day! Yay!

Thanks again, everyone. Have a delightful weekend. :D

Way To Go!
 

It sounds like you have a great attitiude. I hope 2009 helps you loose enough to reach your goal. :D:D

Me too! :D

Congrats! You are doing great!

Congratulations! i remember reaching that milestone myself........and I know it feels GREAT!

I am so excited for you. Yay!!!!!!

Congratulations!

I really want to start off the New Year "overweight" myself. I'm 1.5 lbs away and I've got a week. I hope I can make it!

congrats!!!
 

Thanks for sharing your motivational story!!!

Thank you, everyone! Your support means so much to me!

I love that 2008 was the year I said good-bye to obesity. It means that I am motivated enough now to maybe say good-bye to being overweight in 2009!

I don't have "get thin quick" goals. I really do take a realistic approach to both my progress and my abilities! I know it's a set-up for failure if I make my goals unreachable. I have to be able to live with the eating and exercise every day, and that means not being sooooo rigid that I rebel. But that's what works for me. Everyone is different of course!

Anyway, thanks for the encouragement and support! Here's to a wonderful 2009 for us all!!!!!!!!
