This afternoon I weighed in at 86.3kg (190lb) which puts me at a BMI of 29.9 – offically NOT OBESE!
Now I'm just plain old overweight... who'd have imagined I could be so happy to "only" be fat?
Unfortunately it's not a mini-goal I can really celebrate with friends, since most of them have no idea what an obese person looks like and refuse to believe I could ever have been obese, even at my heaviest.
Today's weight puts me almost exactly half way along my weight loss journey. Since starting in mid-May, I've lost 10.7kg (24lb), reduced the narrowest point of my waist by 10cm (4 inches) and reduced the widest point of my waist by 12cm (4.7 inches).
I'm not in any great hurry but I'm hoping to lose another 11.3kg (25lb) to reach my goal of 75kg (165lb) by the end of this year
