Wow, I loved reading your story - and I loved reading your tips. You have a nice, concise, easy-to-read style of writing. You look fabulous and I'm so happy for you! In fact, I just might print out my own "what I've learned" list to read every day to keep me on track.

Oh wow! Yeah, 160 pounds doesn't seem like it should be "obese" huh? You look a lot better! What a difference! But the most important thing is being healthy, right? Congratulations!

(I agree that Obese at 160's is totally ridiculous on BMI.)

Thanks!

I love my workout gear--ever since my shoulders/arms started getting muscle-y and my waist started shrinking, I love getting changed for the gym.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments! I'm still experiencing that new-body, still-feel-fat thing. Sometimes I try on clothes and I think, "OMG! I'm so thin!" And sometimes I see myself and think, "My thighs are huge! My belly hasn't shrunk at all!" ...I started taking my measurements in June, so I know everything has shrunk, I just sometimes don't see the forest for the trees, you know?

Unfortunately, while the word "obese" makes me cringe, it was probably closer to reality than I wanted to admit. When I think about it logically, I was 33% heavier than I am now--that's a big difference, so "obese" is probably more right than wrong for where I was then.

I've been lurking in the Maintainers' chat thread since I posted here yesterday. See you there!

Thanks! But I spent about a couple hours writing that post, on and off, and an hour editing it. The first draft was about twice as long.

Glad you liked the final version!
