It finally happened yesterday!! I am officially no longer OBESE. I'm just overweight. I cannot express how happy this makes me. I feel and look so different. This is the best thing I've ever done for myself. YEAH ME!!

I still want to lose 30 - 55 pounds, but if I had to live the rest of my life at this weight I could be happy.

Here are some before and after photos. I apologize for the lack of make-up in the second pic. Those are the largest pants I ever wore, size 26. Now I can fit in one leg. I'm currently a size 14/16 and hoping for a size 4 one day.

To everyone out there that's just starting or having a hard time... YOU CAN DO IT!! Don't give up. Work hard and be consistent. It's so worth it!

I was just about to start a new thread saying the same thing until I saw this and decided just to join in with you on yours

I weighed myself this morning and also am no longer obese! I was so excited to get down to only being "overweight". I always thought that was such a terrible category to be in, until I got all the way up to 217 and checked my BMI to find out that I was OBESE. Overweight doesn't sound so bad now!

At 5'9", I weigh 202.1 and this puts me under 30 for my BMI. I'm a little over a month into this operation and have been pretty successful so far.

Your before and after pics are amazing. Congratulations on the new body and new wardrobe, I'm sure! I look forward to buying new things once I go down a size.

Keep up the awesome work! Kudos
