  • Hey everyone!

    Had a great NSV to share today.. hopped on the scale to see 214.5 this morning.. an "overweight" BMI at 29.9!

    I've finally hit the 30 pound mark, too! I tried lifting some 15 pounds dumbbells the other day (wishful thinking?) and I realized.. I used to "carry" these around all the time. Felt great to put them down.

  • AWESOME!! A BIG BIG Congrats on your minigoal! One of my current minigoals is to get into overweight. I have to lose about 30 more pounds to get there. That's really really awesome! I'm happy for you! Must be a good feeling.
  • Great Job for both of you! You are both really inspirational!
  • Way to go!!
  • Ahh congrats, that's a great moment. Getting under 200lbs and getting out of obese range really made me feel proud.
  • That is really awesome work!! and very exciting!! Keep it up!
  • Congrats!!It's a great job!
  • Congrats!!!!!
  • Wooo, congrats!
  • Congratulations!!! That's great!

    Regarding the dumbbells, when I was first losing weight, I kept a pile of products in a corner shelf of my kitchen that totaled the amount of weight I had lost (bags of flour/sugar/whatever I had handy) as a reminder of how far I'd come.
  • Congrats! What an accomplishment! Getting out of the 'obese' BMI range was a huge milestone for me- it was the first time I really started believing that I didn't have to be overweight forever.

    Keep up the awesome work!
  • That is a wonderful accomplishment! Congratulations on all your hard work!!
  • Congratulations!! Soon you'll be in Onederland.
  • Wow, congratulations! How are you going to reward yourself?!
  • What an accomplishment! Congratulations
