"Marginally Overweight" -- Yay!

  • So... according to this BMI calculator and chart that I sometimes visit after I drop a few pounds, I like to check where I stand with my BMI. And I am finally down to just "marginally overweight"! Yay! (Ok, granted I am at 27.3 which can technically be either category, but I am a glass is half full kind of person. )

    I am so excited, in about 3 pounds, I will have lost all my holiday weight. I was mortified for awhile, the scale said I gained almost 15 pounds. I droped about 5 pounds - I am assuming from water weight. And then I worked my butt off this week and lost another 6. (Probably still a lot of water.)

    I just thought I would share my little victory that made my day.

    Here is the link if you would like to check it out. They have a lot of good stuff on there.
