Default OMG!! I'm finally in the '70s!!!
Checked my weight this morning and was hoping to be at 179 but im actually 178!!

Cant believe it!! Not only that but my bmi is now 24.8 which is normal! yay!!

I only hope it doesnt go back up for some reason, those evil scales

EDIT: Not only THAT but the weight i have to lose is in the 10s, bye bye 20s!!!

Mark, I know the BMI scale would say youre just under overweight, but I think the BMI generally doesn't account for the lower fat percentage and higher muscle content in men. But congrats anyway! Isn't it great when you're actually lower than you hoped for? That's never happened to me in the past, which is why I almost never check the scale....

Stay with your plan... Let the chips fall as they may--preferably far away from your plate and mouth! heh heh!
