Talking "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.

Thanks for that link. When I started my BMI was 55.6!!!!!! Oh dear. It is now 27.2, which I am much happier about. I am just SO looking forward to it being 'normal'. Still 15lbs or so to go, but I know I'll get there.
