No Longer OBESE!

(My weight last night was at 184.6 which now puts me in the "overweight" instead of "obese" BMI category!)

I have been waiting for this to happen for a long time now!  I know it still seems kind of discouraging to think that I am now "overweight" instead of "obese" but I am choosing to look at it in a positive light.  Yes, I am still overweight, but I am one step closer to being in the "normal" weight range.  I am no longer in the BMI 30s.  I have been working at weight loss and health for over a year and a half and it has taken me a long time, but I am getting there.  At my Weight Watchers meeting last night, it was one of those special milestones that only I celebrated.  A very important milestone for me.  I have probably been "obese" my whole life-even as a kid.  I have always been the "fat" kid and then the "fat" adult.  I am changing that one step at a time!  I am going to keep working hard and making health and fitness a priority so hopefully one day in the near future, I will be able to make a post about no longer being overweight!  I look forward to that day......

(I'm holding my PointsPlus weight tracker giving a thumbs up b/c I am no longer obese!)

    Congratulations!!! That is a wonderful point to reach when losing weight. I remember when I was considered just "overweight" and it was a very happy day!
