I'm OVERWEIGHT!!!!

[aero99]

I want to scream from the rooftops, I'm OVERWEIGHT!!

Ok, so you are probably wondering why I am so excited about this fact. Well for two weeks the scale wouldn't budge. But today I am down 2 lbs and no longer obese. I am now technically overweight (using BMI) and let me tell you, being overweight never felt so good!!

Thanks to everyone here for your support. I don't post much but I read and it encourages me. I still have more weight to lose, but I know I can do it!

Very cool. Good job.

I've always thought it would be great to be in that overweight as apposed to obese catagory as well. I have a little ways to go for that but I can't wait to get there. And I'm certain it will lower my BP enough to go off my meds.

Thanks everyone for your nice responses. I know you will all make it here too. It is a great feeling and has definitely helped give me the motivation to keep going.

Zoesmama: As for getting off medicine, I was able to get off my heartburn medicine after I lost 15 lbs. I had to go on it last year when my job was on the line (I work for the government and they were talking reduction in force). Hopefully you will be able to get off your medicine too soon.

Where did you go to determine the BMI and overweight vs. obese?

Thanks

That is great!!!

I hope to someday join the ranks of the "overweight".

Thanks

I like this one BMI since it also has charts so you can see what you need to weigh to be a certain category.

Good Luck!

Way to go Melissa! I'm a new WISHer and I'll be excited too when I'm "overweight" Keep up the good work!

Well you go girl! Don't hate me because I'm just overweight. I've only got about 8 pounds to go to get to where I was about 1 year ago and then from there, I hope to see 190 and remain there. I'll tell you what being a size 16 instead of a 26 is such a blessing and I can't wait for all you girls to get from womens sizes to misses. If you're like me, you'll do cartwheels out of the fitting room.
