Congratulations everyone!!! Sounds like you are all making positive changes.
Hi!! I am new here.
My goal is a healthy BMI. I am 5'5".
When I started this journey I was 256 lbs and my BMI was 43.
After 16 months I am now 193 and my BMI is 32.
I have 10 more lbs to lose to move from the obese BMI to just over weight.
My ultimate goal is 150 and a BMI of 25. If I can get below that WOOHOO.
If not, I am ok with that. As I get older I know it will be harder to maintain
anything much lower. My goal is to just stay in the healthy BMI level.
My best advice to everyone is to set a LOT of mini goals and make a list of them.
I set a goal every 5 lbs. Plus I set goals at special weights like, pre-kids
weight, lower than my skinny husband weight, lower than my mother weight,
wedding weight, etc. One of my favorite goals is my kids weights. My youngest
is in kindergarten and weighs 55 lbs. It was fun to lose his weight and then be
able to pick him up and know that I used to weigh both of us together.
So make a list everyone. I have mine and I take it out every week and see
how far I need to go before I get to cross off something else. I can't wait till
the day when the piece of paper is just a bunch of black sharpie lines!!
