    I'm overweight and it's GREAT!

    I finally reached 184, that puts my BMI solidly below 30. I know that BMI isn't always the best standard to go by, I mean, I've been healthier for months now. But it is nice to say that I'm overweight and not obese.

    For those of you who don't know me, that's because I don't post as much as I used to, but I still keep up with you all. You are all doing a fantastic job and were a real inspiration through a very long stall (I was around 195 for about 6 months )

    Anybody else new to being overweight, and no longer obese? Shout it out and let us celebrate with you!

              Congratulations
              I remember posting a similar excitement when my blob on fitday moved into the overweight zone!

              I am sure it wont be long before you are posting about crossing the border into 'healthy weight' land
              Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
              Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                Congratulations!!!! I'm actually right there with you. Just a few days ago Fitday moved me into the OVERWEIGHT category from OBESE!!!

                It's definitely GREAT to be overweight. I haven't been "overweight" since before my second pregnancy!
