I'M OVERWEIGHT!!!! TIME TO CELEBRATE!!!!



Recommended Posts

And we all know how I REALLY feel about the BMI charts. Either way it's nice to see me out of the 30's!!! It only took me 3 full days of my 30 day challenge to break the BMI charts. So now, I'm in the high end of the overweight category. Good times. :) Have a great successful day everyone!

CONGRATUALTIONS!!!!! BMI charts are garbage, but it does feel good to get over the line. You would be better off using a waist measurement, no?

Congrats again on all your success!

Thanks!! :) You know I've always said FOR MYSELF the BMI charts are worthless. I even kinda make this thread in jest because according to the BMI charts I'd still need to lose 30 more pounds just to be at 24.9 which is the highest anyone should be! Ideally for my height I should be at 22.5 which is around 135 Lbs which is me still losing 50 Lbs. There's no way in the world I'd still lose 50 Lbs!! I'd look just all wrong. LOL

Right now I'd be happy with about 15 more, just to get my legs a little smaller.

Yeah, I hate those charts! And the language is horrible MORBIDLY obese, SUPER obese? What is that like a fat superhero? Like you said you are happy and thats what matters!! If you don't mind me saying, I don't think you need 50 more lbs at all. You look slim and curvy, which we guys love. Keep doing what youre doing.

With my bone structure I know that the best I can hope for is to be "overweight" lol. BMI is a good gauge when you really ARE heavy/obese but once you get fit they are a joke lol. Glad to see you are having some success in your challenge!

Sure there is a way.... its called anorexia ;) I am with you, at a certain point you know losing much more would be unhealthy. According to BMI I should be 114 - 150 lbs but even my doc knows that would be an unhealthy weight for me and told me to shoot for 140 - 160 lbs. Honestly, judging by your pic you already look great, even w/o losing the extra 15 you want to!:D

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
