Just overweight and so proud to say it.

This morning I stepped on the scale and it said 174. I haven't been under 175 in years. I almost started to cry but was happy at the same time and told my daughter and we jumped around and had some fun with it.

On my way to work I was rolling it around in my head and thought "I wonder if I'm still considered obese at 174????" I pulled up the BMI scale and there it was..... Overweight!!! There the tears came and I couldn't stop them this time.

I have been working really hard on my muscle tone because I was feeling squishy and I had gained some weight. I always had in the back of my mind that "muscle weighs more than fat" but it still messes with you when you have lost so much in such a short time.

Well, tonight will be the true test. I'm dressing up for our Halloween party at the bar I manage. I'm going to be Pocohotti.lol The costume is a large and it's still fit. So very excited about that too!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!

I was never more happy when I became overweight! LOL. I don't put much stock in the BMI chart but damn it does feel good!

Isn't it wonderful?!?! I never thought I could be so happy to be labeled overweight, but it is so sweet after being obese for so long.

Congrats to you!!!!

Julie, I'm sorry I did not see this post sooner to wish you a Happy Holloween and tell you that I am sure you were looking HOT in your POCOHOTTI outfit!!!! :-) (love that). Congratulations on this great milestone. I can hardly wait to be "overweight" !!!! It so awesome to reach those goals. For me, it helps to remind me that I am doing it, that it's real and it's going to happen! Otherwise sometimes I fall into disbelief. Enjoy the new you!!!!!

I just Googled "BMI Chart" and found many to choose from.

^{Congrats girl same thing happend to me this weekend !! All is whoever made that chart is insane 91 "normal for me ?? my 15 year old weighs more then that!!! LOL}

[Julie76 251]

The chart is kinda crazy. But just a guide. You just have to get where you feel the best at. I just never liked being put in a category like the chart does, so it's kinda like me saying "Take that you stupid chart!"lol

Congrats to everyone moving on down in the weight department and moving on up in the getting healthier department!!!
