scarlet333 386 Posted November 19, 2013 I too was thrilled to reach the overweight mark. Being normal is about 18 pounds away. Doesn't sound like a lot but I haven't lost an ounce in 2 months. I admit this is my own doing since night time snacking has snuck back into my life. I am going to try to have my Protein drink (EAS at only 100 calories for 17 grams of protein) and possibly a greek yogurt for night time Snacks. I do not know why this is such a hard time for me to curb my cravings for sliders. Anyway my next goal is to get in the 140s. I have not been that weight in about 20 years. I know I can do it. I am hoping changing up my excerise (just started c25k) will give me the kick in the pants I need. 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

outwithbenjiboi 227 Posted November 19, 2013 My next milestone is to reach my halfway mark -- which comes in 7.5 lbs. At that point, I'll have lost 60.5 and have 60.5 to lose. After that, I'll have 26 (and some change) to lose before entering the golden gates of "Onederland" -- my next goal. My NUT said that I came down an obesity level at my last appointment, but I didn't pay good attention. I'll have to look up the BMI categories... Edited to add: I found it! So according to this, I started at Class III (42) and am now Class I (34.4). Next up: figuring out how far to "overweight." Edited to add2: Well, that sucks. I have to weigh 195 to be "overweight," so that will have to be my THIRD goal!!! < 18.5 underweight 18.5–24.9 normal weight 25.0–29.9 overweight 30.0–34.9 class I obesity 35.0–39.9 class II obesity ≥ 40.0 class III obesity 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted November 19, 2013 Yeah! Wtg! Doesn't it feel good? I have 23 lbs to my 130 goal. My plan is to maintain until after the holidays and then get more serious about losing the last 23 lbs. I will enjoy myself thru the holidays. Im patient. Size 4 (im now an 8) can wait. Even if I never lost another pound, Im happy to not be 250 (bmi 41) anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Momonanomo 534 Posted November 19, 2013 that's awesome gg! Congratulations on your overweight-ness! lol I have that marked on my list of milestones too My most recent milestone that I passed passed was to weigh what I did when I met my prince charming. His mind is blown to think that I am still 55+ lbs from goal. My ever-changing bod is like him sleeping with a series of different women all the time! lol I am 2 lbs away from being overweight. Yay! Unfortunately, the weightloss is slooooowing way the hell down lately. No worries though. I will get there! In -5 lbs, I will be in onederland and at 90lbs lost. In -15 lbs, I will be down 100. After that, the next mini goal is to weigh what it says on my drivers license. lol! 2 gamergirl and sophiepants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sophiepants 489 Posted November 19, 2013 My first thought on the topic title was "Oh S*** Really, someone didn't just go there" See the poster and just knew it was gonna be something other than what I thought lol BMI right now is (moderately overweight that's what it said anyway) at 30.8, I'm weighting 191 and 5'6..... gah still obese .9 until I'm just overweight and 6 pounds (185) until I to can do a Celebrate jig Great way to look at it GG 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
