I'm officially overweight - woo hoo

[winning_by_losing 107]

As of this morning I can officially say that I'm now considered overweight according to the BMI scales.

While I still don't necessarily agree with the way they generalize all of us, getting under that 30 mark feels awesome.

Of course I'll still be considered overweight when I hit my goal, but once those 24 pounds are gone, I will be more than ecstatic.

Congrats! Can't wait to get there, too! I agree, my goal (around 180#) would still have me considered 30-50# overweight, but even when I was in HS and playing both softball and basketball, I was 175#. I loooooong ago stopped subscribing to the "everyone fits in this box" mentality that is prevalent in medicine. Thank God, my doctor agrees with ME.

I can totally understand the WOOT! I'm 1 pound away myself. Today I hit my halfway point -- 35 down / 35 to go.

What a great milestone -- you're overweight!!!!
