Not Obese Anymore

[Creekimp13 5,840]

Of course, i'm still "overweight" according to my insurance guy....but I'm not "obese" anymore...and definitely not "morbidly obese" like I was at this time last year.

So yeah..."Overweight" sounds pretty darned fantastic to me:)

Today I broke my doctor's goal for my weight.... which is 172-178 pounds:) My body fat is right around 30% according to the underwater scale and metabolic analysis....which is generally considered Healthy/Acceptable for women.

My personal goal is 170, and I'm looking forward to popping my calories up a bit to maintain after I hit that goal. More good carbs! More fruits and whole grains!

Have been crazy busy, but life is good:) Still loving my forever diet and not feeling deprived of anything. Getting exercise in is not hard with 11 year old neicey running us around to the zoo, forest, alligator farm, natural history museum, aviation/space museum etc....and needing a swimming buddy.

Have been cooking healthy for guests, and they seem to be enjoying it:) Had a couple nights of junk for the kids on the grill, or pizza. I just throw some salmon on there and have some avacado and cukes and other veggies and call it good. Grilled salmon with balsamic glaze is my new go-to favorite.

Congratulations on this milestone! And the even better milestone - still enjoying that forever eating style.

I look back and cannot for the life of me quite get a grip 9n why it took this tool to so happily alter my food choices, but it just did. I love my new eating style, rarely miss the old - and when I do I have just ridden it out each time!

Congratulations - it has been great watching you on this journey.

That is fantastic news! I know it seems so crazy when we drop out of a BMI category to a less obese one we are thrilled, but I think most of us are that way!
