AT LAST!! I no longer have 100lb to lose!

Fanny Adams · May 18, 2008

Whoohooo!!! I've been waiting for this for SO long! Ok, it might not be as big a deal as losing 100lb but I'll get to that milestone too, in time! It has felt like it's been forever that I've had to look at that number and say "I have over 100lb to lose...over 100lb!!" But NO MORE! I probably could have said it a while back if I hadn't been quite so ambitious in setting my goal weight, but if I had done so I think I would have felt I was cheating and would have known it wasn't really true.

A target of 60kg (135lb) is quite ambitious but I have been there before. In fact, the first time I got UP to that weight I cried my eyes out and started this whole yoyo dieting that got me into this mess in the first place. I was 21 at the time and had a 2 year old daughter, so it wasn't even pregnancy that did it to me. At 20, with a 1 year old, I was only 54kg (120lb) but I don't want to get back there. I think, at 45, I would be too thin at that weight. I am only 5ft 3in, so 60kg is a BMI of 23, which is right smack inside the normal BMI range.

OMG, I am starting to really believe that this can happen for me! :woot:

That is a great accomplishment. Congrats! That is one milestone I forgot to add into my list of milestones. Thanks for opening my eyes to that. That is so wonderful. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! And I just realised another thing - I AM NO LONGER MORBIDLY OBESE!!! Ok, I'm now Severely Obese, but that's an improvement from "Morbidly"!! God, but I hated that label!
