My story is here:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=44694#p460985So I was at 200 lbs in May, and completely depressed about my weight. Today, I weigh 180 lbs.
And it occurs to me that I've hit a few milestones all in one day.
As of today:
I've lost 10% of my body weight.
I'm half way to my goal, which is to get to 160 lbs. (giving me a BMI of 22).
I'm now a member of the "healthy weight" category; my BMI at this weight is 24.9.
Skipping the oatmeal and going right to the whole wheat (and fat free) pancakes for my breakfast celebration.
It has been at least two years since I've experienced this weight.
I LOVED a conversation I had with someone at work yesterday. They asked how much more I wanted to lose, and I said 20 lbs. And they said "Is that healthy? Doesn't seem like you have 20 lbs to lose." I replied "I have clothing that proves I once weighed that much. And when I wore them, no one came up and said "you need to gain weight!" No one looks at pictures of me at that weight and says "oh, you looked way to thin!"
The best thing about this is that I feel I have momentum! I KNOW I'm going to get to my goal. It is just a matter of time.
