So happy to be overweight right now...

I did it!  I struggled and cried, and whined, and worked hard, and had bad days, and horrible days, and great days...and I did it!

I am OVERWEIGHT and happy as a bumblebee in a field of clover.

For the first time since 1996, I am not OBESE.

I still have work to do to get to a healthy weight, but this was my first super-duper big goal and I DID IT.  That being said, I was able to do it because of the remarkable people on CC who have supported me along the way, either through direct posts from me, or though simply having CC be a distraction to me when I needed it.

I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY.

My next goal is 163 - now I am 168.  This will mean a total weight loss of 50 pounds!

Congrats on your progress, you`ve come so far!! You should be real proud for becoming a healthier person for yourself and your little one. :)

WOW!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS... I am so proud of you! you did it!  I remember crossing over from overweight... that's why I started this in the first place to bring my bmi down.  I know you are just going to keep going .

Good luck meeting your next goal.  This means you will for sure

Yay for you!! I can not wait until I can say the same.... just 5 more pounds to go. I hope to be there by my one year calorie count anniversary.

One of the great the great things about cc is you can brag about going from obese to overweight and so many people understand the accomplishment. If I said the same thing in the real world they would just look at you strangely.

congrats! you can be really proud of yourself!

Good job! I am hoping to be there soon myself...
