So I started this journey at 5'5 177 pounds, and after a year I am down to 151. I guess when I had calculated my BMI back then, they said that 143 is a healthy weight. But I just recalculated it, and CC is telling me im currently in the healthy weight zone. Im not as excited as I thought I would be, I still feel very overweight...

Hm, shouldnt this be a 'YIPEE' moment.. Im healthy for the first time in my whole life? Am I in denial?

You're technically a healthy weight... well done, you should feel proud of that!!!   'Feeling overweight'  now that you're not physically overweight might mean you need a confidence boost, could mean you need to get fitter.   Reward your achievement so far with some beauty treatment and a new outfit, perhaps  and then reassess.   From the top-end to the bottom-end healthy weight there's about a 28lb span... since there's no 'perfect size' once you're in the healthy weight-range it's a question of judgement and personal taste.

Thank you gi-jane!

I just called my mom and told her and shes just as happy for me!

I cant believe im healthy weight! yayyy!!

143 is the "ideal"

 

... whose ideal?  I don't know.  I only know this because I'm also 5'7" and started at 175(ish).  So we're on the same boat.  I'm down to 140 (138-141 depending on the day) and it doesn't feel too ideal to me lol.   So don't worry about it.
