One pound away...

I haven't checked my weight/bmi in a while, and today I clocked in at 149 for a 5'3 female. I'm 1 pound away from being healthy. I was sitting, and just staring at the computer and thinking wow, in one or two weeks I will officially be considered healthy for the first time in over 8 years.

I'm 19 now, almost 20, but I've been struggling with my weight for almost all my life. It's an overwhelming feeling, knowing that you can do whatever you set your mind to, and I just wanted to say thank you to all the people here on cc who have given me support or answered my questions when I needed it.

Thanks.

Well done! Keep up the good work :)

WoooooHooooooooo!! You go girl!!... Congrats.. :)

Isn't that the MOST wonderful feeling??? I was so excited, then I had to laugh, because I started thinking that tomorrow, I will be a healthy weight, but today, uh uh, OVERWEIGHT! LOL What a difference a day makes ;o)

Way to go!

congratulations.  What a huge accomplishment.  stories like these keep the rest of us going.

this was me last week!!!! I am also 19 turning 20, i plugged in my weight for bmi and im at healthy weight!!!

I was in complete shock ..still some denial, but more just disbelief! Let me just tell you, a great deal of motivation for me to reach my goal!

that is awesome, thank you for sharing. I am also 5'3 and am at 150.2 pounds . . and just shy of the Wii Fit NOT telling me "that is overweight". I can't wait to hear what it will say when I finally reach that healthy area.

I'm also 19 going on 20, and I too have been overweight all my life. This is just so inspirational to me! I hope to some day been in the same boat as you!

Congratulations!
