Overweight NOT Obese!

Hi everyone! Just an update because I am so very very happy! A background story on those who dont know me, which is everyone, I used to weigh in at 120kg (264 pounds, my heaviest) I am now 81.6kg (179.5 pounds), which means for my height with the BMI, I am now classed as overweight not obese! I know this is a strange this to celebrate but it is like hitting a milestone! I can not wait till I hit the healthy range! Sorry just felt like tell you all! Good luck to all those out there.

Yours in Weight Loss,

Bree xoxo

COngrats! I think it's great to celebrate this and any other progress you make on your way to weightloss happiness. GOOD FOR YOU!

Congrats :) 

I'm so happy for you....Keep us updated :P

Are you kidding me?!?!!! No Bree, this is not strange to celebrate at all! It is a huge milestone and accomplishment and as such, should be celebrated by dancing on the ceiling!!!!! It's hitting these milestones that keep us on this journey kiddo!

KeEp RoCkIn It sIsTeR!!! You are awesome!

Thank you! I feel so much better as a person and I get a compliment every day I just feel so great! I am never get back to the way I was! I am 22 and should never weigh what I did weigh! Thank you for your support!

Great job, 

Keep up the great work, Go for healthy and update us. we will all have a party in your name.

Thanks Nieto, still have a very long way to go before I reach my goal so therefore you will have to hold out until you can party in my name! There are just so many inspiring people on this site that its kinda hard not to want to party all the time in everyones name!

I remember when I dropped from obese to overweight about a month and a half ago. I couldn't stop smiling. I was even telling complete strangers on the road of this milestone in my life.

Now I'm only 15 pounds away from the "normal" range and I can't wait to get there.

Congrats breezy, I bet it felt like the best thing in the world when you got there.

Go for the small goals, at first I was loosing 5 lbs at a time and was able to celebrate each one. I lost 25 lbs today and trying to loose the last 10 lbs.

Thank you Epiphany I honestly feel like well i dont know! I dont think I will be telling strangers on the street tho! I just would feel strange saying "hey guess what I used to be obese now I am overweight!" Congrats on your achievement btw very well done! I am another 22 pounds give or take away from being classed as "normal". It has been a very long road but one that has made me grown so much stronger as a person (pretty lame to say but true!). Thank you all for your support!

lol

well I wouldn't exactly call them strangers but these are poeple I pass every day on the track or road during my walk and runs. One lady stopped me and said she had been watching my progress and noticed I got alot smaller from when I started. So every time someone says something to be I tell them "when I started I was obese but now I'm just overweight"

:)

lol I walk the same track every day and there is this little old italian lady that always waves lol If I miss a day I feel like I am letting her down! I love getting into a routine of going in the same track! I will def tell some of my work mates! I think they are getting sick of me talking about weight loss but it is so hard not to become emerged in it! Anyone else have that problem?

Grats!!! It is so inspirational here when others have met a goal. Thats a big goal to accomplish too. Good work and keep us posted.

strange? it would be strange if you DIDN'T celebrate! that's such a huge accomplishment! well done!

Congratulations Breezy!  I cannot wait to get to that same celebration point of moving out of obese and into the overweight category.   Your discipline to get there is inspiring.

Congrats! That's awesome. Last week I finally reached the "healthy" range and I know I was sooo excited. Though I still have 21 pounds go go. (They leave quite a range for healthy.) But I was super excited! I think YOU SHOULD be proud of your accomplishments, great job!!
