No longer Obese!
As of today I am 191.5 lbs & considered moderately overweight & not obese anymore. Yay! I'm happy. My husband says my body has changed & shifted a lot over the past month which I can tell & so can my co-workers, as they tell me I need to eat because I'm getting too thin. Yeah 192 lbs at 5'7 is not too thin by no means. I still have a ways to go. Slowly but surely I plan to get there. I have taken some of your advice & cut out some of those fruit snacks & it has helped a lot. I appreciate any and all feedback I get from you all. We are all in this together.
Seeing the scale go down this morning has made my day. I hope you all have a fantastic day!
. I know what that's like when I got there. At times I get the same thing that I'm getting to thin and that I need to eat some more. I'm okay where I'm at right now, but I can go up just a few pounds, don't get me wrong on that. I'm happy for you. I'm 5 foot 5 inches tall at 166.6 pound. We got to do what we got to do for our health, Right? Yup, We are all in this together.
I hope you have a fantastic day too.

Congratulations Strjen! I was so excited to drop out of the obese BMI category too! Don't worry about all the people saying you're too skinny. I get that all the time and I think its just such a drastic change for them to get used to that you look too skinny to them. I just smile and say thanks. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations! What a feeling. I remember when I hit that not obese anymore number & it was the first time in my life I think! Of course they didn't measure that when I was around 6 years old (& I started getting heavy).
I was out gardening today & my friend stopped by as she walked her dog. She said, "You are too skinny. You need to stop losing weight. I liked you better before." I didn't take any offense at this. My friend is from India, & I think sometimes it's a cultural thing, that if you're skinny or bony it doesn't look good. Too bad so sad because I think I look fabulous!
I wish you only happiness on your journey!
