No more obese or morbidly obese! According to the BMI calculator for my age and sex, I am just overweight! Yay! I went from a BMI of 41.2 to a 30.8. Some BMI calculators say 29.9 is overweight. but the one I used is good enough for me! Onederland is just around the corner! Woo hoo!
BTW, my avatar pic was taken one year ago today! I've been trying to upload a new one, but it won't work! I'll try again over the weekend!

Re: I'm am now officially overweight!
How ironic that that statement would be a good thing! Congratulations on being overweight... and not obese anymore! I can't wait to celebrate the same.
My BMI is over 40. I don't recall the exact figure at the present.
Happy for YOU!
I haven't been able to figure out the Avatar thing either.

Re: I'm am now officially overweight!
Yay Lisa!!!!!! I know it sounds funny to anyone who does not understand but being Overweight is a huge accomplishment when you have previously been diagnosed as morbidly obese and obese. You are doing so well. Can't wait to see your updated pic

Re: I'm am now officially overweight!
Thanks everyone, the sleeve is so worth it! I'm saying that even after going through 2.5 months of hell! It was all worth it!

Re: I'm am now officially overweight!
Isn't so exciting to be overweight?? I remember that day well and laughed at the thought of being excited to be overweight versus morbidly obese and obese.
I completely understand where you are coming from. Congrats on that huge milestone! I am so proud of you. Before you know it you will be exiting overweight and into a healthy BMI. YAY LISA!!
