Congrats! It's a great feeling. I didn't get into that category until under 180 - now the motivation is for healthy weight! Go team!

Certainly an achievement to be proud of. The new "designation" of BMI will definitely be a card up your sleeve to pull out and flash in front of your doctor next time you see him/her. Be proud, it's a right of passage on your successful journey.

That's great Norma! I think I have to be at 178 to get out of the obese category.
