Thank you Hilary, this was the encouragement I needed today. I started with a BMI of 44, and it's currently 39. :)

Thanks for sharing everyone! You are all doing so great. I just checked my BMI again and I am down one more point. I had a BMI of 40 when I originally posted this. It is now 39. Yea, me!

I had those night time doubts about being on this diet and was really down when I woke up, but I had my shake and checked in with you. It is so comforting not to be alone in this. Even though I only lost 5 pounds so far, I decided to check my BMI and it actually went down from 44 to 43! Now I can keep going. Thanks so much.

My BMI started at 39 and I'm down to 37 ( I think the exact numbers are in my ticker) Its good to see that number with only a 13lb loss.

Wow you've done really great. And believe me, I;ve had those fat days as well. Shew, yesterday was one for me. And today is weigh in day, so I don't know if I even want to see the scale.

Back in summer of 2006 at my heaviest weight my BMI was 40. When I started the SFplan on August 30th, 2009 my BMI was 31 (still obese) according to their chart. And now presently 20 pounds lighter my BMI is 28 (overweight yay!).

When I was my heavest I weighed 351 lbs. My BMI was 65. Now at 324 my BMI is down to 59. Thanks everybody for showing me another way to realize that I am getting healthy other than the scales

When I was at my hightest weight ever 330 lbs my BMI was 52 now at 280 lbs my BMI is 44 so yes sometimes this number is a great motivator.

starting at 48.. now at 45. SisterC what a good feeling to be out of the obese category. I can't wait! You really are such an inspiration to this site. Hilary thanks for giving me another form of motivation.

Thanks for the compliment Rebekah! So glad that I help to inspire you because that seems to be the way this site works...I am inspired by everyone else too....I find it so amazing that we have such power in ourselves...we just have to believe in who we are and the strength of our being. A year ago, I was pretty darn miserable....so overweight, no choice of clothes that fit and I would sit every second that I could...it hurt so much to walk around....and now...wow, big difference! Who would have thought!!! Gosh, I love this plan and all the members here....my life is so good now....and getting better everyday! What a wonderful world! Hugs, SisterC

Oh my gosh, SisterC, that's amazing!!! You are so close being out of the "obese" category! I don't think I've been classified as less than obese since I was 9 or so. :( Oh well, that's why I'm here and I am following your footsteps! I am so pleased to get to share in your celebrations and I am truly inspired by you!

Great idea! After reading the posts here, I decided I needed to check it out too. Mine started at 42 and is now 31...and slowly working down the scale...less than 20 lbs to go and I will be out of the obese category!! Celebration time!! Keep up the great work everyone! Hugs, SisterC

Wow!!! You both are so amazing! That's a change of 4% in your body fat! I am super impressed by both of you! Way to go!

I also totally relate to the fat-feeling. After my little spat with the hubby this week I have been feeling pretty gross, too. It's hard to look down at the mass sticking out past my ribs and muscle. I like to think that I'll notice a change as big as 24 lbs, but when I lost 35 lbs a few years ago, I couldn't tell. It stinks to be so fat that that big of a difference isn't noticable! I guess that just means I need to work harder and push through to a 50 lb weight loss and then 100 lbs and then my goal. Maybe then the fat-feeling will be gone! :)
