Congrats! Im only at 10 pounds

There are no "only's" in weight loss! Your 10 pounds lighter! Just keep on, keeping on! 1 pound a week is 52 pounds in a year! It adds up quick!

Thanks All! I have reached goal!!! 250 pounds! I have lost 243 pounds this year! Going to run a 2 mile run a week from next Saturday. Then I am working on a 10K next May followed by a half marathon next October! If those work out ok without any issues, I will do a mini triathalon April 2011 and go for the full marathon October 2011. Hey man! Gotta keep those goals a rolling in!

Huge congratulations to you. I can't believe you lost 243 lbs????

Holy moly.

What's your goal weight? i.e. what BMI do you have to get down to in order to get out of the obese or overweight category?

 

[jbiggars63]

I have somewhere between 15 and 25 pounds of loose skin that needs to be removed but I am waiting to do that about this time next year so all those numbers are skewed. The last time I checked my bmi I was at 31.9. You are considered obese at 30. When I started I was at 68.9 last Christmas! If that 25 pounds of skin were gone, I would be 29.7! I really want to be in the 200-220 range! In a perfect world I would be 193 (or 300 pounds lost!) but when I was 22-25 and running 10k's, doing aerobics and weight training, I could only get down to 220.
