Weight Loss Milestone: I'm Now Overweight!
I never thought I'd ever be excited about being overweight but since my BMI (Body mass Index) has been in the obese category for over 6 years, this is a new milestone for me. My BMI dropped from 38.3 (obese) to 29.2 (overweight) in just a little over 4 months. Additionally, last night I tried on my wedding band which I haven't been able to wear in almost 2 years and it fit perfectly (size 5-1/2).
Reaching these two milestones is huge news for me. It may seem like little achievements to some people, but I believe we all have those little milestones in our weight loss journey that brings a smile to our face and again confirms that we are on the right path to getting healthy.
Yesterday I was talking to my mother on the phone and she said she hoped that Medifast would relieve my pain soon. That is when it suddenly hit me that I'm not in much pain anymore. My feet (plantar fasciitis) bother me a little at times especially when I've been walking and standing a lot and I still wear my foot splints at night and my custom orthodics during the day. But my back (herniated disk) is fine. It wasn't until she mentioned my pain that I realized I can honestly say that losing over 50 pounds has eased my aches and pains considerably.
I'm grateful that I found Medifast and I'm so glad that my sister and her husband started the program this week. They are already showing a weight loss, and they are only half way through their first week on the program. I won't say how much they have lost so far because their official weigh in day is Monday, February 19th. But if they continue losing weight the rest of the week, they will far surpass my first week weight loss (6.5 pounds). I'm so happy for them.
