To tell you I am a healthy BMI after 5 years of trying!!

[OneMoreFrog]

So happy, I have reached a BMI of 24.9 today, the first time I've been in the healthy range for 5 years. Can't share in real life as my close friends are trying to lose weight and I don't want to sound like a cow boasting....but it's my personal victory and I 'm on cloud 9! :):):)

Absolutely brilliant. As someone who has faced the same struggle, I know how hard you must have worked.

Well done brilliant, how did you do it op???????

congratulations!! very well done.

this is my goal too, although I've only just started. I'm down from 29 to 28, so going in the right direction.

Well done you! 🌟

I was celebrating my BMI being 39.9 today (first time in 4 years being below 40, and out of Obese 3 category). Like you, I can’t tell anyone in RL for various reasons.

You have inspired me greatly. I hope one day I can post the same thing you have.

Congratulations! I am also trying to head from obese down to healthy - halfway there.

Thank you paap It is so hard to lose but so easy to gain! I feel so much better now though and like the old 'me'...think I'm just going to be grinning all day today! Well done on your weight loss too paap

bella I started with Les Mils Body combat (3 times a week) and a weekly run, I'm now doing Les Mils Yoga and conditioning exercises as I hurt my ankle running so much..I've been counting calories, usually have porridge for breakfast, sandwich for lunch (which amounts to 600kcal) and a 600kcal dinner. It really has worked, and what's more these changes feel like proper changes, I used to do fad diets and the weight plus more would come back on but now I'm approaching maintenance I think I can stick with the same types of foods I've been eating just slightly more and I've really learnt about portion sizes...

Wishing you success Gary, you'll get there! :)

And Follow, Marcine well done for moving down the categories, you are on your way down! :)

Amazing Well done, OP.

I'm in the same boat. I am also not shouting it from the roof tops IRL. I've lost 3.5 stone and am a healthy BMI for the first time in a long time.

Fist bump to all those doing the same.

Yay!! And well done on eating good filling complex carbs, fewer calories and moving more. A well deserved slap to all the slimming clubs, sugar shake peddlers and other dirty scammers.

Well done. That is fantastic.

Amazing op well done 🎉 what an achievement 👍

From one frog to another, bloody well done!

Amazing news!! I found myself teetering near “obese” and am now taking action. Using the same method as you - increasing my exercise and calorie counting! Am finding porridge for breakfast is really helping.
You’ve motivated me to keep going!!

BMI was 29, now it’s 27 so I can see it slowly heading in the right direction! Snow has put a stop to my runs this week though

Amazing. Well done you

Mine took seven years and I did shout it from the rooftops

Well worth a little boast and a big cheer!

This is brilliant! Well done to you!

It's not an easy thing to do or in fact maintain!

Well done OP many do not understand the struggles of weight loss and the emotional highs and lows - hope you carry on feeling fantastic and that you treat yourself to a non-food present to celebrate woo hoo!!

Well done you! I'm in the middle of doing the same - started of at BMI 33 and now BMI 27. Have done it by adopting a similar sensible and balanced approach to food as you :) Bye crappy diets! Now need to take a leaf from your exercise book to get to under BMI 25....

Enjoy your improved health, body, and attitude to food and exercise

agh, started "off" not "of"!

Bloody well done!

Congrats OP

Well done to all of you losing weight!

Snow has put a stop to my runs this week though

This is my excuse. Unfortunately we have snow on the ground from Dec to early April :-)
