100 Pounds Lost! Celebration Time!

I. DID. IT.  I've lost 100 pounds.  This was a major goal for me.  Not only am I 100 pounds lighter, but there's also another part that is important to me.   My BMI is now 34.7, which moves me from severely obese to just plain obese.  An "ideal" BMI is 25.  I've never been so happy to just be obese.  My beginning BMI was 50.8.  Click HERE for my preferred BMI calculator.  I like the way that the different BMI levels are broken down.

There are 3,500 calories in a pound.  I have resisted 350,000 calories!  My "standard" meal at McDonald's used to be a #2 (2 cheeseburgers+medium fries).  There are 980 calories in that meal.  I'll round up to 1,000 for mathematical purposes.  That's 350 meals that I've resisted.  Whoa.    


I have more work to do...but today I'm just plain happy.  Happy for a healthier me, grateful to family and friends (on and offline) that have followed my journey.  You guys have cheered me on when I did great, and provided supportive words and occasional kicks in the ass when I needed them.


and finally... THANK YOU, SAL!
