alllicat's Journal, 04 June 2010

145 this morning. I checked my BMI and now, I am no longer overweight. I'm "normal!"

I know people don't put a lot of stock into BMI calculators and the such, but today I am putting all my eggs in that basket because for the first time it's in my favor. I honestly cannot believe that I am finally in the normal range. I don't look too skinny or sickly. I don't look like a twig. I want to keep going.

After the stand still I felt like May was for me, June is getting off on the right foot. I feel a little of the seesaw action, but it's not as bad as it was last month.

I'm going to hold true to my goal of 10-15 pounds before vacation, I just counted and I have exactly 50 days before I go. I think that my goal is doable.

Right now I'm just trying to enjoy what I've accomplished. I feel like the journey is something I should try to enjoy. I'm significantly smaller than I was last year. I wish I could find some pictures that had my whole body in them, but I was so ashamed of my body that I just couldn't bring myself to take a full length shot. Now I'm running around looking for a camera. Not really, but you get what I'm saying.

There is so much more to talk about, but it's Friday, so enjoy your weekend, and just have fun.

I have a Pancreatic Cancer Awareness walk tomorrow morning. From 9 until 11:30. I hope it doesn't rain. Joe's father passed away last year from the disease, so now we're trying our best to raise awareness and funds to find a cure. If you're interested in helping at all, I'll put the link. If you want to donate or find an event in your area, feel free to PM, I'll help you find something and if you want to "sponsor a walker," I'll give you my full name, to do so.

Have a good weekend!Pancreatic Cancer Walk 6/5/10

PS- Congrats on getting to "normal". I was so relieved when mine stopped saying overweight. :)

Congrats on a great acomplishment. I can't wait to say the same even though like you said the charts can be kinda crazy.

I believe a lot of people have an aversion to BMI because it is older and does not take frame size into consideration and is therefore less "forgiving." I too am at a normal BMI (high end) and believe that for me it is the best measure to use. I hear you when you say that you are not too thin. Do things your own way until you feel "perfect." Congrats on entering the normal BMI range allicat, that is no small feat.

@info: It wasn't easy, when I started my BMI was 34, as of this very moment, it is 24.9. People often bash it, but right now I'm using it as another tool to show how far I've come.

Congrats on being "normal!" :-) My bf made fun of me a few weeks ago for dancing around the living room when my Wii Fit told me I was normal. I agree that BMI calculators don't tell the whole story, but it does feel good when you've hit that next level. Way to go!

Woot Woot!!!! Your so awesome - I remember when I FINALLY got out of obese, then to overweight, and then to "normal" on the BMI chart - I was like, Holy crap, I'm finally normal - NICE! LOL Did you go for your walk with Joe last night? I bet those nice long walks are really helping you because dieting can only take us so far, you know. Have a great Friday - you'll be out of work 1 hour before me.... what ever will I do?! HUGS!!!!

Alli-- do you have another email you could use for the MedCo deal? That's what I did to do it more than once...

Congratulations! You've really done a great job! I wish I could be as consistent. My normal weight will come at 142, I think. Keep it up!
