My BMI is 26.5. The highest "normal" is 24.9. I'm getting there...so close I can feel it! 7 months, 100 lbs, almost normal BMI, FEELING normal sized and so healthy. Cholesterol not only normal but amazing. Blood sugar is great (I was not diabetic but it's still nice to see this result.) Blood pressure is perfect. Heart rate has improved greatly although still higher than a really fit person. Running 4 miles. I'm just in SUCH a better place than I was a few short months ago.

I know this isn't just me. It's all of us becoming who we've always hoped to be, no matter what that looks or feels like. We all have our own goals. I just wanted to share with you where I stand in mine. Thanks for sharing this experience with me!
