First time in normal BMI range in 15 years

Stepped on the scale this morning and realized my BMI finally dipped back into the normal range for the first time since my twenties. It's honestly surreal after a decade and a half of never seeing that number. Down around 44 lbs and still going, but this moment felt worth pausing for. Anyone else get a little emotional hitting a milestone like this?

I'm down 18 myself but haven't hit a real milestone yet, curious what tipped it for you emotionally? Like was it the number itself or just how long it had been

I got weirdly quiet when the app finally showed a healthy BMI, no happy tears just staring at it. Fifteen years is a long time to carry that number around.

I'm not at that line yet, still a ways off, but the "surreal" part is what sticks with me. Some mornings the number just doesn't match how I feel in my own body.

The app glitch feeling is real, i did the math twice before believing my own number

Cried in my car the morning I crossed into normal, mostly because I'd stopped checking that column years ago. Did you screenshot the scale or just stand there staring at it?

I got misty over a BMI app screenshot too, and I'm only 21 lbs in. Fifteen years is a long wait, glad you paused for it

normal BMI is the one that would wreck me too. I'm about 29 down and still a ways off, but this gives me something to aim at.

I got weirdly quiet when mine crossed over, not emotional exactly, just sat there on the edge of the tub for a minute. Fifteen years is a long time to carry a number around

I know the feeling. I sat on the bathroom floor for a minute when my BMI hit normal after so many years in the obese range.

I hit my own milestone a few weeks back and just sat on the bathroom floor for a minute. Fifteen years is a long stretch to carry that number around.

The normal BMI thing got me too and I'm only about 29 down, so fifteen years of waiting must have hit like a truck. Did you screenshot the scale or just stand there staring at it?

Not a number thing for me, but I got weirdly emotional when I could tie my shoes without holding my breath. Fifteen years is a long stretch, enjoy the pause.

I stepped off the scale and sat on the bathroom floor for a bit when mine flipped over. Never thought a number on a screen would get me like that

The number on the scale barely moves for me so far, but the idea of seeing a BMI I haven't seen since my twenties is what keeps me going. Did you do anything to mark the day, or just let it sit?

I'm at 22 lbs myself and still a ways off from that range, but the fifteen years part is what gets me. That's a long time to carry a number around.

did it hit you in the mirror before the scale, or was the number itself the moment? I ask because I'm a bit further down and the mirror caught me off guard way before any chart did

I got misty over a belt notch, so a BMI line would probably wreck me. Still chasing that one myself

How long did it take you to get there? I'm at 48 down and still a few points out, so I'm curious whether the last stretch moved slower for you than the earlier pounds did.

Only 18 lbs in for me so normal BMI still feels a long way off, but you just made me realize I should be marking the smaller stuff too instead of waiting for that one big number
