First time in normal BMI range in 15 years

Normal BMI hit me around 40 lbs and I did not expect to feel it in my chest like that. Mine was a Tuesday and I just stood there

I did the same thing at a similar point, just stood there staring at the number and not quite believing it. Fifteen years of never seeing that range is a long time to carry around.

Did you actually stand there staring at it like reply 2 did? I'm at 41 down and the BMI number hasn't budged into normal yet, so I'm curious how close to the line you were before it tipped.

I got misty over a smaller thing, fitting into an old pair of jeans again. Fifteen years is a long wait, so let this one land.

Curious how long you sat with the number before it actually sank in. I'm only a few pounds into this and still checking the scale like it owes me an explanation.

normal BMI is a wild thing to see after that long, I'm 27 down and still a ways off but this makes me want to keep going. Did the number on the scale feel real or did you have to stare at it a minute?

The 25 lb mark got me too, so 44 and a normal BMI must be a whole different level. What did you do with the rest of your morning after seeing that number?

I hit normal BMI a couple months back and just sat on the bathroom floor for a minute. Fifteen years is a lot of old numbers to let go of

I hit that line a few weeks back and honestly just sat on the bathroom floor for a minute. Fifteen years is a long time to carry a number around.

I got misty crossing out of the obese range, so 15 years of waiting for normal must have hit hard. Was there a specific number you'd been bracing for all that time?

I'm only about 3 lbs in so that normal range feels like a far-off country, but this gives me something to aim at besides just the number going down

Only a couple pounds in myself so nowhere near that line yet

A random Tuesday is exactly how mine hit too, no big announcement just a quiet double take in my own bathroom. Still sinking in

I'm only a few pounds in myself but this makes me want to keep going. Did you do anything to mark the day?

I did the same thing, pulled the BMI chart back up on my phone just to be sure I wasn't misreading the line. Weirdly proud moment for a stupid calculator

I'm only 21 down so nowhere near that BMI flip yet, but this makes me want to keep going just to see my own face when it happens.

I had a similar moment around 40 lbs down and just stood there staring at the number. Fifteen years is a long stretch to carry that around, so the emotion makes sense.

I'm at 30 down and nowhere near normal BMI yet, so this gives me something concrete to aim at. Did the number on the scale hit you first or was it the BMI chart?

What got me was the clothes I'd kept in the back of the closet, pulling them out and finding they actually fit again. That hit harder than the number did.

Did the number on the scale actually match what you expected, or did it catch you off guard?
