At 41 lbs down myself and chasing that same moment, so this hits hard. I teared up at my last clothing size drop, can't imagine what a normal BMI reading will do to me. Congrats, that's fifteen years of waiting paid off.
First time in normal BMI range in 15 years
I'm a few pounds behind you at 47 down and hoping to hit normal BMI soon, so this is exactly the kind of post I needed to see. Fifteen years of carrying that number around is a long time, and you earned every ounce of that surreal moment.
I teared up at a similar moment around 40 lbs down, so I get why this one hit different. Fifteen years is a long wait to see that number again, and honestly the milestone itself becomes fuel for the rest of the journey. Well earned.
Congrats, that normal BMI moment really does feel unreal after so long. I crossed into it a while back and now I'm 56 lbs down, still weirded out every time I catch my reflection. Take the win, you earned it.
Huge milestone, and yes, I got weirdly emotional at mine too. Only about 7 lbs in on my end so reading this gives me a picture of what's waiting down the road. Fifteen years is a long time to finally get that number back.
27 lbs in myself right now, so seeing that normal BMI post is like a preview of the finish line. I cried a little at my 25 lb mark, so I can only imagine how hitting yours feels after 15 years. Congrats, keep pausing for these moments when they come.
17 lbs in here and posts like this are exactly why I keep showing up to read. Fifteen years of waiting for a number makes that moment hit different, so glad you let yourself actually feel it instead of just chasing the next milestone.
Got chills reading this because I'm at 39 lbs down myself and that normal BMI line is the one I've been staring at on my chart for months. I teared up when I crossed out of obese range, so I can only imagine the flood after 15 years of waiting. Savor it, you earned every ounce of that moment.
Crossing that line after 15 years is huge, congrats. I teared up too when I hit normal range at 64 lbs down -- still weird stepping on the scale and not bracing myself. Glad you paused for it instead of just chasing the next number.
Congrats, 15 years is a long time to wait on one number. I crossed into normal range last month at 45 down and honestly just sat there staring at the scale like it was broken. The weird part is how fast the brain catches up to the body -- still feels surreal.
