Weekly Weigh-in: GOAL!!!!!!

Oh my freaking goodness! It happened! I did it! I reached my goal weight!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! What the hell happens now?!?!?!?! Where's my cheque? Where's my millions of adoring fans? ;)

I actually reached goal about Wednesday. And it was just a matter of staying under. And with last night, it was kind of hard ;) Mexican food, and ice cream and coffee... and fudge, and eggs benedict ;) We went out because it was Valentine's Day! Mary should have a better post about that because I've been busy with this stuff :D

So, okay, here's the numbers!

Current weight: 99.5 kgs (219.4 lbs)
Previous weight: 101.7 kgs (224.2 lbs)
Highest weight: 229 kgs (504.8 lbs)
Weight loss this week: 2.2 kgs (4.8 lbs)
Total weight lost: 129.5 kgs (285.4 lbs)

And for good measure!



To commemorate this moment, I also made a video with all of my progress pics! I started working on it a while ago. Today Mary took some photos of me to finish it off. I finished it before I knew my official weight, but I surpassed my goal.

I suggest going to the youtube link to view it bigger/HQ.



I DID IT!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Overweight and Medium

So, as the previous post showed, according to BMI I'm no longer obese! WOO FREAKING HOO!

I figured I'd share an interesting BMI stat! At my heaviest weight, 229 kgs / 504.8 lbs, my BMI was 66.6 :D My weight was evil! But a BMI of over 60? That's almost unfathomable to most people. Hell, so is over 500 lbs and over 200 kgs.

I'm not sure of all the classifications, and they're different everywhere, but I believe the highest is super obese? Which is a BMI of 50 or above. I was definitely that. Then I was morbidly obese. Then I was severely obese. Then just regular old obese. Now I'm overweight.

I remember reading Kim's post about becoming overweight, and wanting desperately to be the same. There's something about that word, "obese." It's a rather amorphous word, at least in my mind. It's as if there are no boundaries to it. "Overweight" is very particular about what it describes. There's some safety, at least in the mind, with that.

One other thing. The other day I bought a few singlets/tank tops and boxers in size Medium... the reason I bought them in Medium? They fit! Fan-dabi-dozi! If it weren't for my body issues, I'd buy regular clothes in Medium, I think.

I'm now also only 1.7 kgs away from my goal, or 3.7 lbs! If not this week, perhaps next week I'll get there. I hope this week, though, as Mary will be here!

Weekly Weigh-in: NO LONGER OBESE!

I've been bitten by the sugar demon. I've been infected by infructosenza. CARBS! AHHH!

I've learned something, though. Sugar to me is like a drug after not having heaps of it for so long. Cakes, ice creams, cookies, juice, soda. Seriously. Today Mary and I were talking about it. We both wanted chocolate or anything sweet soooo badly. It was crazy. I haven't been craving sweet stuff in so long, but it was insane how much I wanted anything sweet. My mind was going through all the things I could eat. When I finally ruled out buying anything, my mind switched to the various things I could make. Sugar destroyed my mind.

But now I'm thinking clearer. No sugar for a while, I think. But damn that caramel slice we walked past looked so good... bah!

Today we went clothes shopping. Well not so much shopping, as trying things on. It was fun :) Well I had fun.

Anyway, weigh-in!

Current weight: 101.7 kgs (224.2 lbs)

Previous weight: 102.3 kgs (225.5 lbs)

Highest weight: 229 kgs (504.8 lbs)

Weight loss this week: 0.6 kgs (1.3 lbs)

Total weight lost: 127.3 kgs (280.6 lbs)

Okay, REALLY didn't expect that. After the mega choc shake, burrito, pizza, caramel chocolate slice, ginger slice, etc. I figured I was heading for a gain.

Btw, you should totally check out Mary's new food blog. It's photos of the stuff she eats (which is pretty much stuff I'm eating too), and they're really good, so check it! It'll make you hungry!

Oh, btw, this probably should have been a milestone, but I forgot/didn't know. 280 lbs is 20 stone. I've lost 20 stone. That doesn't mean much to me, but to the Brits reading it might :)

*edit* Okay, holy crap. I just checked my BMI. 6'1" 224.2 lbs... BMI = 29.6! I'M OVERWEIGHT! HOLY CRAP!!!!! I really am just fat, now! The Fat Lazy Guy is apt! Haha. FREAKING CRAZY!

Okay, that is a milestone. I don't even care if I didn't put it down. I'm stupid for not having put it down earlier. WOO! Definitely sending this in for blogger news on Two Fit Chicks & a Microphone :D

Okay, that's all. Early post. I'm tired. School starts in a couple days. GAH! Do not want to even think about it.
