Transition from Obese Type III to Obese Type II

Biggest early achievement in my weight loss journey came on Day 22 when I transitioned from Obese Class III to Obese Class II. It was amazing to see that scale moving. My Goal is to transition from Obese Class III to Obese Class II to Obese Class I to Overweight to finally Normal Weight range. And this achievement was a very big step in that process.

Now, I felt like Yes I can do it ! I know it is still very far but what is a journey without distance.

Way to Go Anshul !
