I started 4 months ago at 315 pounds.

315 pounds. At 5'7", that's a BMI of 49.3.

Morbidly obese. So fat that I was shortening my life span. Eating myself to death.

Today I weighed in at 252.

That's a BMI of 39.5. Still 100+ pounds to lose. Still obese.

But as of today, I'm just obese. No more morbid. Just... obese.

I'm cool with that.

For now.

    That is awesome! I'm just getting started, but I look forward to joining you in "just" obese. Of course, by that time, you will probably have moved on to "overweight"--but I'll keep chasing! :)

    Congrats.

    Losing the "morbid" is great, you're well on your way to merely "overweight".

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this!! I'm in the same boat. Using a BMI calculator back in 11/12 and seeing that term "morbidly" obese came up was one of the final straws that pushed me over the edge to start my weight loss with a vengeance. I had forgotten to check that recently and your post prompted me to go look. I crossed the line to being merely "obese" a few days ago as well!!!!

    It might seem silly to some to celebrate just being "obese" but it took me 34 hard won pounds to get there - I'm loving it! Thank you and congrats to both of us.

    Now we have to nail that obese/overweight line and we're off to our normal weight ranges. Lots of hard work ahead but it's exciting to see the changes. You look fantastic by the way!! Cheers to leaving morbid behind us! :happy:
