Who would have ever thought I would be happy to be obese? At my heaviest I was 315.3 lbs and had a BMI of 51 (morbidly obese). Today I weighed in at 245.4 which makes my BMI 39.6 so I can officially stop being morbid and just be obese for a while. I'll let you all know when I'm overweight, it wont be for sometime but I will get there. :bigsmile:

    I know what you mean. When I went overweight from obese I was ecstatic, It's really funny because when you put weight on and go into that bracket you are so depressed.

    Its great and I bet you are feeling so much better, well done.

    Well done moving down a category!
    I am in the obese category too. My first goal is to get into the overweight category. I will be delighted to be called overweight.

    Well you have to be proud of yourself because that's fantastic!
    I'm classed as obese at the moment but just a few more pounds and I will be classed as overweight. I can't weight (pardon the pun) to be in that catergory :) Yeay!

    I still have a LONG way to go before I'm in that category. lol

    Congratulations on the weight loss! That's awesome! Moving out of the "morbid" category has got to feel pretty good! Personally I never understood why they call it that, it's a stupid name and makes it sound so ....morbid. heh

    Instead of "Overweight", "Obese" and "Morbid Obese" it should be like "Plump", "Chunky", and "Hefty" ...or something like that. lol

    I want to add my congratulations. When I moved from obese to overweight I was estatic. I went on vacation for a week and moved back into obese. What a bummer! Now, I've gotten back on the horse, am overweight and working towards healthy. Keep up the good (and hard) work!:smile:

    Congratulations! I remember when I went from obese to overweight, I was so excited as I have been obese almost my whole life! Now I am 16 pounds away from being at the top of a normal weight for someone at my height :)))

    I totally understand why your excited. Im on the border of morbidly obese and obese. I am going to love not being called morbidly. I will take obese any day over that. Before we know it, we will just be over weight according to our BMI. Keep up the great work.

    Congratulations! It's a big step and a positive attitude. That tells me that you are on your way to your healthy weight. To get there you'll need a good sense of self and a sense of humour and you've got both. :laugh:

    I had to laugh at the heading. :laugh: Only people who have battled true weight issues could understand how the WooHoo would preceed obese. I can not wait to be simply overweight. That sounds so funny doesn't it?

    Way to go on moving down into a healthier new you! Keep it up!

    Great job!

    Reaching those minigoals make the whole struggle so much easier!

    Come to think of it, why do we call these minigoals? They're herculean!
