    Fantastic!!! Welcome my sister. I entered overweighthood awhile back. Isn't it wonderful? I'll be watching for the day we enter normalhood, although I don't know if that is a weight that is good for me. You should be very proud and treat yourself to doing something special to you. Continuing downward, Terrie

    I know when I went from "overweight" to "normal" range I darn near cried.

    Oh and the day I realized I weighed less than it said on my driver's license I just about lost it altogether!!!!

OBESE is bad.. .sounds like an elephant.. who knows.. but for my height.. and actual wt on a scale.. even after this wt loss im prolly still considered "obese".. even though i can wear a size 12/14! so yeah.. some verbage can fly a kite with me, LOL

    You know you can be underweight and still be medically obese. It really has nothing to do with how much you weigh but the percentage of fat to muscle. NWMO is the acronym. used, Normal Weight Medially Obese. I know competitive power lifters and based on their height and weight we would call them obese; however, their body fat is low, low, lower than the normal body fat percentage.
