    Well done!

    A few months ago I went from "morbidly obese" to just regular "obese"! Haha, WOO!

    awesum for you! I think that word sucks PERIOD... unless your like 400 pounds! then i think over wt works for a LOTTA pounds over wt.. 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
    doctors scales can too

    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.
