VDB 800 Posted May 15, 2015 3 weeks out from bypass....BMI got below the label "Super Obese", did not notice the exact moment that occurred Darn, first time in my life I was labeled "Super" and I just threw it away. Speaking of labels, "Morbid" -- I think we need new labels.... I am going for Small Giants, Giants, and Really Big Giants... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Micdruss 213 Posted May 15, 2015 Lol I have always thought Super Obese sounded better than Morbidly Obese Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharonintx 1,275 Posted May 15, 2015 Oh - haha. I thought someone labeled you as obese so you put on a cape and became Super Obese. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted May 15, 2015 I've heard it all...been called morbidly obese, big as a house, five by five, fat as a whale, two ton Tessie, etc. I am now in the normal weight range based on BMI and any other determinating criteria and thankful and grateful as can be. My life is so much better in every way imaginable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogofulm 2,440 Posted May 15, 2015 Congratulations on getting "Un-Super-Sized"! The BMI chart I used, had me starting at Class III Obesity. Since I liked to make (and achieve) every possible milestone, I celebrated: Class II obesity, Class I obesity, Overweight, Normal Weight, every 5 pounds lost, every 10 pounds lost, every 5 pounds left to goal, every 10 pounds left to goal, every quarter of the way to (or from) goal, every third of a the way to (of from), halfway there, and every one of the last five. And, of course, every shirt or pants size. It's insanely obsessive, but it makes it fun to achieve so many milestones. And by "celebrated", I mean with a fist pump, not a treat.

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 15, 2015 I think it's SUPER that you are no longer super. But you are SUPER, just not super. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustWatchMe 7,117 Posted May 15, 2015 Oh wow. I just realized that I started out super morbidly obese. I passed through morbid obesity and now I'm merely obese. Just a wisp of a lil' thing, I am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rizzle01 54 Posted May 15, 2015 I have always hated the term "morbidly" obese as well. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted May 16, 2015 Too funny! I am just a few pounds short of leaving obese class 1 for overweight! I plan to Celebrate as I started in the obese class 3 category. I love to Celebrate all the victories too and I plan to party hard! Maybe I will have some extra carrot sticks that day! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
