Finally! I am no longer 'morbidly obese'

[Mom2_4 0]

I have been waiting for this day for so long. No matter how many milestones I have hit, this one was still nagging at me, that I was still 'morbidly' obese. When I die, I don't want it to be because I am FAT.

WOOT WOOT!! congrats sweetie! I can't wait to get to that point too... I wonder what that BMI is.. and then the BMI for just "overweight".. I'll be happy if I get to that because I thought I looked pretty good when I was considered "overweight".. lol

Cheers and congratz for reaching this milestone Melanie! Isn't nice to get rid of that "morbidly" word? Yahoooo! :smile2:

Coolcrystal, here's some info I obtained from the 'net:

BMI over 40 .................. morbidly obese

BMI 30 to 39.9 .............. obese

BMI 25 to 29.9 .............. overweight

BMI 18.5 to 24.9 ........... healthy weight

BMI below 18.5 ............. underweight

If I get to my goal, I'll still be overweight, and I'm with you, I'll be happy if I get to that!

You know, Obese is such an ugly sounding word. Fat doesn't sound so bad coming from my lips but the way the the letters fall together in the word OBESE make me shiver. Like the word gurgle. Oh I hate the way that word sounds too.

Now back to the subject at hand. Mom2_4 when I was just starting out trying to figure out if the lapband was right for me, I was going through this BMI chart, and it said I was "Super Obese" SUPER OBESE! I was highly offended and cussed the chart and told it to mind it's own damn business and that it needed to keep my name out it's mouth.

Congrats on your achievement.
