I am also within a whisker of becoming stage 1 obese, rather than stage 2 which is where I am now.
There are stages... with numbers? I had no idea! I just thought there was "Normal Weight", "Overweight", and "Obese" -- with the morbidly obese being an unofficial designation.
The disappointing thing I have uncovered is that -going by the online BMI calculator that I googled the other day - my goal weight is still considered obese! (Ok, its really at the high end of "overweight", but that is only because it is just ONE POUND under "obese"! WTF? I can lose 183 + pounds and I'm still going to be considered obese?!?! The last time I was 220, I was wearing size 38 pants. Is that really still obese? Uggghh!
