Default woohoo - I am obese
Got on the scale today and have held 240. This means I am no longer morbidly obese -- just obese!!

Good for you! Just wait until you're "Overweight" ... that'll be another cause for celebration (which, btw, happened for me about 180).

Yay!

I remember becoming "just" obese, too! It's fantastic!

Go you! It's hard work and you're doing great.

I also had exactly the same thought as shelby!

Great job! It's such a good feeling to get a new label on the darn BMI, isn't it?

Woohoo That's a great accomplishment. I keep thinking I'll get out of the mordidly obese category one of these days.

I'm so happy for you!!!

Can you tell me what calculator/chart you use??
All the ones I look at don't have specific numbers where it changes from obese to overweight etc...

Thanks, and congratulations again!!!
