I'm down to 239 which means I'm just 'obese' rather than 'extremely obese'! Sorry I'm such a goof!

You're not a goof! I celebrated when I made it to that point also! Congrats

That's a wonderful thing to celebrate! Your post inspired me to check mine as well, and it turns out my BMI is now supposedly 33.5, so I'm "obese" instead of "morbidly obese!" Yay! I suppose I'm not on the verge of death anymore....

At 5'9" it looks like I'll have to get to 200 to be simply "overweight." 27 more pounds!

Congratulations! That is super!!!

Hey! Then I am not morbidly or extremely obese any longer either yippee!! I just checked! But what is stupid... it says my ideal weight is 131-160 but when I was 170 before I was extremely thin. There is absolutely NO WAY I coud weigh 131 pounds without looking like a pole, as I am large framed, which they don't take into consideration.

Thanks yall!

Bravo!!

No ! No! listen up! You're not a goof. You have a right to be happy! That's a big accomplishment. You've make a big step in the right direction. keep it up!

Thank you

You are 5'9. That is crazy talk! The rule of thumb I go by is for 5 feet = 100 pounds. Every inch after is 5-10 pounds depending on bonestructure. So you with being large boned should be fine at 190!!!!
