    I was just talking to hubby about that. I am still considered obese by the scale. I won't be overweight until 162. He thought that was ridiculous, since I am pretty fit for a fattie LOL!

    I also agree with him.

    For me personally to be considered by the BMI scale of no longer being obese is 196 so a few more pound for me to lose before I get there. I am so looking forward to reaching that figure as I started off as morbidly obese, they are nice milestones to head toward during your weight loss journey.

    Well right now I'm "Severely Obese."

    I'll be...
    "Only" Obese- 247
    Overweight- 185
    Healthy- 154-118

    My dream goal is 145. Idk why, it just sounds good..... Even though it's kinda in the high end of the healthy range, I hope to have more muscle (which of course weighs more).

    I need to get to 208 to be just "Overweight" and then to 173 to be "Normal".

    I have to drop to 169 before I am no longer obese. I can't weight! It also happens to be my Easter Goal Weight

    Hmmm,
    Interesting thread.
    Well I've found that I need to lose 12 pounds and I will leave behind the tag 'obese'... I will then have to wallow in 'overweight' until I lose a further 30 pounds... its going to be a long road... but hopefully I should make it!

    Hm. According to my BMI, obesity for me is at 30, and I am 29.9.

    Right now, I'm just your good old fashioned overweight. Whoo!

    Those BMI labels are so cruel. I moved from "severe obesity" to plain "obesity" and had a minor celebration. Then, when I moved from "obesity" to "overweight" I was thrilled.

    I am now just twenty pounds away from the high end of normal.

    Normal, here I come!

    I was so incredibly pumped when I went from being "Overweight" to "Healthy". But honestly, I don't take those BMIs too seriously. I used it as a rough estimate for my goal weight. (130 is approximately in the middle of my target range, according to BMI) But other than that, I think it's over rated.

    C'mon now, Brat Pitt is considered overweight according to that scale! BRAD PITT!!!!
