When will you not be OBESE anymore? - Page 2 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

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".

tamaralynn · 01-02-2008, 08:22 PM

at 199 I'll be overweight. 165 for healthy

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

sock monkey, I also have around 20 lbs to be no longer obese

According to 3fc bmi at 149 I am no longer obese. At 123 I am normal. Heck I didn't know I was " Normal " even at 120 lol.

174 I will be just over weight and not obese. Ack...I didnt realize I had went back up TO obese status. Thats unsettling

Hurry up 174, eh?!?! I have to be 145 to not be considered overweight...however I feel amazing at 150-155 so when I get there I'll be thrilled!

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!

shy moment, you are the same height as me, us shorties got a long way to go huh, that is what www.myfooddiary.com tells me about 149 to become overweight, I am looking at April 1st, (in my head) but in reality I need to step my game up, how have you come down 40 lbs?
how long did it take?
WE WANT PICS BABY!

Jelbb · 01-04-2008, 11:41 PM

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!

lettingslenderin · 01-05-2008, 01:02 AM

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!

lorilove · 01-05-2008, 05:46 PM

10 more lbs to go - I need to be 185 to be overweight.

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!!!!
