JUST REALIZED...
Did you ever think you would feel good saying that? When I made it to being obese I called DH at work and told him I was obese, he thought I was having a pity party and kept sayin no your not dear not anymore. I just kept telling him over and over and finially had to yell Dear I am obese my BMI made it to the point of being obese. He finially got it, men skinny men they just don't get it. Jenn

Hi Cheri! That is so WONDERFUL! I am so happy for you! I have one more pound to go until I am out of the "Morbid Obesity" category! I can't wait!
Hey, were you just kidding about the "super obese" thing? Because you are far from super obese, you're now in the the "Obesity Class II" category. "Super Obese" is a BMI over 50. I know, because I've got a chart on the inside of my bathroom mirror! Can you tell I've been counting it down pound by pound? LOL!
Here's info that I found on the internet:
Super Obesity
Definition
Obesity is a disease of excess body fat. The term "super-obesity" refers to extremely overweight individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 50-60. Super obesity used to be called "malignant" obesity. Patients with BMI > 60 are classified as super-super obese.
