Hi Folks, Just did the BMI calculator again and I am obese! Prior to my surgery in July, I was morbidly obese according to the BMI calculator! Never thought I'd be excited

to be obese!

I'm 8 months out and down 65 lbs. I'm exercising every day. I'm now doing Walk Away the Pounds Three Mile walk! It's great! Just wanted to share. Have a good day y'all! XO JA

Hi JA CONGRATS for being obese now!! Spring will be here very soon and you will burn more calories outside by doing excercise outside. Keep your excercise up and tell your coach, Linda W. about this. She will be proud of you and is happy to hear this RIGHT LINDA W. Where are you ? come back on Ct message board Hugs Kathy K

Hi JA! Isn't it awesome to be obese!

I was thrilled when I found out I was obese. It seems funny to be happy about such a thing but when you start out as super morbidly obese (like I did) - IT'S A GOOD THING!!!
