No longer Obese, I'm only Overweight now :^)
Good Morning OHers,
I moved out of obese and into overweight when I weighed in this morning for a total weight loss of 73.4. Less than 30 to goal.
Not too shabby for 3 months post op.
Hope everyone else is doing great.

Brenda,
I remember the day well when my wii fit went from saying "that's obese" to "that's overweight"! I was never so happy to be told that I was overweight.
I have 20 pounds to go to be considered normal. I feel great where I am. I have not lost or gained weight since Thanksgiving other than up a few and down a few. I think this is it.
Huge CONGRATS!!!

Jayne,
From my research, those regular BMI charts may never mean a lot to those of us who have been obese, due to increased bone density.
Body fat percentage may be a better tool to know where you are at. I have a scale at home that calculates my BMI and my BF%, which I'm glad to see both of. Sometimes my weight goes up, but the body fat goes down. fine by me!
In any case, overweight is a beautiful thing! I believe Kendra is technically "overweight", and is a size 4. I don't think we need to be smaller than that!!!
Love,
Sue
