I am Extremely Obese now...

Was just updating my tracker and ticker with a new weight today and noticed that my BMI has now dropped under (just barely) the magical 50 that has categorized me as Super Obese for so long, and I am now classified as "only" Extremely Obese...

Still working the pre-op diet and exercise as best I can, and have more appointments scheduled at WeightWise on Monday. Hopefully I'll be close enough by then that we can schedule a date for surgery!

Playing with the BMI calculator, it looks like I need to loose another 69 pounds to be "merely" Obese - not sure that's going to happen for me without surgery, but at least I'm moving that direction!

Seems like an odd victory to be "Extremely Obese," but it does seem to have brightened my day, so I wanted to share. John
