According to my beginning BMI, I was super morbidly obese..suddenly, I get curious and realize I am just overeight!! Wow.. This also includes MUSCLE as well as other stuff.. And another wow moment for me..I only weight 40 pounds more than my sister who has been tiny all her life. I still don't see it. Chart breakdown:
Category BMI range - kg/m2
Severely underweight less than 16.5
Underweight from 16.5 to 18.5
Normal from 18.5 to 25
Overweight from 25 to 30
Obese from 30 to 35
Clinically Obese from 35 to 40
Morbidly Obese above 40

Thanks, Denise! It's only a matter of time for you, and probably not very far off either.

Not sure what my BMI is now, not that worried about it really, I just thought that it was extremely cool, when I went back to doc for 6 week checkup i was told that now even if i had every comorbidity in the book that i would not qualify for WLS.  Thats how much weight i had lossed.  That was a way cool feeling.
