I just checked the BMI calculator and now I'm considered "obese" instead of morbidly obese. Whoo-hoo! I had to laugh - it's seems like such a backhanded complement. You're fat, but not that fat. LOL

This reminds me of years ago when my teenage son was around 3 years old. My (late) husband said to him, "Momma is doing so well, she lost 20 pounds!" (I was on some sort of diet at the time)...and my son said, "Yeah......but she's still a little bit fat."

Anyways, congrats! :)

Yay for you!!! I was certainly hoping that I was not the only one looking that forward to being just "obese". That's actually my first goal that I had written down before surgery, and as of today, I'm 6 pounds away from no longer being "morbidly obese". I share in your joy and excitement!!! Now on to such things as simply being "overweight" instead of obese, LOL!!!
