I know it's a minor step along this LONG journey I'm on, but I just re-ran my BMI calculator based on today's weight and I am FINALLY out of the "Obese" category - I've made it to just plain "Overweight"!

Re: No Longer "Obese"
That day was one of my biggest celebrations! And, at 178 and 5'5" tall, I am just barely out! 29.6 (up to 29.9 is overweight). As bad as overweight still sounds, it much better than obese!

Re: No Longer "Obese"
Congrats to you Wendy. I am proud of you girl.
I can't wait until I am out of the obese range. I hate that word with a passion. I was at the doctor the other day and after weighing me the nurse yelled out, yeah he has lost some weight but he is still obese not morbidly obese but still obese. I wanted to crawl under a table and hide but I just gave her a nasty stare and moved on. The nerve of some people. Sorry to rant and rave on your celebration Wendy. ttyl, bradyMale

Re: No Longer "Obese"
Thank you everyone! It's kind of surreal - I'm so used to thinking of myself as "obese"!
Hey Brady - that nurse should be FIRED! I hope you let the doc know formally about what she did. That is so unprofessional! I'm impressed you limited your response to just a stare - I don't think I could have kept my mouth shut!5'4" Female, 39 Years
