    Congrats! You just educated me, too. I didn't know the cut off for morbidity. My BMI is 37.7 now, so I join you in not being morbidly obese! I agree that is such a nasty sounding term to identify

  • I was 46 bmi now 32. Can't wait to be just overweight.

Congratulations! It is fantastic to move to a positive BMI category.

Y'all are all amazing!! Way to go!!

Congrats! I feel like we are sisters! I too started out at a BMI of 60 (well, technically 59.9) and yesterday morning I weighed in and have gotten down under 40. It feels amazing!

I was told that I was acceptably over weight now....instead of morbidly obese..What does that even mean? :(

Learn something new every day...that is a good goal, and one I just achieved. Now back to my other goal to keep losing weight, I've got a ways to go to catch up...congrats on getting to this step on your pathway...

Congrats to you on your huge success! I was also morbidly obese with a BMI of 52 and now I'm only overweight! Never thought I'd see this day.
