3 weeks out from bypass....BMI got below the label "Super Obese", did not notice the exact moment that occurred Darn, first time in my life I was labeled "Super" and I just threw it away. Speaking of labels, "Morbid" -- I think we need new labels.... I am going for Small Giants, Giants, and Really Big Giants...

Congrats!! Love your sense of humor by the way

lol love it, I had to go in for a nuclear stres test recently and between the meds they had me on and the radioactive tracer dye, my wife told the doc she was upset i didnt get any super powers...Then again i was upset too.

sigh.

lol

Lol I have always thought Super Obese sounded better than Morbidly Obese

Oh - haha. I thought someone labeled you as obese so you put on a cape and became Super Obese.

I've heard it all...been called morbidly obese, big as a house, five by five, fat as a whale, two ton Tessie, etc. I am now in the normal weight range based on BMI and any other determinating criteria and thankful and grateful as can be. My life is so much better in every way imaginable.

You made me smile.

Congratulations on getting "Un-Super-Sized"! The BMI chart I used, had me starting at Class III Obesity. Since I liked to make (and achieve) every possible milestone, I celebrated: Class II obesity, Class I obesity, Overweight, Normal Weight, every 5 pounds lost, every 10 pounds lost, every 5 pounds left to goal, every 10 pounds left to goal, every quarter of the way to (or from) goal, every third of a the way to (of from), halfway there, and every one of the last five. And, of course, every shirt or pants size. It's insanely obsessive, but it makes it fun to achieve so many milestones. And by "celebrated", I mean with a fist pump, not a treat.

I think it's SUPER that you are no longer super. But you are SUPER, just not super.

Oh wow. I just realized that I started out super morbidly obese. I passed through morbid obesity and now I'm merely obese.

Just a wisp of a lil' thing, I am.

I have always hated the term "morbidly" obese as well. Cheers.

Too funny!

I am just a few pounds short of leaving obese class 1 for overweight! I plan to Celebrate as I started in the obese class 3 category.

I love to celebrate all the victories too and I plan to party hard! Maybe I will have some extra carrot sticks that day! LOL

I've always giggled at Gabriel Iglasias' "5 levels of fat". "Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy, and DAYUM!"
