Thanks to LowCarbRob for the borrowed title. I didn't want to horn in on his glory on his thread, but I love the title.

Today I weighed in at 184.2. That puts me at a BMI of 39.86 according to my fitday software. According to the same software, 39.9 is the divide. Over that is "morbidly obese." I am still not *quite* at ten pounds of weight loss.

If I were 5'9" tall, these statistics would not make sense. It would take more than ten pounds lost to go from a BMI of 42 to 39.86.

At the recently measured height of 4'9" the stats do make sense. I'll be glad to reach 184.0 so I can celebrate ten pounds gone--I afraid of that dreaded bounce that often occurs. So let's celebrate TODAY! YAY!

Congratulations on being obese! Can't wait till I'm there too!

I am still in the land of morbidly, but working my way down.....

Congrats to you.

Congratulations! Moving down a category is a BIG deal!

Way to Go!

You got me curious and I checked for myself...it looks like I'm JUST straddling the line between obese and morbidly obese myself. 39.9 BMI.

Oh, those party balloons! What a wonderful feeling. You have come so far. Thanks for ballooning me. I'll watch out for the day you pass the milestone. Don't know what I'll do yet, you'll have to wait.
