| Thanks everyone!
The BMI list I have been given is as follows:
<16 = severely underweight 16-18.5 = underweight 18.5-25 = normal 25-30 = overweight 30-35 = Obese Class 1 35-40 = Obese Class 2 (severe) 40-45 = Obese Class 3 (morbid) 45> = super obesity
but when I look at different websites, they all seem to have something slightly different. This looks like the most comprehensive list, so it's the one I've decided to use. I can't wait for the day when the word "obese" no longer applies! | |

| I was told super obese was BMI of >50. EEEEEEKKKKK!!! Was bad enough being morbidly obese and just a hop step and as jump away from being super obese. |

| Congrats Rozzie!! I didn't realise BMI over 45 tipped us over to being Super Obese! I can happily say that I am no longer Super Obese too yay!
I have gone from 49 down to 44.1 YAY lol | |

| As of this morning, my BMI is now below 45, and I am no longer in the category of SUPER OBESE!
I never thought I would be happy to be considered MORBIDLY OBESE, but that is now what I am! Now to roll on to my next goal of 116kg, when I will only be SEVERELY OBESE!
Gotta love all these categories they give us! LOL | |
