Thanks CF! Jeez, I thought super obese was MORE than morbidly obese. Never thought I'd be saying that I can't wait to be obese!!
Hopefully I can be that by 13th Sept, which is when we go on holiday. Thanks for your encouragement. xx

Hey Cathy, my second mini target was to get out of morbidly obese but I couldn't understand why I was then super obese!!! Chemist told me the next category above morbidly obese was super morbidly obese!!!!! I'm sure those who started with BMI's over 45 would say there is nothing super about that either!!!!

How much weight do you need to be "just" obese? You have 6 weeks before you go so I'm sure you'll make it!

I have 16lb to go before I am no longer obese and I can't wait! Never thought I'd be happy about being overweight!!! Lol!!!!

Good luck for the coming week.

Thanks CF, I'm not sure how many actual pounds I need to lose to be just obese, I've tried looking on charts, but get confused. I THINK I need to drop about 8 BMI points to get there. Anyway, I'll get there in the end!
You've done brilliantly, keep it up now!

Hello Cathy,

What height are you in metres? I'm 1.65m and to be no longer obese I need to weigh 12 stone 11lb.

If you are a different height then use a calculator and work out the following sum replacing height with your height in metres. First it works out your weight in kgs then you can change it to pounds then stone and pounds. You need to get below that to no longer be obese.

30 x (height x height) = weight in kg
kg x 2.2 = pounds

If you can't do that then let me know your height in metres or feet and inches and I'll work it out for you.

Good luck.

Awww, struggled to do the maths! I'm 1.62m (5ft 4in) If you could work it out for me Cuddlyfairy, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks, Cathy

when you started the diet your BMI was 42.6 - Morbidly Obese

your BMI now is 39.7 = Severely Obese

At 198lbs [14st 2lbs] your BMI will be 34.0 = obese

At 160lbs [11st 6lbs] your BMI will be 29 = overweight

At 145lbs [10st 5lbs] your BMI will be 24.9 = ideal

hope that helps

Oh THANKS Lisa, that's brilliant, now I have mini goals to aim for, cheers
