I am still losing an average of 3lb a week (I have a lot to lose!) but I have finally lost the morbid bit - I am just obese!!

Hi Chicvic that is brilliant well done it is such a good feeling when you pass a milestone

Woohoo. Well done!

Congratulations Chicvic. That is so great for you and such a brilliant example to others about this woe. Well done.

Hi Chickvic Well done on moving down to obese from the ''other'' group great feeling isn't it (last week for me) We will NEVER see that m/o again deffo, Congratulations on the amount you have lost so far
Now we both have the next one to get through a long one I think but we WILL make it Sue

Well done! It feels so good doesn't it?

Well done indeed! These arbitrary definitions have a surprisingly powerful effect on the way we think about ourselves (and others think about us too in some cases). Although your body won't suddenly be dramatically different, psychologically I think there is a big difference.

Fantastic! So pleased for you.

well done- you must feel great and it is a briliant achievement.
I personally hate the terminology as I feel that psychologically it is quite damaging, but hey ho, they didn't ask me ! Would not use it when I was doing health clinics and always just pointed to the chart saying 'your weight puts you within this centile' and then take it from there. Hope I didn't damage anyone!
Great going from you -

Woo Hoo!

Congratulations Vicki! Well done on reaching such a significant milestone! I agree with Caroline that things like this have a surprisingly powerful effect psychologically; I know for me personally dropping from 'obese' to 'overweight' was a big deal and gave me renewed motivation to continue. All the best for the next bit!

Chicvic, this is inspirational! Congratulations!

Well done Vicki! Always wonderful to be able to re-classify yourself.

I'm envious! WTG!!

That sums it up really well, I feel on top of the world, have broken the 20 stone barrier as well so it feels like a huge win! This woe is amazing!
