That's amazing Bernice - I'm so elated for you! You deserve all good things but knowing you worked so hard for this and knowing that weight in't going to come back must be the best feeling of all. How exciting!!!

Kudo's to you Bernice! You're doing GREAT, a true inspiration!

And you got me wondering... if I'm out of the Morbidly Obese category yet? I need to research that... I am under 40 BMI now too!

For reference:

Category	BMI range – kg/m²
Emaciation	less than 14.9
Underweight	from 15 to 18.4
Normal	from 18.5 to 22.9
Overweight	from 23 to 27.5
Obese	from 27.6 to 40
Morbidly Obese	greater than 40

Although I have seen overweight go from 24 - 30 and not 23 to 27.5.

Thanks, Bernice! Good to know!

Quite a ways to go to get out of Obese category and into Overweight and then Normal. But... we're working it!!
