Yes, you are obese, but this isn't anything you can't change.  I would recommend seeking  the recommendations of a dietician and a fitness expert.  

Don't get discouraged.....you can change this dear.

im sure you will get there, you sound like you want to lose weight like myself, i did go right up to 20 stone at one stage, when you want something real bad you will do it. i will tell you what has been working for me. i have been losing a stone a month so far. i have been taking two types of supplements, acai berry 600mg  two with each meal and 2  Inner Cleanse Detox 4546mg before bed. i been buying them from health spark online, quite cheap. i got myself in to the same routine for 4 months now with food and it gets a bit boring sometimes but it works, i been having 50g of shredded wheat with cranberry and raspberry for breakfast then about 1pm i have 1 sliced salmon sandwich for lunch with jalapenos and a boiled egg and about half a hand full of plain nuts. and for dinner i have 1 or 2 pieces of fish salmon, mackerel, etc with plain mixed salad jalapeno peppers, half a beetroot and a boiled egg. i stopped taking sugar and cows milk, i changed to sweeteners and soya milk. drink plenty of water. thats it, but you have to make sure you stick to your routine with no exceptions, always eat a small breakfast. if you skip a meal, your body will start to think you are starving yourself and store food so you put on weight.  this seems to be working for me, i hope this helps. good luck :-)

The medical classification of weight is based on BMI. Underweight is BMI 30. To calculate your BMI, divide your weight (in kg) by your height (in cm) squared (multiplied by itself).

[steel83]

Your BMI result is: 36.16

You are in the range that is classified as obese and your health would greatly benefit from a life-long reduction in weight.

nothing to worry about, your just like me, just try eating healthy and less, it works.
