Congrats well done, but if you can loose that much weight, your perpective on obese is wrong. Obese is above bmi 30, morbitly obese is above bmi 35. Real heavy people are way beyond that even.

For someone now weighing 100kg/225 lbs, having 15% bodyfat, 55lbs on top of that would 40% bodyfat. If you weigh less even more.
Denial does not help in general.
Indeed!

I'm 6'2. I was about 228-230 lb a year ago (BMI of 29.3), and about low-170s now (BMI in the low 22s).
Great, very well done. Now the next fase, keep it there for the rest of your life.
