Morbidly obese women is a trend that is growing. More and more women are becoming not just overweight, but morbidly obese which means that they have a BMI (body mass index) of 40 or more. As we age, our metabolisms do slow down somewhat making it easier to hold onto our weight. Coupled with that is the fact that many people simply don't do as much physically as they once did and these factors combined can really make the pounds add up.
