I went to Japanese festival today in St. Louis. They had sumo wrestlers. You’d expect that these would be the hugest of men in our time – you’d be wrong. We are fat, beyond fat – obese. I think even beyond obese. Obese is >= 130% of ideal weight. That’s almost everybody these days. We routinely see people that are 200%, maybe 300%.
What would be your term for those super-duper sized people?

the correct answer is morbidly obese. these categories are based on a person's "body mass index" or BMI
BMI 20-25 is normal or ideal
25-30 is over-weight
30-40 is obese
>40 is morbidly obese

Morbidly obese
although I'm not sure if sumo wrestlers are morbidly obese as they have a fair amount of energy expenditure

Well there is another category of 'Morbidly Obese', maybe they need yet another one! How about 'Infinitely Obese' or 'Beyond Obese' like you suggested? HTH : )
