Hello all.. I agree with the above. At 5'1", my "ideal weight" is supposed to be 105. Get real !!! I felt great at 125 (20 + years ago), but my main goal besides loosing the weight of course and being able to see my toes, is to get my cholesterol and tryglycerides down in a healthy range and KEEP them there with my glucose levels. For the first time in 10 years, my doc has taken me off of one of my meds for that. Got my labs back this week and they are 144/85. Terriffic!! But I have only lost 1 pound in the last month! But, I also know if I go back to eating the way I used to, they will go back up. for so many years I wanted to be skinny! Now, I just want to be healthy! Keep up the good work! Oh, and Saliena, welcome to our little group!
