Congrats!
Good work! Being tall works for you! I am 5 ft. 3. period. I am 140.25 right now - & just - I mean "just" under the overweight line. My BMI says I should not weigh over 140.9 or I am "unhealthy and overweight." I'm at the top of the BMI scale too. Normal is considered 18.5 - 24.9 The next number up is 25 - whatever, so if I round down - I am w/in the guidelines - just "barely." It makes me crazy! I was 210 Jan before last. This is work & never enough! I want to get to 135 (HS weight) - not sure I will be able to maintain that - but it's my "goal." I always wished I were taller - I have friends whose "frame" allows them to carry much more w/out anyone guessing. I'm sure there is a down side to that - (?) ; ) In the end we all have to look in the mirror & make that decision. I have people at work also - that (well meaning) make those remarks about going too far - but I know what I look like naked!!! ; ) Good luck on your journey & thanks for letting me vent!
