I'm not like your mother so no need to agree with Cheryl. I did not
intend for it to sound mean. I'm only 5'3" tall. Before I developed
Crohn's Disease I weighed about 130 lbs. Pretty much what I'd expect
for my height, age and general living habits. I was fine with it.

Then I dropped about 20 lbs in a couple of months without changing a
thing. It wasn't planned, it was alarming. I went to the doctor. It
took about a month before the medication I'm taking helped me get back
to 125-130.

I was sincere in offering my congratulations to Cindy. Anyone who wants
to lose weight and has found a successful way to do it, kudos!
