When I think about it, I doubt the US Marines *today* would allow my father to enlist if he was once again 17 years old. He was only about 5'8" tall and likely only weighed about 150 lbs when he enlisted. But hey, it was WWII, right after Pearl Harbor. Everyone joined up. Mom told me she weighed about 95 lbs. when they got married in 1951. I've got pictures. Her dress hung on her tiny frame. I get it from my parents. > I have to fight with my weight at times and I know how easy it is to > gain and so much harder to lose. > Perhaps if you'd stop eating at McD's?

The medication for the Crohn's Disease has things under control. I'm back to what feels "normal" for me. I have never been a very active person so no, I'm not going to start taking a Roomba class. ![]() Jill |

So was I. > > Jill Understood Jill. It happens. Me, I'm 132 today (Dr's appointment, got weighed). The Doc is happy but says for my back, 120 would be more optimal. Since I'm 5ft1, that is a reasonable weight at 120 and 132 isn't really that big for 5ft1. More like a pint sized size 14 (grin). Until I hit my 40's, I struggled with being underweight. Almost got pulld off shipboard duty when I hit a drastic 88lbs (normal then was 100 but CPO initiation can be stressful). I'll not see 100 again and and do not WANT to be that thin ever again. I like the curves. Cindy will find her happy point as well and I wish her joy. Personally, I'm ok with 132 just fine. Doc is the one who says my back will ease with a minimal loss. At 132 now, I've slimmed some 8lbs since last check. Carol -- |
