Wow, I’m feeling delinquent next to all you weight losers!!! Congrats CBB! Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs.MOWC!!!
Terrific, CBB! And Romani- glad the weight is slipping off. That’s tough on steroids.
I’m going stir crazy trapped in my airplane seat for over 4 1/2 hours total. I’ve gotten up a couple of times, but this plane is not conducive to strolls.
Oops… that should obviously be net LOSS in weight…
Congrats to CBBBlinker on TWO 5 lb parties!
It is snowing. I am not happy.
Ah, another piece of good news! My MD/PhD professor who has been helping me through all of this ran my case by a friend (with my permission) and he agreed to take me on as a patient. He happens to be the founder/director of the Lupus Center at U of M.
I’m very optimistic. We haven’t set up the appointment yet but if anyone can help me, it’s probably going to be this place. 
C3Baker… Ouch. It is April!! 
Romani, that is good news.
Cheers for CBB being down 5 x 2 !
Happy Anniversary to MoWC and DoWC!
Lots of good news here today and it’s all–even the bra talk–so uplifting 
Well, I scheduled a BodPod body fat evaluation for today. It’s a pretty easy process. I was a bit worried about feeling claustrophobic being closed in, but the window is large and it wasn’t a problem. Unfortunately, the BodPod number was about 2% higher than my Tanita scale (I was really hoping my scale was wrong… oh well), which means I have a bit more weight to lose than I’d hoped. I was of course secretly hoping that I was solid muscle and needed to eat more ice cream.
A neighbor expressed concern on Monday that I was becoming anorexic and dieting too much. I am losing about a pound a month and am down 60 pounds over the last four years… (My swim buddy, who is actually a physician, suggests 8 more pounds would be right. And she’s seen me naked in the locker room.) I know I’m not anorexic, but I think it speaks to the general misperception of appropriate weight that is out there. I couldn’t believe the neighbor thought it was her business, but I have to assume her concern is genuine. I’d have to lose about 30 more pounds, though, before I’d be considered to have low body fat!
Weather here today? Mid-80s and sunny. I had to water my vegetable garden.
Being disciplined about food/eating is not anorexia.
Great news Romani!
What pizzagirl said.
@Pizzagirl and @MomofWildChild – my point exactly.
I think that there is a certain type who, after a few miserable fails to control own diet, gets convinced that only anorexic people can drop weight, and therefore anyone who loses weight is sick. I have been approached by a handful of such concerned individuals in the past.
@BunsenBurner — you know, I expect that’s about right. This is the second time someone with “food issues” has suggested I’m anorexic because I am continuing to lose weight–and they both have that failure to control their own diet in common.
This weather is UNBELIEVABLE. I think we beat all records today. 80+ degrees! I managed to do a couple of miles after work. Ahhhh…
I’m in Southern California at a gorgeous resort and it’s drizzly and cloudy, but still gorgeous. Will be a chilly run in the morning- and hilly.
So much good news on weight loss! Congrats to all of you. Happy anniversary, MoWC.
MOfWC, enjoy. Today is the first day of this year when I am not dreaming of tropical sunsets. Oh, wait… My inner Pacific Islander says not so fast.
Yeesh, can some of you send your weather my way? It’s been hovering around freezing and rain, snows, and sleets on and off all day for the last 3 days.
I wish I cold send you some, Romani! I have two MASSIVE drafts I need to work on this weekend, and this weather is not helping.
