without any real effort on my part, but because of medication changes in apr 2006,,,,,i have, as of this week, officially dropped 40+ lbs woo hoo!

i was somewhere over 250lbs (kinda just stopped looking after hitting 250lb, because there wasnt much i could do about it) Now that i’ve been taken off the “Weight-Inducing” meds, and put again on a “weight neutral” med, the artifical weight has been steadily coming off. I dont have any set routine about checking my weight, just whenever i happen to have the time and am ‘sans clothing’, i’ll check the scale. Yesterday’s read-out:210lbs

yay yay yay!

if things continue as it has in the past, i should drop down to 180lbs w/o any effort. Then’s when i’ll have start mindfully whittling off the additional 30lbs. I think being a 5’6” woman medium build woman in her 40’s, that weighing in the 150lbs’ would be a pretty healthy weight for me. I’ll never be “buff”; just want to focus on maintaining health… I have gotten horseback riding and walking back into my weekly life—perhaps then i could add back the strength training and dance lessons….

if for no other reason, i’ve Got To get this weight off to salvage my KNEES! Theyre being pulverized by carrying all this poundage around….
