A little over a month ago I set a task for myself, to get into "healthy weight range" by my husband's birthday, which is on Monday. The "healthy weight range" for my height is 121-168, and I weighed in at 122. I'm in a healthy weight range. I don't know if it is because I have my period, or if that is my old bad thoughts making me think "that HAS to be water!", but either way, I can tell my darling I made it to healthy weight for his birthday!
AND I got him a good gift!
great Im glad to hear you have made it into a more healthy range, keep up your good work!
well done , im so pleased let this be the start of a new happy healthy life i hope you can continue pushing forward h xx

I keep waiting for the shoe to drop and for me to start to feel bad, but I keep remembering how crappy I felt at 113, and I feel much better now.
