For 5 years my Doctor has been telling me I must get under 200 lbs. Finally I made it. I weighed in at 199 a few weeks ago, but that was a day I was fed 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 1 dinner. So I avoided the scale after weighing in at 199 between the 2 lunches. My clergy colleagues who also had too many meals that day laughed with me at the difficulty dealing with people who must share their favorite high calorie dish.

A neighbor who shared a walk with me shared the location of a free scale. I weighed in at 197 this morning! Yeah! I'll have let my doctor know!

Now on to a new goal... to no longer be "over weight"! It is good to no longer share my profile and tell those at lectures "I'm obese." Glad to retire that lecture intro!

    Thank you. I just updated my goal to be no longer over weight on the bmi table. I have a way to go, but it feels great to be here.
