Good for you Kelly!
Chips still really tempt me... but I'm afraid if I have one it will be all over!

You're only a few inches taller than me, so it's possible that that's what you're experiencing, but I could be wrong.
I think I'd look like a skeleton at 116, I can't even imagine! LOL!
Thanks Linda. I'm thinking I'll be happy at 150 - 155 and don't plan on working to get below that right now. My cholesterol/blood sugar/BP etc are all good and I feel really good, and believe I'll be able to maintain at 150 without too much trouble. Besides, it's not like the extra 20 lbs is going anywhere... I can always lose it later if things change.
Cyndi I've wondered the same thing about weight charts and age. IMO weights that look sleek and slim at age 20 or 30 start to look frail as women age. Not that I'm in any immediate danger of looking "frail"....
It's a funny thing though, I KNOW that I'm 52, but I just don't feel like I am. I wonder where all those years went?
