I know my doc said that for 5'3" that 126 is a good healthy weight. Are you shorter than that? Could I ask any more questions?

What is your bmi? That says more about how healthy your weight is. My guess is that it's harder for you to float than before....you've lost all your buoyancy!

Are you, like a size 0? I wear a 2 and you look waaaaay tinier than me!
my weight is good Donna - my BMI is 18.5, so completely normal, these pictures were taken today, my family doc would like to see me around the 115 mark - i am working on building muscle now, so i will bulk up in weight that way - i am a hair shorter than 5'3" more than 5' 2 3/4 so i just say 5'3"

you are right about floating - i sink - i cannot swim anymore, my husband had to save me the last time we went swimming the waves took me under and i couldnt get back up - i have to learn how to swim again

im not worried, i eat, i exercise, i have tons of energy, i feel great!!! have added some skim milk to my fluids now to add a few extra calories, but have kicked up the weight training - want to do it that way - i just wanted to post here as i have been getting pm's as well as one post in my thread asking me if my weight is okay - and it is - just wanted to address it so people dont feel they have pm me, i am doing very well! thanks everyone.
