Carrie,
I feel like a Nosy Parker for not trusting your instincts on your weight. I had never given it a thought before, you've been pretty scarce on the board, and you reported feeling better. When I saw the pix you posted was when I saw that you really didn't have any fat on you anywhere! I applaud your healthy lifestyle and am pleased to hear that you are enjoying working out and muscle building so much. Consider me butted out!

lol, I have a friend that had a bmi of 17 when she was in high school--she was a major track and field athlete, and told me about how she couldn't float to save her life. Don't go in the water without a life vest on until you learn how to swim all over!

Take good care of you, Carrie! You're a sweetheart!

Carrie love the avatar............it is so good to see you smiling again.

You look awesome and that smile alone says you feel so much healthier and so much better.

I think it also means that you are ready for some serious power shopping in May. I'm getting excited to get together again.

Hey Jen do you think maybe you could just swing on up to Canada for this get together?

I started at 239 and am 5'2" and I am 110 right now. Maybe less because I have been sick. People say the same thing to me and say that I look like I have an eating disorder. It is really hard when so many people say it over and over that I am too thin. I know what I am and I can see it. I totally understand your position Carrie and just know that if you feel good, then don't worry. I think you look wonderful. We started out at the same weight, but I think we have different bones. Mine are super dense and I have very thick legs (bones, too)

Anyway, you look great and I am proud of your success. You go girl!!!!
