ALL; Please note the change in the subject line for this thread!

Toni: You may be naturally slim just as I was until my mid 50's. Then I

put on the pounds without realizing that my metabolism had changed.

Once on CR I lost 28 pounds. I could hardly believe that I had gained so

much weight after a lifetime of being able to eat anything and not have it

show.

I'm still a size 3 junior (boys size 14)--the size I wore when I

graduated high school....more than 20 years ago.... 5'6 " and almost

ready to kiss year #40. BMI 18.9. I've always believed it was my

lifestyle because I don't have a family member who even fits the

description of " chunky. " They all fit the medical term of " grossly

obese " (not just overweight or obese.... " grossly obese). Perhaps I

was wrong to assume??????????
