Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 I was reading about 's adventures -- horseback riding, scuba, and skiing -- and she mentioned that she's still at 230. It got me to thinking -- I was at 415 (possibly more -- that's where the doctor's scale was when it broke) and got down to the mid-200's. It's odd, but when I weighed this amount in high school and college, I was a walker out of necessity, but not very active otherwise. It seems that getting back down to this weight, I am more active and more ABLE to be active, than I was at this weight the first time, even when I was much younger. Does anyone else notice this? Things we thought we were " too fat to do " on the way up, we're not too fat to do on the way down? BTW , congrats on the skiing! That's one sport I wouldn't take up if I weighed 110 pounds -- too afraid of heights! I admire anyone courageous enough to plummet at high speeds in a downward direction on a slippery surface in the cold! I always thought cross-country skiing would be more my style, but now I can't stand cold -- so I guess I'll have to settle for having the Cabana Boy teach me to surf, or something! LOL! ~~ Lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
