I'm "normal"

Carly · 11-30-2012, 04:04 PM

Yup! As of this morning I dipped into "normal" range!!!!!!
Hum... normal still feels pudgy, but much, much, better than morbidly obese felt

We had a thread about New Years Non Scale Goals and that was mine. To get to "normal" which for me was 136 and a BMI of 25 or under! I am still holding 135.7 tonight after an UD which included some donut holes and some chinese food- 2 things I rarely eat 'cause I don't really care for them, but UDs allow for such things and so I indulged.

I could not have done this with out the support of my dear JUDDD Buds. I don't know if you all know how much you mean to me and that I carry you all in my mind throughout my hectic and crazy days. I never thought I could feel so close to and care so much for people I have never "met".

you buds!

ilahstrait · 11-30-2012, 06:20 PM

Yay Carly! I am happy you made your New Years NSG. You don't look pudgy at your normal range. You look pretty and thin from what I see. You really give JUDDD a good name. You stick to the rotations faithfully. I haven't mastered that yet, but I know it can be done because you are living proof.

Carly · 11-30-2012, 06:30 PM

Oh, ladies-

I can't imagine not having you all to share my milestones with.

SICCHI · 11-30-2012, 06:30 PM

Flutter · 11-30-2012, 07:10 PM

awww Miss Carly! I am so so happy for you! More important than that "normal" BMI/weight is that you seem to enjoy this WOE and it just seems to SUIT you. What a truly wonderful gift that is! I am over the moon tickled for you all the way around! Kudos!!!

deedee · 11-30-2012, 07:12 PM

I have to tell you, every time I see a post of yours with that pretty picture, I think I'm looking at Miley Cyrus. Find it hard to believe you're not a teenager!
