YAY!! 92lbs at the doctor's office! (I had cancer and I'm not five feet tall, this is not a brag)

[AlienGirl]

I was down to 89 after a bout with giardia a month ago, and the doctor was starting to yell at me about it.

Finally I'm back to the "range of normal" BMI! I am having a beer or four in celebration.

1. Wow.

I'm glad you're back up in weight. Can I ask how tall you are?

[AlienGirl]

2. 4' 9.75", I round up to 4'10". nt

4. Oh, yeah--If a geyser sputters water on your lips, take it from me, don't lick it off!

3. Good going.

Congrats.

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

6. Thank you!! I am trying hard to get strong and healthy!

I just found out that one of my former bosses--who liked me, and who I liked--got hired by my Dream Employer, which has tough physical-fitness requirements. She's in training at their school now, but I am hoping like hell that in four years (when I'm ten years past the last cancer treatment, which that level seems to care about) she will be in a position to hire or recommend me. So I am working hard to get to where I can pass the physical!

5. My dear AlienGirl!

Good for you!

Being too thin is as nearly as dangerous as too heavy...

And giardia...scary shit. Glad that's gone too!

Celebrate!

:toast:

7. Giardia STINKS...literally! nt

[AlienGirl]

8. I needed to add that this is not some kind of "OMG I am SO skinny!" boast

I know that skinny has been fashionable since the 1920's, but that is beginning to change anyway.

HEALTHY is attractive,

I am glad because my weight is finally in the range of "healthy."

I will be even more glad (like ECSTATIC) when I know I can physically qualify to be a serious candidate for Quantico...

9. Good on you!

Glad you are putting on a few more pounds. And I can certainly attest to the fact that you are NOT a tall person!

:hi:

10. That is Wonderful!

Congratulations! :toast:

I hope that cancer NEVER comes back, and you stay within your healthy weight. :)

Good for you. Be well!

11. BEEFCAKE!!!!1!

12. 4'11"

and landed my ass at 92lbs at one point in my life.....take care, and remember at 92lbs & 4 beers you'll be pretty damn drunk. I'm 115lbs now, and 4 beers I'd be under the table....or possibly dancing on the bar :)

13. Congrats on getting better

What is your ideal weight, may I ask?
