2. Swimming and curling (the sweeping can be very strenuous) keep my upper body toned
3. I haven't totally lost the "mid-section" cushioning yet
4. When I was in my 30's, I would get down to 135lbs during the racing season (triathlons/duathlons and some bike races)
5. And as I said, I do *not* skip the pie, or the cake, or the brownies, or the cookies
Ooops, read that last line too fast.
I have to remember when I compare my weight and height to others, that since I lost around 110 lbs(251lbs in Aug 2010), some of my weight I have now is loose skin--so, if I had never been overweight or just slightly overweight during my life and discount my extra skin that I lug around now, I probably, at my present build, would weigh a couple of lbs less than what comes up on the scale.
