Highest 355# bmi~52
Now 180# bmi~26
Could be better, could be worse, any weight under 200# bmi~29, and I feel OK
Almost 2 years out from DS surgery date (May 2109)
The lowest weight I've been at my adult height was 130# bmi ~ 19, and that was after I walked the bottom half of the Appalachain Trail all summer
Four years before I was a gymnast (high bar) and had 20# more muscle on my frame , my weight was 150# bmi~ 22.
The first lesson from those old lows is that I can weigh a lot less, and still be healthy.
The second lesson is that, for me, vigorous activity (hiking, gymnastics) clearly helps.
But , really, all I want is to be presentable in public company, and not have my weight get in the way. Well, that and to get rid of all those killer co-morbidities that I carried with the weight
