Wowsers. My weight is now down to 185 lb.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

Considering that when my troubles began I was at 240 lb., I'm not sure if this is good or bad (last time I weighed 185 I was 40. I'm now 56. )... My weight loss began about 2 years ago when my arthritis began attacking my legs.

Shit happens! :headbang:

3. Congrats, my dear Prisoner_Number_Six!

I suspect this is good, unless you're losing muscle mass...

Maybe it'll make it easier for you to walk!

4. That's the rub- I AM losing muscle mass.

I'm wheelchair bound with no way to really effectively exercise. I'm always cold and very tired. The only good sign is my blood pressure- it's as close to textbook perfect as it gets. It pisses the nurses off.

6. How have you done in #6? What is your secret?

7. Yeah, it took two years but I went down from 175 to 120.

That's the low end of my "good weight range" - 120-130. Curiously, my blood pressure numbers also dropped by a similar amount.

8. That's awsome- Congratulations!
