I can hardly understand the concept of me being in "healthy range" and for fitday.com to say my weight it within the healthy range hhah Have to get used to that I guess.

Thanks Sarina, I'm much obliged.

Forget about the BMI right now......it's a given you'll get there is you keep going! Did you receive my response to you on my Before and During thread? I had made a weeeee suggestion....I think it might be useful to you.

Just keep going Pete, I'm proud of you and you're doing a great job!!!!!
