    Default I'm normal!!

    I'm normal. At Last. After all these decades, I'm normal




    Normal BMI, that is....LOL

    168#'s is 24.8 BMI, just barely, but hey, I'll take it!

    On another note....had an NSV the other day....I bought a bathing suit top, size 12. Still from a plus size store, but a 12 nonetheless. I haven't bought a bathing suit in 20 years!

    Good for you Pam!!!!! Getting a bathing suit is a big step, especially after 20 years. And a size 12... you go Girl.
