Yikes. I'm skinny.
I was worried about being inactive and gaining weight... well the opposite is happening.
Before ACL surgery I did a lot of cardio and I went from 152 to 140, which is what I weighed at my pre-op appt. I know part of that was breaking through a stall plus the result of calorie counting and cardio.
Well as of today I weigh 128. Holy. shit. 128.
I always have looked like I weigh less and I do have maybe a few pounds of excess skin in my arms, thighs and tummy. Someone at work said I look like a weigh 100 pounds.
My family and boyfriend are kind of bitching at me. 128 is perfectly healthy for my height and weight, its just sort of shocking to them and even to myself to see me this thin. My BMI is 22.0. I have a good 4 points before I get "too thin"
I can't wait to work out again. Knees are depressing. Walking stiffens me right up and I still have a lot of pain. No more pain killers though. Some days are really tough.
