For the record, I'm 5'3" and 150 lbs of mostly muscle. Lol. I walk 7 miles a day at work while lifting up to 50lbs repeatedly throughout the day. I eat pretty healthy, but 20lbs in 2 months is not healthy. The BMI scale would tell me to lose 20 more. ๐คฏ

Friendly reminder that BMI is bullshit: The stress of my job over the last couple of months has caused me to rapidly lose 20lbs. The BMI scale says I'm overweight. ๐ I'm mostly muscle, and most of my weight loss has been from anxiety vomiting and lack of appetite. HeLtH ๐

Maisy has settled back into her old tank, taken probably her first meal in months, and is snuggled up under a new hide.

This is Maisy. Maisy slipped out of her tank 6 months ago and has been MIA since. I guess the warmer temperatures and humidity drew her into our garage where my husband found her. I don't think she's been eating, she's MUCH skinnier than before she escaped. We'll fatten her back up in no time! ๐ฅฐ
