In about another 7lbs I will be at the top end of what doctors recommend for my height and I am thrilled!!!! During this awful time in my life if someone had said to me "Geez, you've gained some weight!" I bet money I would have slapped them b/c I knew I had. I had a whole closet full of hot clothes that didn't fit anymore to prove it! If you see a friend stuggling with weight, especially if it comes on suddenly (like mine did) reach out to them and ask them what is going on in their life. That to me is the most tactful way to approach the situation. And that is exactly how my friends approached it and for that I am grateful.....
Exactly what I was saying!

I think it's ok as long as you're clearly showing concern and not just saying "WOOOOEEEE you're puttin on the pounds!"
