I won't argue with you there.

My entire point for my comment from earlier is that I don't know what a "healthy weight" is for that person. I also won't assume that "under 200lbs" is either above, or below, that amount.

I didn't make any assumptions about it. My comment being "if it makes you happy?" Is more of a question of, if being under that weight is bringing you happiness. Because I will neither speculate, nor assume, what a healthy body weight is for that person, and I'm not going to ask for their private medical information on what a healthy weight is, so my only hope is that they're happy about the change.

I probably could have said it better, but it would not have been as terse.

I find that the more terse I can be, the better my comments tend to do. It would seem that most people don't want to read an entire encyclopedia for an answer to a relatively basic question. The issue I have is that, when I include context, I want to make as few assumptions about the reader as I can. About what they know or don't know, or if they are familiar with medical terms or caught up in colloquialisms. Clarifying each point to the extent I need to in order to accommodate for those assumptions I am not making, is a verbose task.

    I totally get you.

    I was just a bit worried about the 'healthy at every size' nonsense that started to appear a few years ago. It's a dangerous idea and people need to be educated about it.

    I also have no idea what a healthy weight is for OP and won't be jumping to conclusions.
