Weight Loss / Re: 160s club
Last post by Marsia -
Congrats on being back at low weight!  My mom weighed less than me when she was living with us and near the end of her life.  She had almost no muscle mass and her belly was very big from eating a lot of simple carbs which are very bad if you eat a lot of them as far as inflammation, which puts you at much greater risk of cancer, diabetes, and other scary diseases.  She had lots of fat around her midsection, too.  I was overweight and weighed 15 pounds more than her (we were the same build), but had lots of muscle from doing yard work and gardening.  So I think you can be the "correct" weight but have fat and still not be as healthy as you could be if you worked out and ate well.  It's wonderful you are losing the weight, but it may be time to switch to maintaining the healthy weight and adding in ways to build muscle and making sure you are getting the right nutrients.  A lot of people crash diet and then gain it all back because they didn't find out what works for them as far as maintaining healthy weight long term.  That seems like a whole new set of things to experiment with to see what works for you personally.  I know you can do it because you are so good at tracking your weight and persisting through all the weight fluctuations!

Still in the 160s club though it is higher than normal. I just hope it isn’t 169 tomorrow.  It was 168 today and it’s going the wrong direction. I need to focus more on eating less. Ever since we bought those huge paper plates the proportions even for just fruit has been massive.

A change to the code must have happened within this month because I wasn’t having a problem with my Apple laptop until February I think it was. I know he is busy so I don’t want to complain too much. We are lucky to have this forum at all. I really like how random people can’t view the diary section just members. I think with the old forum anyone can read anything.  The reason I point that out is I used to be a member in another forum where it had a before and after pictures thread readable by anyone and someone actually had their pictures stolen and used on a Chinese weight loss advertisement.

Congratulations on getting to 167 lbs, Andrew! You're doing great! Eggs are scarce here too because of avian flu on mainland Australia.
Thanks Cate.  Had pasta leftovers today. I hope to eat more healthy tomorrow.  Weight at 167 again today.  I don’t expect better tomorrow I’ve been picking all night  I am hoping I at least didn’t over eat maintenance calories. Hope everyone’s weight is doing good or at least maintenance.. I’m sorry I haven’t spent much time in the diary’s  text mode has been bad.

167 today I’m pretty happy about that. I ate fast food yesterday so I was expecting the worse but it was just one day so I’m hoping if I stay on track it won’t  affect my weight too much. It was a lot of processed calories then I got sick afterwards.. having a light dinner tonight just a hamsteak. Not much left for snacks I will have to go to the grocery store tomorrow. Hopefully I can get some grapes and raspberries.  Eggs have been going up and up out of control. It’s almost a dollar an egg now. Everything has been going up in the grocery store because of trump plus a lot of imported fruits and vegetables the shelves are wiped clean.

My bmi is not in the obese category or overweight category anymore. I am .1 into the normal weight category. I don’t understand  how my current weight is not considered overweight judging by how much fat I still have on my body. I don’t think bmi is an accurate measure of body fat. I wanted to check it anyway.  Getting ready to go out into the cold for my coffee.  We are going to get hit with 6-12 inches of snow tonight so maybe I will get 2 so I don’t have to go out tomorrow.
