Sunday Weigh In
I haven't been on here for quite some time, as I haven't had many changes, still 10 pounds below goal at 130. total loss is 140 pounds. Have been maintaining this for about a month, do not want to lose anymore. At 50 years old and wearing a size 2-4, I don't want to look too thin. If anything, everyone is worried that I have lost too much weight. Also, has anyone heard about our bones weighing more than a normal persons'? Apparently, when we are MO for a long period, our bones get more dense because of the extra weight we carry. So when we lose a significant amount of weight, the bones still stay dense, so even though I weigh 130 pounds, most people think I weigh a lot less, and it's because of my extra dense bones that add weight to me. I am forever saying but I weigh this, and it isn't too thin on a BMI or weight chart. But I bet if my bones weren't as dense as they are I might weigh in the teens or 120's. that is another reason why we might be a size 4 at 130 but a normal person might be a size 8 at 130. They're bones aren't as dense as ours....
Just my thoughts and observations

Hi all,
Great to hear how everyone is doing. I am at the same weight this week - between 123-123.8...pretty much same as last week but not as low as I was 1 month ago. I realized I have really increased my intake on some days...I can eat alot more than I used to and per my docs recommendations, I did increase my calories and carbs, so this is likely why my weight loss has stopped. I should be happy but I liked being a few # thinner! Oh well, I HAVE to be happy with my appearance and get over it. 3# lighter means NOTHING compared to the #121# I have lost this year. AND, I rode my bike for the first time in years with my kids for several miles and THEY tired out before I did! AWESOME!
Take care all!
