50 + year old women poll

Hey Paula, Ok, I'm not 50+, I'm 44, but have felt like I'm 100 some days, so I think I qualify (plus I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago, so I don't have same problems as many my age.) Other than what's been said (individual metabolisms etc.,) I think a lot has to do with how much you have to loose. Someone who has 250 pounds to lose will lose faster, as least initially, than someone with 100 pounds to lose. Remember, the goal of WLS is to lose 70% of EXCESS weight in 12-18 months. Any more will come with increased effort! Also, think about it... there's always been those people in our lives that could eat whatever they want and not GAIN weight . It's the same with losing. Some people are just going to lose faster than others. I say, look at the overall picture, not just the numbers... inches, clothes looser, more energy. This is not a RACE...it's a live-long change. Happy New Year and Happy New You! Tammy 302/274/155 11-29/12-25/goal
