I recently read an interesting article that talks about just how hard it is to lose and keep it off. After all 95-98% of people regain the weight they lose within five years. Studies show that overweight people who exercise actually live longer than skinny people who don't exercise! So I say, just keep doing that good four mile a day walk and you'll probably be fine. You're young so I'd hate to see you start the yo-yo cycle of starve and binge. Maybe you're just going to be a big guy all your life and that's really just fine.
Cheers!

Yes, Im still here ! Well, good news I have lost almost 50 lbs since 2005. Going from 301 lbs down to 255 lbs. I still have at least 50 more lbs to go before Im really in my ideal weight range. Its been very slow but its all worth it. I have change my whole way of eating and exercise. The weight came off eventually- it just took a lot longer than I thought. Right now, though, Im not foucoused on actual weight as I am just being more active. The big line is- I DIDNT DIET. I never went on a diet, I still ALL KINDS of foods, just less of them. And I exercise all the time and I watch salt and hidden calories. |
