My arms and legs are athletic and fine, not super muscular, no flab.
I can see my collarbone
Hubby says I have a nice backside, though I think I could tone it more...

I'm SUPER frustrated because last summer I busted my rump to get fit, I thought I was doing GREAT! Was down to 145 and FIT from hiking...

October, halloween candy and X-mas treats brought me up to 164.
My belly and some love handles returned.....

I started in January with a serious diet change and thought I was doing well,
Still NO weight loss....

Now I am back to the gym and trying to beat the winter blues, thankfully its spring, by riding my bike, etc.
Still NO weight loss...

I feel like I barely eat.....

My problem is is that I don't accept flab....
So I then consider myself FAT...
YES I HAVE ISSUES!!!!!

Our future looks grim, we are losing healthcare benefits and I cannot afford to go to the doctors, even for routine things, so I am trying to get my health at the best living level so I don't have to take meds ever...
Seems like thats all healthcare is about-passing pills...
Not 4 me...

Survival of the FITTEST, so true..
For you and others who do not have a regular three meals per day plan. That is part of the problem.

Some people think, oh let me cut breakfast, and thereby I'm cutting 1/3rd of my 24 hour food intake and help my weight loss.

And that is when the body will go into "save everything I can becoz this guy/woman is starving me"... and in the end nothing happens and there is no real use of skipping a meal.

A healthy breakfast and a lot of water between 8 and 9 am regulates the body first thing in the morning.

I'm a normal weight for someone 8 1/2 feet tall. Funny, the only ones who voted fat were the minority. 65-70% of the USA is 'overweight', and 5% is underweight. Somebody is fibbin'.

I have to agree, but then will not find anything in the house that I want to eat so I just grab an orange instead. I do need to eat probably 4-5 smaller meals a day..
Thanks!

as if your body has a choice. unless you have a corresponding reduction in physical activity, your body is going to have to use energy to walk, talk, breath, keep blood flowing, etc. etc. etc. your body doesnt have any choice but to burn calories.

Body doesn't need any serious energy unless Kailani needs to walk 4 miles past the hills to fetch water from the well and come back carrying a heavy pot. Does she do it? I bet she gets tap water or buys Poland Spring which her trunk carries
