[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 706936, member: 18958"] This makes sense to me. 10 percent of your weight lost each year. If I were able to do this moderately I would be happy. In my case 10 percent of body weight lost each would be about 17 pounds a year instead of 7. SEVEN pounds weight lost in each of the 3 past years! Unacceptable. This is with a nutritionist. And some of that time with a personal trainer. I was walking every day sometimes 2 hours a day. What I will do now is what I am calling a leapfrog approach. I will try to drop 3 pounds at a time, and then hold that. Then 3 pounds more. When I get down to the weight which would put me in the target window, I will stop, and then let whatever weight will drop with exercise, be it. That is what works for me. I hope. In the past through exercise alone I lost between a half pound and three quarter pounds a week, and my appetite moderated, and became quite lean and fit. As a consequence I felt a great deal of control and confidence over what I ate, because I became governed by what I wanted, not imposing some arbitrary diet onto myself. So, I am in complete agreement with what is both healthy and makes sense. And I know from experience that working full time in stressful jobs screws this up completely. I think the cortisol begins to override the whole metabolic system. We are defeated before we start. I believe that. I agree Jabber and others. Exercise and moderation are key. Except when they are not. [/QUOTE]
