[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 44 and my body has just shut down on weight loss. I can spend weeks carefully counting calories and I'll slowly, slowly, slowly drop weight... but after about six pounds, the trend reverses itself. If I'm ever not extremely vigilant, it comes back in a hurry.

[b]I've read a lot about how being overweight for an extended period of time will program your body to try and maintain that weight[/b], and the older you are the more your body will resist weight loss, and I feel like the poster child for that.

The injections seem appealing, but I dont' want to lose 40-50 pounds and then have it all come back or increase. Also, being on an injection for the rest of my life just doesn't seem realistic. [/quote]

Not so much.

The thing is once you gain a fat cell, you never lose it without surgery.

You can shrink a fat cell, but not get rid of it, so it is always there ready to swell up again. [/quote]

I never knew this. Conversely, do you gain fat cells when you gain weight, or do the ones you already have just expand? If it’s the latter, then this statement seems nbd. If it’s the former, then holy h-ll, how do people who have gained weight ever really slim back down for good?
