[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question - will you live longer, or will it just seem like it?  [/quote]

someone once posted on here a link to a BMI calculator that told you if you would live longer statistically based on losing weight. I'm totally butchering the description and of course I can't find it now, sorry![/quote]

I’d be curious to see this because a recent and widely reported study on BMI/longevity actually led to the conclusion that people who are mildly overweight actually live the longest. It’s pretty interesting.

We’ll when I plugged my info in(BMI 24.1), it told me there would not be any longevity benefit to me losing weight.[/quote]

My BMI is the same. My doctor says I’m at a healthy weight. I’d like to lose a few pounds - I don’t love the changes perimenopause is creating - but I also want to enjoy my life. Cutting out sugar, alcohol, and gluten would reduce that enjoyment for me, but YMMV.[/quote]

I concluded the same a few years ago. There is no benefit to me to being 5-10 lb thinner. The work I’d have to do to maintain it would make me miserable.[/quote]
