[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The feminine dilemma of being unattractive because you are a round lump vs. being unattractive because you look old.

I love the advice in here about losing the weight slowly.  Are you kidding me?  I will lose the weight any way I possibly can!  Weight loss (especially substantial weight loss) can be difficult to make happen in any state and a lot of the difficulty comes from getting yourself in the right mental state to do it.  So making THAT part more difficult -- psyching yourself up to make those tough choices, and then putting a hold on that and going back to normal for a while, and then psyching yourself up to start again -- I'm sure some people can do that but no thank you.  IT IS HARD ENOUGH!  Not gonna make it harder on myself.

I'm not going to say I hate this thread and everyone in here, exactly ... but some of it is not good imho.[/quote]

Weight loss is easier than long term weight maintenance after weight loss.  Pausing doesn't mean going back to normal--it means staying at a calorie level that maintains your initial weight loss for awhile before restricting calories further to lose more. This is fairly standard advice for substantial weight loss.  It helps your body avoid going into "starvation mode," and gives you practice at the maintenance phase. It just so happens to also help with OPs concern about the 'aging' effects on appearance from substantial weight loss.  [/quote]
