[quote=Anonymous]Jason, I appreciate your posts too. I'm a new poster in this thread, and saw your post about wanting people to focus on health rather than weight loss, and I hear you. The problem is it sometimes doesn't work. I have progressively gained weight through my thirties without changing my eating, and with modest exercise through that time. As a young woman (teens and early twenties) I was a very serious rower and lifted 4 times a week in addition to daily rows or runs. I was still not at all lean, despite all that healthy activity. I have always been a pretty sensible eater, lots of veggies, etc. And yet I've always struggled with my weight, until at 40 it became a problem for my health. I had already tried weight watchers, moderation in different forms, and nothing seemed to work. What did work for me was a conscious push to lose 40 pounds by dropping sugar and flour, primarily. I also upped my exercise from walking and gardening to running two miles twice a week, but that hardly is enough to account for my weight loss. Anyway, that kicked the 40 pounds. Now at a healthier weight I am able to eat moderate amount of sugar and flour again without gaining weight and I can focus on just being healthy, exercise, and moderate eating...but that didn't help me lose the weight, and the weight had to be lost for health.[/quote]
