[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slowing down and pausing during weight loss gives skin chance to tighten (and also helps promote weight maintenance).  So lose 10 lbs, pause and maintain for a month, lose 10 more.  Or lose for 6 months, pause and maintain for 3 months, go back to losing.

Also setting a target weight that is slightly overweight or at the upper end of BMI rather than the weight you looked best at when you were in your 20s/30s.  Older people are often more attractive/look younger at a higher BMI than younger people. Post 50 being slightly overweight (e.g. BMI of 26) is also associated with the lowest all-cause mortality.[/quote]
[b]My grandma used to say that fat people get sick, and skinny people die.[/b]  There really is something to having a little extra reserves as you get older, which can help carry you through an illness.  [/quote]

Does Grandma realize we ALL are going to die?[/quote]

I’d rather die from what ails me than stay alive on live support or
Hospice while my body lives off of my accumulated fat, frankly. [/quote]

It's not about life support/hospice--it's the likelihood of whether you will die from something simple like pneumonia or another infection.  Being slightly overweight is generally protective in old age.  Just good to know for older dieters.[/quote]

please provide a medical citation for your statement.   We will all wait.  Oh, the CDC reports that being fat was the #1 comorbidity to death from Covid.   “Protective” ??? Keep lying to yourself.[/quote]

I did earlier--it's a large scale study and there have been meta-analyses  This is actually an area I research:

My quote from an earlier post :Obesity levels 2 and 3 are associated with early mortality compared to normal weight. Obesity level 1 has the same mortality rate as normal weight, and overweight has a lower association with with all-cause mortality.
