Good & Bad of Wearin' a kilt

[davedove]

I'm trying to lose some myself, a little over twenty pounds so far.

Losing weight has benefits and drawbacks. One good thing is that you get to buy a whole new wardrobe. One bad thing is you have to buy a whole new wardrobe.

Thanks one and all for the nice comments! Doc gave me a new med that a side affect is it makes one lose weight. Most bloggers who take this med state that after 3 months they've lost 30-90 lbs (last was in a year), In four months lost a whole 8 pounds.

As with everything in this world,
- your mileage may vary
- professional driver on closed course
- results are not typical
- etc.

Eight pounds lost is eight pounds lighter than 4 months ago. When I still led aerobics classes, I told folks not to expect huge, drastic weight loss in the first year of their return to an active lifestyle. In fact, I warned them of weight gain because muscle weighs a lot more than fat. Also, rapid weight loss isn't healthy! Stay on course, and check in again in about six months. It takes a while for a body to get used to new stuff.
