Interesting info. All of it including Bob Greene forcing you to make
a choice (G)

Now, how do you pronounce Y Ya?

I think the famished is probably a good indication that the body needs
more food. But then again, I would have said that at a HIGHER weight
since I still somewhat believe those damn little fat cells are
secreting hormones demanding to be fed again!!!?????? That would
cause the resultant demand for food????

I'm in hover mode now - up a fraction, down a fraction. I like it
here, too just around 158 or so. At least, the way I feel biking and
skiing....

Sardines (second course) are calling....

Loosely translated y Ya, means "and whatever" "and so on" "and thats it",
that kind of thing. I am a happy camper my own scale is back to 157 this
morning. The leader thinks 155 is not realistic because of my muscle mass,
and the size I am right now, as in measurements. She thinks I am done.
Also, I do still have enough skin to cover 365 pounds although it has done a
fabulous job of shrinking up, It doesn't flake off or anything. And the way
I tend to get Ferociously hungry and feel weak when I try to get below where
I am right now. My bone structure is fairly average, but I began
weightlifting while I was still in the mid 250's and I was not dieting at
the time. I have lost some of the muscle mass, but you can still clearly
see quite a bit of it here and there, particularly in my quads and my
shoulders. Bob Greene uses height, age, weight, waist measurement and sex
(there was no place for "no" in the sex choices so I went with F for
failing). My waist measurement is 29 inches. Also, the top of me (lets not
get too specific) still has two rather large weights that I don't care to
totally lose, they give the body some shape. Y Ya. Gonna stick as close to
157 as I can. She does not think that is realistic either, but whatever.
She thinks the 164 goal is good. But I am not going there.

A MAINTAIN below GOAL is a GOOD THING (as Martha would say).

Mind if I ask why the leader thought 155 was not realistic? Bone size
or bone density or?????

What does that Bob Greene site use to make that determination?

And is that "y Ya?" And if so, what does it mean when they say it
down "thar?"

My average for the week was 160. At least I am fairly sure next week
will
be a loss. My leader at my meeting (where I was at 159.5) said that it
is
probably not realistic for me to try to get to 155 anyway. I put my
measurements into a site that Bob Greene has up, and came out with
"athletic" category at 19. something percent body fat. I am going to
quit
trying to lose more and just concentrate on staying in the high one
fifties,
y Ya as they say here
