With all this talk about avoiding metabolism slowdowns by eating too little,
etc., I wonder...

I am 174 cm (5'8") and weigh 103.8 kg this morning (227.5 lb). I'm 49 years
old. I've lost about 47 lb over the last 25 weeks on a low-calorie diet.

Some people here are saying I should be sure not to eat too few calories or
my metabolism will slow down making it even harder to lose weight. A few
people are saying I should eat fewer calories.


Well, there is some truth to that. I didn't have a goal weight, I had a
goal size when I started. I just thought that I'd really be
disappointed if I changed my lifestyle and couldn't get down to an 8/10.
Well, I got there and I started to increase my caloric intake and I
lost an additional 10+ pounds. It's stayed off for the past two years
so I figure that's where my body wants to be.
