Can losing weight become addictive?

[Eemz]

Hey Nikki - I've been thinking about this and I realised that if I found myself so close to a magic number that I never thought would happen... I'd have to go for it. I'd have to, even if only for a while to say I had done it, and then ease up. So count me in (for moral support - I will never see 150 lbs again!). As long as you have perspective on it and it's not "I'll never be thin enough" - then I'm on board.

OK. End of mothering.

I'll just say that if you come back a week later talking about 140lbs then I am going to order a lifetime supply of cheeseburgers to be delivered to your house immediately.

The weight itself isn't a health concern - I checked the BMI calculator that Felicia posted... 5'11'' 149lbs, 30" waist "male" (LOL, sorry couldn't resist) it says that's 20.8 which is in normal range and nothing to worry about.

I'm still hovering around 153-154# with my waist fluctuating between 30 and 30.5 inches. Couple things reflect just how much weight I've lost. I can pull my boy trousers down with unbuttoning/unzipping them...without a belt they'd just fall down. And my corset is now way too lose to do any good. I just brought it to the seamstress for alterations - same lady who did the work on my mermaid bandage gown. I've asked her to remove a good 2.5 inches from the corset so I can cinch it down again when I desire a dramatic hour glass figure with a narrow waist between 26 and 27 inches.

I measure 6 feet. My healthier status and appearance has ever been with 145lb ...Doctor told me I shoukd never cross 160lb
Most sportmen with 5 11’ do no cross 150lb

Care to define sportman and show some data?

This charts suggests 100m olympic running champions over the last 50 years range in weight from 176 to 190 pounds (5'11''-6'0''). 100m Olympic Champions

I'll be visiting my wife tomorrow...she hasn't seen me in a few weeks. Do hope she doesn't complain too much about my weight loss!

[nikkiwindsor]

I visited with the Mrs the other day and as expected she commented several times on my weight loss. She's not too happy about it but she's not being too bothersome about it. She knows I'm happier fitting into my dresses and she understands that I'm as bothered by weight as she is. She realizes that I share much in common with her regarding my feminine spirit. Losing weight and looking good in our clothes is a concern to both of us.

My dress size has dropped from a 14 to 10! It's been a little over a month and my weight is holding steady at a bit shy of 153 pounds. My current measurements are 38.5 in x 29.5 in x 37.5 in. And I just slipped on my new size 10 dress I recently purchased and it fits beautifully - its also very loose across the shoulders, bust, waist and hips. I'm pretty much astounded by what I've accomplished...weight reduced from 194# to 153# and two whole dress sizes smaller - tights are no longer large, I now wear medium...I'm very, very HAPPY! My wife's thoughts and reaction - well, that's a less pleasant story Nikki p.s. with respect to my boy clothes, I wear size medium polo shirts while before I was wearing large.

Although I've never had a weight problem (currently in mid 50's), I find that cycling is a good way to stay in shape, and maintain good muscle tone that looks really good, especially legs!

Congrats on the weight loss. The most important thing is that you're happy and healthy. Sounds like you got that figured out. All the best and enjoy yourself.

It is definitely addicting. I lost thirty pounds three years ago and have kept it off. I even lost more and a few people commented that I looked too thin. I have put a few pounds back on, but would like to lose more, especially around my core.

Those people can **** off if you ask me. Be happy with yourself and do what makes you feel good about yourself.
