Anything a person can do....as they get older....to keep the excess weight off is a Really good thing. Obesity is the Root Cause of dozens of miserable illnesses. Even better than monitoring weight is measuring the waistline. If a person's waist is more than half their height, they need to give Serious consideration to starting a diet/exercise routine to reduce that measurement. Belly Fat is a Killer.
 
Well, I'm down from 48" waist before I started losing weight. I seem to be losing it in the butt and hips. I've had to put a safety pin in my jeans to keep them from falling down and re-adjust that twice since March. However, my bra seems just as snug.

Oops. Now heading in the wrong direction. Gained 4 pounds in the last month. Not surprising after Thanksgiving added to my decreased physical activity.

yup this pandemic also has weight gain in most people..to answer for as well... so many people unable to get out of the house to work or exercise, and therefore home eating and drinking more too...don't be too hard on yourself , we'll all start again in 2021
 
Finally gained a needed couple pounds. We exercise everyday so physical exercise is not an issue (usually). Just hadn't been eating enough. Started drinking a glass of wine a day and eating a bit more. Its about calories in, calories out...lol.

Thank you for this - it's helpful and encouraging. Since the 1950s (and probably before), women have been bombarded with Barbie Doll and anorexic fashion model body ideals like 24" waist measurements. The old 36-24-36 nonsense. My BMI stays in the 22-23 range, but I haven't had a 24" waist since roughly age 9. Never was a tiny, petite creature.

Nevertheless I worried over my 31" waist because of the earlier messages so indelibly imprinted in my brain.
Until now. At 5.0, I'm satisfactorily below the .6 limit.

Thanks again for the link to this calculator.

I had the same problem in my 30's and forties..I felt I was eating plenty, but couldn't put weight on, and people remarked all the time about how skinny I was. I was always annoyed by their remarks I felt like I ate enough.. but when the blood transfusion centre refused to take my blood donor donation because I was underweight, I realised I must not be eating enough, so gradually I upped my intake, and became a normal weight.. now if I'd only stopped there.... :unsure::eek::ROFLMAO:

When I was in my 40's and 50's, had the opposite issues...ha ha. I seemed to be always hungry - now, not so much. I weight 35 lbs or so less now than I did then! Could have used that reduced appetite when I was traveling so much back then, that's a fact.
