More turn ons/offs
Hook:
While it's comforting to think that there's a direct link between how much you eat, how much exercise you get and how much you weigh, and that these ratios are locked together so tightly as to be totally mathematicly precice, that's just not the case. There are a *lot* of things that affect people's weight.
If calories consumed were the major criteria, a single pat of butter every day is enough to cause you to gain or lose weight. Is it even possible to control your calories that closely?
For those who are a bit overweight and maybe a bit over 35 as well, keep in mind that just because you lose half your weight doesn't mean you lose half your skin as well. A mildly overweight woman won't show wrinkles as much as a thin woman, and you don't even want to imagine the effect of losing vast amounts of weight after age 50. My wife went from looking like she was about 35 to looking like she is about 70. She's actually 55. You've been warned. :)

I noticed that! A woman at work joined Wwatchers and got older as she got thinner. She aged about 20 years in 6 months. Doesn't the skin reset at some point? Maybe I should stay um...curvy then.

[/quote]your correct Hook unfortunately those who were over weight and then lost it almost always retain the extra skin it took to cover the obesity. My son in laws Aunt under went gastric by pass for severe obesity and she has retuned to normal weight after 5 years but now she has all kinds of loose skin just hanging . she has had surgery to remove the loose skin on her belly it hung be low her knees but she says it will take a bunch more surgeries to remove all the excess skin. so there is a down side to massive weight loss when your over 35

I've seen alot of tv shows on that sort of thing (skin removal), but even though thats an issue, your probably MUCH healthier.
