Personal Goals

I had a goal to lose 60 lbs this year. I started late on January 15. But, I'm down 32 lbs since then. I've been told I can't lose 60 as the boss said I'd look too skinny As broad shouldered and tall as I am. But I'm feeling great and loving the change!

Maybe slow it down a little. 1-2 pounds per week. Quick weight lost is quick weight gained back. 32 pounds in 2 months is not healthy, and will be a short-lived weight loss.

I lost 50 in two months about 4 years ago and have kept it off and have lost even more. 32 pounds in 2 months is not unhealthy, I don't care what bathroom wall you read that at.

When Doc Says You're Losing Too Fast


“It’s a big, big, huge problem,” says Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. In addition to potentially damaging the gallbladder, says Gerbstadt, other risks of losing too much too fast include kidney failure, thyroid problems, osteoporosis (especially in young men), increased estrogen production, lessening of sexual functions, heart irregularity and changes in blood pressure. It can also be the start of an eating disorder (and no, you aren’t accidentally reading a story for young women).

Wonder why weightwatchers wants you to lose only 1-2 pounds a week? Mmmmm? There is such a thing as losing too much, too fast, but 32 pounds over a 2 month period is less than 4 pounds a week. Again, saying you will just gain it all back is incorrect.....unless I'm like a freak of nature and my weight loss doctor was a quack.

It all depends on the person, male or female, and how fat they are to begin with. If you are under 25% body fat, then of course your healthy range of weight loss is much less than if you are at 34% and above.

People are different. If you are planning (or needing to) dropping a lot of weight, I would suggest seeing a specialist about it and make sure that you are getting regular checkups throughout the process.

If he was excessively obese, 32 lbs in two months isn't that big of a deal. It's a little more than 3 per week. Quit overreacting chat. Firestorm owes you nothing.
