@vinay – I’m not sure I’m following your question. If you are asking if it’s ok to have fat around your thigh and waist, it sounds like genetically that’s where you carry your fat. It is what it is! With a proper diet and exercise, you can lose the fat and get a leaner body.

@Marc
I now weigh only 188, and am losing over a pound a day. I took your advice, went to the doctor, and discovered that I was consuming less than 200 calories per day. I am still losing weight, but am hoping it slows soon. Thank you so much. You could have saved my life.

@kate shadow – I guess the first question is, how much do you weigh? The amount of the weight loss (5lb) seems significant and it’s unlikely it’s all fat. It may have been 1-2lb of fat (depending on how much you weigh though). Fluctuations in weight can occur if you manipulate your carboydrate, water, and sodium intake. I could lose 5lb easily in a day by decreasing my carb intake and drinking a lot of water and taking it easy on the sodium, especially if I’m dehydrated, which means I’m holding on to a lot of water. So, if you changed your carb intake/water intake/sodium intake, that could be the explanation. A large portion may also be fat loss, but you know more than me how you changed your diet from how it was before, to how it was the last few weeks when you lost all this weight. Finally, if you lack any energy, or don’t feel right, I would see your doctor right away.

Seeing myself in the mirror, its evident that I need to lose body fat. I have been trying for years, and nobody could understand why I wasn’t losing weight. Recently though, my weight loss has jumped to at least 5 pounds per week. Could this be caused by calorie cutting?

@Toni – For guys, I suggest every week, for women depending on comfort level, I think 1-2 weeks is fine, or even paying attention to how clothes fit. Thanks for sharing that.

I don’t know if weighing yourself every Monday morning is critical in keeping yourself in check. I weigh myself like every two weeks. Women have tons of hormonal fluctuations throughout the month so I’m not sure if weekly weigh-ins would be helpful, in my opinion. I tend to go more by how my clothes fit. Also, about once a month, I try on my bikini and stand in front of my full-length mirror – that way I can properly assess where I’m at. It sounds obsessive but it works for me.
