Hello - 50 in August - my goal for weight loss
This isn't my first rodeo with MyFitnessPal but it's like my comfort blanket weight loss app. For 40 years I was thin and athletic but early perimenopause kicked me in the metabolism quite badly and for the last 9 years I have gone over my goal/standard/normal weight by 2 and a half stone, and up nearly 3 dress sizes. I…

When we lose weight, where does it go?
I was curious, so I looked it up, watched a fascinating Ted Talk about the mathematics of weight loss and learned this: 84% of fat is exhaled as CO2 (carbon dioxide) 16% of fat is excreted as H20 (water) Not sure if it's accurate, but it was really interesting, and definitely over my head!
