Have any of you guys lost heaps of weight? What should you expect after losing alot of weight?

Question

Besides people treating you with more respect, better fitting clothes, having better heat control, sweating less and feeling more energised?

Answer 1

Depends on the before and after. If you were overweight before, then losing heaps to the ideal weight (slow and easy) has lots of benefits on your health. You breathe easier, heart rate and pulse rate reduces, risk for some diseases associated with obesity reduces. You feel good. No hunger pangs, no bowel problems. SOmetimes, however, losing a LOT of weight suddenly may cause you to look a little haggard and you may see some skin-folding and wrinkling, because the skin has been used to stretched so much that when all the fat's gone, the skin can't shrink so fast. If weight goes down slowly the skin has time to adapt to the new shape and not as stretched as before. Some people may like the new compliments so much that they lose some more. and more. until they lose too much.

If you lose lots too fast, you'll feel dizzy, hungry always, perhaps some abnormal bowel movements, bad temper. Slow down a little.

If you were normal weight and took off too much weight, you'd be in big trouble. It differs from person to person, but if its extreme, it can be fatal. Nutrition deficiencies are not trivial matters, you'd feel lethargic, ill tempered, erratic heartbeat, bowel problems (usually constipation), and nutritional-associated problems.

So I think losing weight is not all about the good things you get after that. Its why you wanna lose weight and what you yourself expect when you lose the target weight that you want. Major changes in your lifestyle and food and outlook will happen, both because of the weight you put effort in losing and plan to keep from coming back.

I myself lost 23kg in 2 years. It seems a long time, but its worth it. I was overweight as a child and had a lot of teasing come my way. Now I'm like 5 kg short of my target ideal weight but it gets harder to lose it, so I'm doing it slowly and steadily. Changing my eating habits and lifestyle are permanent, I have to do so to keep the lost weight off. Yes I do get some compliments, but what I think of myself matters most

Answer 2

Yes, all of those things, and more. There is a feeling of ACHIEVEMENT in losing a lot of weight. I lost 23 kilograms, and the greatest cost was new clothes!
