AGAIN SAME PRAYER: I want to lose at least seven, preferably ten pounds. I am really being good. I am watching what I eat, and I am doing at least an hour a day on my stationary bike, one-half hour at a time. I am starting to get mad. I tried on some of my clothes that were too tight, and they still are. I have not weighed myself, but I do not think I have lost an ounce. I know I am over 50, but, come on! Since I am not dead, I must have some metabolism left. And all the different advice -- Fast for a few days. No. don't do that. You will lower your metabolic set-point if you fast or eat too little. All this junk about cortisol that I read. I am trying to listen to my PA, who told me I could lose the weight and gave me some sensible tips. Anyway, for the gazillionth time, I pray you will pray that I just can knock off this lousy weight, my clothes stop being tight and that I can keep the weight off through reasonable eating. (That is other maddening part of this -- I did lose about five pounds a while back. Then I gained it back. It is like a yo-yo thing, and I really can;t tell why I lost or gained the weight to begin with!!!) Thank you for praying. Your sister in Christ, Lamb.
