[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2554187, member: 517579"] My weight loss has been a series of stop and goes. I lost about 10 kg in the first six weeks of keto, for example, compared with 1kg in the last six months although I have lost a further two inches from my waist. However, in those six months I've been doing a lot of exercise and have probably gained some muscle and bone density. I seem to lose more through the winter than through the summer as well. Short answer is I'm not really worried about my weight, more about the proprortion of body fat. That's hard to measure at home (although the waist to height ratio is one way to estimate it) so weight gets used as a proxy. Also bear in mind that BMI estimates were designed for use with populations rather than for individuals. [/QUOTE]
