[QUOTE="fene48, post: 1226413, member: 245388"] Hi Just a few observations from one who has lost weight and is still losing. 1.You're unscientific figures align pretty well what my unscientific trawling came up with - but from different sources. 2. Genes dictate where you lay the fat down and if you don't like it stiff cheddar. No spot reductions possible. 3. Yup, you are right as soon a you transition off a diet (VLCD in my case) you put back 2 kilos. 4. It seems that your body will decide where the fat goes from and when and how much and ..... 5. The bloody plateaus - I was on one for 5 weeks and nothing happened. Then suddenly some shifted. 6. I moved a fair bit of visceral fat, exercised like an athlete, getting some fairly impressive abs but still waiting for the visceral fat to shift and my waist to get smaller. (I do 15 sets of 15 reps @120kg on the abdominal machine plus row 5x5kms under 23 mins every week). But man oh man, my BG is in heaps better shape. 7. So far lost 18 kgs and still have some way to go. By the way, the above ramblings have been confirmed by my sports physician/exercise physiologist (who is an eminent sports medico). He assured me that my "exercise programme seems to be very well constructed and appropriate" and that as I was doing the right stuff "just keep doing it - your body will respond in its own way, when its ready". As it cost me $250 for his advice, I think I will accept it and 'just do it'. I don't know it helps, but hope and patience will get us there. Regards PS an older diabetic like me can loose 400-450g of lean muscle tissue per year and similarly with dieting (300-350g per kg lost), so a solid resistance component can be importsnt. [/QUOTE]
