Bryony, what you say seems very good sense to me, as do many of your other posts that I have seen in this and other threads. The problem is of course actually losing the weight. Thirty five years ago I managed to shed a great deal of weight, almost to the verge of anorexia, but thereafter marriage and other factors led to an inexorable increase followed by a sawtooth over the last twelve years. What I really need to tackle is the intra-abdominal fat, which is the most unhealthy - a bit or even quite a lot of external padding is said to be relatively harmless by comparison. It may be wishful thinking, but if I can sawtooth off some of the internal fat on the downswings and replace it with external fat on the upswings, I may be making progress.
EricaB, my experience of trying to lose weight is that, even naked first thing in the morning, it varies wildly without identifiable cause and often contrary to reason, but over a more extended period there is a trend. One way to tackle this is to calculate a daily rolling average over say ten days but I've never been that obsessive.
