  • Congratulations! Pulling your hair back in a tight bun sometimes helps a little. For me, my dresses get longer. Wouldn't be an issue if I didn't have to use a (rollator) walker. If my dresses/skirts are too long they roll up in the wheels of my walker. Getting a new wardrobe is expensive, but I just make do with what I have. If you wear jeans or like tight fitting clothes/bras that would be an issue. Some medications may have to be adjusted according to body weight, I'm not sure. And sometimes it affects your feet as well. I think people notice it more when they gain weight and their shoes get tight, but loose shoes can cause accidents, too.
  • Nothing bad about being healthier. I would say that losing weight would be a negative thing if you were already under your ideal BMI. Some people are afraid of having loose skin, but the fact of the matter is that, the longer a person hangs on to excess weight, the looser the skin will get, so I don't really see that as a "con."
  • Wrinkles
  • The downside is gaining it back if you don't maintain your weight. lol
  • Depend what you're losing. Most of the time you're simply losing water - not fat - which is the point of weight loss. if you're actually seeing facial changes then your weight problem is probably glandular.
  • Hunger? Sagging skin at a certain age, as it isn't as elasticated anymore, in that case it is best to lose it slowly. But you are right, and some people look older after losing weight, I suppose you have to weigh that up with the benefits of losing weight as fat around your organs, and cholesterol for the heart isn't a good thing either and can lead to an early death.
  • Oh, I just thought of another good one! Have you ever seen someone's drawers fall down because of weight loss from their hips/butt?
  • You will need to buy smaller clothes upon losing weight.
  • The downside of losing weight is being so thin that the bones in the body are almost visible and being anorexic which is not good. Just be careful with losing weight and eat healthy foods to make your body’s weight evened out.
