I gotta do something... I dropped another belt hole. Need to decide on bibs or suspenders? But what I really need a bigger ass.

Sounds like you are in the early stages of NOASSATTALL, a disease that is afflicted on usually elderly people, but can show up in younger people. It progresses to the point where each butt cheek resembles a deflated balloon, wrinkled and droopy, with a hole between them. Overweight people are generally exempted from this condition, but it has been known to show up later in their life. There is no cure.

CC, I think that some of it drifted up here to Maine.
Well I'm glad it went somewhere useful. Trying to tip a loaded upright freezer with my wife this evening. Yeah I thought Icould do it easy. But no I struggled and said to my wife, I thought I had the ass to do this. Then Bay's words came to mind, NOASSATALL.

I would consider tipping a loaded freezer to be not a wise choice, no matter what the hind side looks like. Good recipe for warping the body, resulting in poor door seal in future.

Yeah I agree 100%... Luckly we I got it moved with nothing hurt. Moving a fridge from the barn to "man cave" later this afternoon. I'll be taking most of the heavy items out first since it's a long walk with a hand truck.

I found that my belly fat was one of the first to go when I started on the keto diet. I wonder if it was because I pretty much cut all wheat; I've read about wheat being a major culprit in belly fat, but I don't know if it's true.

Speaking of which, back around '91 or so in health class the calorie chart we had impressed upon us was 1200 for teenage females and 1800 for teenage males. Less for adults. More if you're actually doing something that requires more. I always thought that the 2000 calorie thing was weird and awfully high when it was first on labels.


1,200 kcal for teenage females is dreadfully low. A 14 year old female weighing 120 pounds needs 1,400 kcal just for normal body processes. That is, to maintain weight in a coma.

Add 1 hour of moderate activity (such as during gym class and a sport), and 2 hours of walking (5 minutes per hour, and that puts energy expenditure at 2,700 kcal.

At 14 through 18 years old, males only require *200* more kcal per day than females.

At 34 years old, lean weight 135 pounds, female, standing/walking 6 hours per day, my TDEE is 2,120. My basal is lower than a teen, but it's still over 1,200.

Calories-in-calories-out is extremely flawed and doesn't hold up in real life because the body metabolizes different macros in different ways. Totally another topic. But if one does ascribe to CICO, the 1,200 kcal for teen female and 1,800 for teen males are way off base, both in amount and proportion to each other.

This calculator is very accurate - but only if you are recording your activity levels accurately. Most people overestimate. ;)

I may have a pet peeve about women starving themselves!!! Funny thing is that on standard American diet, women can accumulate a large amount of body fat while the rest of their body is literally starving. :'( When we don't eat enough we get sick, lose muscle mass, lose bone mass, reduce heart stroke volume, so many other things that take a toll over the years. I don't believe that all of the diseases and conditions that hit women harder than men are because of reproductive hormones. I think a lot is due to chronic underfeeding.

I do notice my belly shrink with keto - but maybe there is such a thing as wheat belly? I love bread of all kinds - and it's the first thing I give up with Keto...sigh.
