 Osteoporosis is very common, affecting one in three women and one in twelve men over the age of 50. By my age, more than 50% of women, including myself, have Osteoporosis. Bathroom scales measure weight, they do not differentiate between lean healthy tissue and excess body fat. Scales do not consistently show evidence and reward the people who are focusing on building a fit healthy body, strength training, to protect themselves from osteoporosis by ensuring they do not lose muscle as they lose weight and gain age. I cringe when the focus on the scales leads people to cut calories so low there is insufficient nutrient in the diet, adding to the loss of muscle and bone density and the inevitable slowing down of metabolism which is the reason why 95% of all people who diet to lose weight regain all and more weight than they lost. I have been there too. I was a yo you dieter for most of my life. My highest weight was 115 kilo and size 22/24 . I am now a size 12 top 14 jeans and I have maintained my size now for over two years. I would like to be size 12, but I want strong bones and muscles a LOT MORE, than i want to loose weight. I have learned to let go of my focus on the scales and concentrate on doing what I need to do to have a healthy body, which in turn allows me to lead the happy active life I love.
