Since I've finished my hcg part of my journey my focus has shifted to fitness. Being the way I am, I also research what challenges others might be encountering. For example, my dad is also working through the hcg diet and learning how to stabilize/maintain.
Age is a factor! Someone in their early 20s (let's say overweight but no health implications yet) will experience less challenges than someone of the same weight/height in their 50s who's now either diabetic or at least orderline. The younger we are the less loose skin will be an issue from weight loss in excess of 60lbs. I've seen some lose over 100lbs in their mid 20s and have zero loose skin (lucky)! Being in my mid 30s I can say that, yes, I have some loose skin but it's not bad. I feel confident that with time and exercise I can greatly improve the functionality and appearance of my physique. It is to my benefit not only now but in the long term. The best news is that it is never to late to make this change in your life!
Studies show that increasing activity in midlife can greatly improve quality of life. Those who got off the couch and committed to simply walking almost every day for only 20 minutes decreased their risk of chronic deases.

I think I'll invite my dad out for more walks. It'll be good for both of us! :)
