I agree with Beetle & Mely...stay active. What is more important than what the scales say is the body fat composition. Two people who are the same height & weight can have totally different amounts of fat on their bodies. A pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat. A pound of muscle also burns more calories when you're not active. Scales ought to be outlawed...they don't tell a person what their fitness level is...the fitness level is much more important than just plain weight!
: I also do scuba diving & mount climbing. What can I do to prevent having dry skin ?
: I always diet but eventually ended up frustrated and heavier. Are there any ways to stay on with the ideal weight ?
