The muscles support your skeleton. Just find a happy medium 😊

If you are only a stone overweight I would not worry about losing weight.
Having a few extra pounds is helpful if you get really poorly.
My super slim father has recently put on a bit of a weight and I’m delighted.

Has anyone else read this article, it’s headed ‘warning to slimmers’.
I do wish they would add more specific data. As I’m currently trying to lose a stone in weight I’m a bit worried now. I’m assuming they mean unintentionally losing weight, but it does say weight loss involves muscle loss and the heart is a muscle!
I’m just confused now whether to carry on, I’m 72, and my bmi shows slightly overweight.
