Yes. Staying on the diet is what happens to me. I've been a lot of women during my jobs over the years. I can tell you point blank I'm fat. I try my damnedest to lose weight but it's hard as hell. My whole family is big. I'm already on cholesterol medication and liver enzyme medication. I don't wish to have a stroke or a heart attack or have appendages rot off from sugar diabetes. I may lose that battle but I'll try til the end. I can tell you as a fat guy that women do pass you over if you're overweight. Same as most guys choose a skinnier woman than a fat one. We stink and I mean that literally. We fat people sweat more, so we have more to wash. If you sit down for a period of time and sweat, when you get up, you smell like a bag of ass. And if you get a yeast infection, especially a woman...we had a lift assist once on a lady who weighed more than 600 lbs. It took 7 of us to pick her up just enough to get her from stretcher to gurney. She had fat folds that were ate up with yeast infection and mold from inability and lack of hygiene. The stench was so bad, 6 of us vomited. Myself included. Also I have bedded both heavy and skinny women. The skinny one was amazing in bed. Everything hung where it was supposed to. The motion was incredible and the amount of positions was numerous. The heavy one had one position, looked like a bag of cellulite and was not good at all. So yes, advantages to skinny and medium built woman. Anything over 200 lbs...my hat's off to you gentlemen who can do it. As well as life quality? Anything over 300 lbs is a heart attack or stroke weighting to happen. Poor quality of life and personal hygiene. Have you ever installed an app like Myfitnesspal and actually counted your calories? Losing weight is harder for some than others, but it is 100% possible if you consume less than you burn. I have tended towards fatness my entire adult life and my brother in law is ripped, but if I ate his diet I would be 30kg heavier than I am now even if I did everything he did. Means I have to be stricter than him on what I eat, but it is possible. I am now down 22kg (Almost 50lb) since October.

Losing weight is relatively easy. There is no secret to it. Eat in the sensible guidelines generally laid out in any major diet. Find a way to find food that is sustainable for your tastes. Find an activity that you enjoy enough you keep doing it and you will be fit for life.

Find an activity that you enjoy enough you keep doing it and you will be fit for life. On thursday night I ran home from work at the end of my work week. (I work 12 hour days, shift work). The commute home was 59.3 km (36.8 miles). THis took me 6 hours 13 minutes. According to my running tracker I burned 4800 calories. Yeah, so I'm not fat. I don't understand how it's so easy to be fat, just burn a shit ton of calorie, there are days where I need to actively try and eat as much as I can just to fill up.

You ran for 6 hours? Most people can't even do 6 minutes. Wow.

Running is the physical pinnacle of human evolution and essentially what our body is designed to do. Why the average Canadian/American is so fat is astonishing when all you have to do is do what our bodies are built for and you will lose weight.

Most of the population is in debt, eats rubbish and is overweight. The most or the average is a piss poor comparison to live up to. When people say the average woman is a size fill in the blank here, it isn't a wake up call to change the size of the clothes. It is a wake up call to change the size of the people.

I agree with that statement to a point. But have you priced food lately? The healthy foods are more expensive than rubbish. Yes I can go to Subway, spend close to $8.00 for a sub that has no extras, and load it with vegetables, or meanwhile McDonald's down the road has McDoubles for $1.00. That's most people mindset. I can feed myself or feed my entire family. A salad is expensive as well. Corporations want us to shell out more money to lose weight and most people can't afford that.

Subway is not healthy food. Eating a loaf of bread is not healthy. You are really comparing to the worst with McDonald's. And once again with the most, I already established the most, average etc is not what anyone should strive for. Corporations don't want you to shell out money to lose weight. Where do you get that conspiracy? Unless you live in the metro areas a garden is cheap. Farmer's markets are cheap. Are the corporations shilling out bags of brown rice and chicken breasts at exorbitant prices to keep the man down? Food costs make up a lower percentage of a person's income now than they ever have been. Food costs are lower in your life for quality nutrition than it has been in any other generation. Accessibility to healthy food is higher now than ever. People make shitty choices. It's not cost-based. Especially long term, the costs of those choices add up more than eating a foot of bread.

I can feed myself or feed my entire family. A salad is expensive as well. Corporations want us to shell out more money to lose weight and most people can't afford that. Cooking from home costs so litte. I'm in Canada so my prices may not be the same as yours. Let's look at breakfast; a Mcdonalds breakfast sandwich, hashbrown and coffee will cost around $6. Cooking a similar meal at home - Loaf of reasonable bread $3/14 slices is $0.42 dollars for two slices bread. a dozen eggs cost $2.5 so two eggs cost $0.42. Mayo is like $0.10 per tablespoon, cheese is $6 per block if on sale so the cheese for breakfast is about $0.5. Peanut butter is about $0.10 per tablespoon. Banana is about $0.30. Don't drink milk, coffe, or juice they;re all bad for you. Total cost for me to cook breakfast at home. Total cost; less than $2. Even cheaper if you do oatmeal instead of bread. And when I say oatmeal I don't mean that baggd shit you throw in the nicrowave, I mean actually oats you buy in bulk and put in a pot with water and boil for a minute. It blows m mind that we have sold individual microwave portions of oatmeal when it is literally the easiest thing in the world to cook. Breakfast costs less than $2.50 to cook at home or you're doing it wrong. Let's do lunch. I precook my lunches for work in advance of the work week. Every day for lunch I eat Rice, peas, and a bean chili. THis is a very nutiritous meal. Quick math in my head puts the cost at around $1.25 per meal. This cost is so high because I am being lazy and I started buying canned beans instead of dry beans because I don't like having to make sure to soak my beans for a couple days, if I forget then the beans take forever to cook. Dinner: buy large cuts of meat, butcher it and freeze or cook it in portions. I never spend more than $2.5 per protein portion for a dinner. Rice and potatoes or whatever starch is cheap (unless you are a douce that its couscous or quinoa), yeah your veg might run you about $2 per meal, but dinner should still be easily kept under $5 when cooking at home. I eat well; well enough for me to be in better shape (fitness) than the average person. And I eat more calories than the average person. I will happily explain further if you genuinely don't know how to eat cheap.

Losing weight is relatively easy. There is no secret to it. Eat in the sensible guidelines generally laid out in any major diet. Find a way to find food that is sustainable for your tastes. Find an activity that you enjoy enough you keep doing it and you will be fit for life. Pretty much. The actions are simple it's the motivation to do it that gets people hung up. Especially if you've done shit since childhood and as an adult are trying to make the changes. Hard to give up your routine of 8 hours of call of duty while binging on twinkies and a two liter of soda to instead go ride a bike for an hour and have a grilled chicken breast and veggies for dinner. A lot of people just view losing weight as something that isn't worth the trouble and I have to admit, it sucks ass in the beginning. Your out of shape and anything physical your doing your just fucking hating it then not downing 3 bowls of pasta and eating veggies and a cut of meat for dinner instead and no pint of ice cream or cup cake for dessert, oh fuck that. After awhile though it just becomes your routine. It's all about consistency in the early going. You don't have to be going all out at the gym, even if your only running 10 minutes on the treadmill every day, as long as your doing it and it's becoming part of your routine then you are on the right track. Same with healthy eating. I don't eat healthy 24/7, I enjoy my junk food and am ok with not having abs to have some junk food in my life but the good eating far outweighs the bad so it's a workable lifestyle for me. Eat clean during the week and be more laxed on weekends to allow for some cookies or a burger or whatever your junk of choice is. I don't know anybody who eats clean 24/7 and I know some very in shape people but I still see them mow down a pan of toll house cookies from time to time. The trick I find with exercise though is it's easiest if it's an activity you don't even associate with exercise. I play basketball 3 days a week on my off days from the gym, it's great. Your keeping your heart rate up with the running and it's just easy to get lost in what your doing. Same with swimming, swimming is fun as shit.

Spot on vendrell. Playing sports is fun, people should do more of that.
Also, once you get in good shape you do get to occasionally eat a bucket of ice cream, and that's fun too.

I do a lot of childish workouts. Throwing balls against walls. From medicine balls to reflex balls and bouncy balls. I kick soccer balls against walls. Child's play is good fun.
If you can sweat down your face and enjoy doing it enough to repeat it you are doing it right.

I've been using my juicer more and more lately, really thinking about trying the all juice diet for a few weeks, only problem is that it's such a huge undertaking to clean the fucking thing. Usually I just make some apple juice with the thing but this past Sunday I made one with all kinds of shit, 2 red apples, 2 green apples, a handful of sugar snap peas, a carrot, a half a cucumber, a half a bag of lettuce, blue berries, black berries, straw berries, it was surprisingly drinkable, the fruit really does cancel out the taste of the veggies and it made me feel pretty good. Definitely got to drink more of those, maybe I need to hire a maid to clean the damn thing though, what a pain in the ass. Who the fuck has time for that? But I've been wondering what if I make up like a few dozen juices all at once and store them in the fridge in mason jars or something? Also watching James Harden got me wanting to play some basketball so I bought a new ball a few weeks back and started using the basketball court a few blocks over from my house(really nice one just sits unused most of the time). I would go and shoot the ball around for an hour on my days off from the gym. Last week I started to feel froggy and tried to slam dunk, the ball hit the rim and I fucked my shoulder up really fucking bad. No more basketball for me, I'm getting old man.

I wouldn't even venture a shot at slam dunking at this point in my life. At one point in my younger days I could do it but I got a jacked up knee so leaping is out for me.
