[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know.  I really think once you get significantly overweight, it is really hard to lose fat.  As in, you need a super large deficit for a loong time plus heavy weight training to not lose lean muscle.  99% of people just don't have the time and discipline for the gym time and diet this requires.

I say this as someone who has been a regular at the gym several days a week for years.  I see the same people there year after year, and yep, they are all still overweight and look the same. [/quote]

Imagine what they'd look like if they didn't work out!

With all the weight lifting, they are stronger, less likely to fall and break a bone and have more muscle mass that burns calories faster than fat.  Please don't discourage regular weight training.  There is more to good health than being svelte. [/quote]

Honestly, they would probably look the same because they would eat less.  Awesome they are at the gym and maybe their bones are able to retain density for longer and maybe their heart is healthier…my point was they are still overweight or obese despite regular gym attendance.  Losing a large amount of weight is really hard and often just doesn’t happen without Herculean effort and watching diet like a hawk, that was my point [/quote]
