[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many different factors that go into it for every overweight person.  Combination of stress, mental well being, job (type, number of hours, stress level), length of commute, on and on.

But I'd say on the whole, it's damn hard to stay thin right now.  We are all tired, stressed, and crappy food is relatively cheap and everywhere.  We don't get enough sleep.  Our jobs, our commutes, everything about our lives is geared towards sitting down.  50 years ago gyms didn't even exist.  Humans take the path of least resistance.  We only have so much willpower.  We all need help.[/quote]

That's a cop-out. No one is too busy to exercise and lose weight. If you have an hour to watch a TV show, you have an hour to exercise. I need to shed 30 pounds. I'm also the married mom of 4 and I WOHM. I've started getting off the Metro several stops before my usual spot and walking to work; I do the same in the afternoon. Totals 2.5 miles/day. Not much, but it's a start and, combined with eating 1300 calories a day, I'm seeing results. [/quote]

I'm 40 pounds overweight. I'm also a triathlete. This week, I biked 20 miles twice, swam 1600 twice, and ran 5 miles twice. (I have a spring tri in August.) I ran a half-marathon in April. I also go to karate class twice a week. I'm fit AND fat. My doctor is very happy with all of my blood work.

I am not eating 1300 calories a day just to change the way I look. Fuck that. [/quote]
