[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]its a simple equation that works for pretty much everyone - eat less, move more.[/quote]

Pretty much this. 
Enjoy eating lots of calories? Then make sure your activity level matches. 
Don’t enjoy activity? Eat fewer calories.

Either way, stay away from heavily processed crap.[/quote]

Actually for some people, exercise stimulates conservation of calories and slows the metabolism— your body thinks there is scarcity and conserves. It’s saves energy in other ways, like running cooler, breathing slower in not execution times. [/quote]

Go watch “Alone” - every single participant loses significant amounts of weight, even those who are relatively successful at procuring food, because they’re still burning a ton and not eating enough to cover it.  That’s how human bodies *actually* work.  [/quote]

I thought I could never lose the baby weight after I had kids.

I needed surgery and was on a liquid diet for 10 days and I dropped almost 20 pounds. If you don’t eat, you lose weight.

I guarantee if OP or any other fat person had access to limited food and ate minimal calories, they would drop weight. [/quote]

And when you drop weight without surgery what's left in your body is a bunch of starving fat cells. It's hard to maintain weight loss. How do people not know this? I don't really work to maintain my weight, but I learned this in a college fitness class.[/quote]

Pp here. I had another baby after I had that surgery. I was able to lose all my baby weight and was the most fit in my life at age 40.

I tracked my calories. I worked out daily. If OP’s daughter wants to lose weight, she can. It takes discipline though.

I’m relatively thin. I weigh 125 pounds in my forties. I hang out with thin healthy people. I’m fairly certain I’m the biggest one of my friends. I like to eat. My friends seem to live off salad. That is what they order when we go out.[/quote]
