[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a theory I have heard that I completely believe as they enter my 40s. Women that are objectively thin at this age are either a) genetically small. Look at their mothers and sisters. Or b) disordered. [/quote]

or c) work hard at it (not the same thing as disordered)[/quote]

Again, difference between fit and thin.

Women who are THIN as they age are a) or b) pretty much without fail.  Exercise does not make you thin.[/quote]

True. I am 42 - 4'11" and have weighed 95-105 lbs my entire adulthood. I eat whatever I want and never step foot in a gym. I try to gain weight and just can't. I eat awfully - McDonalds when I am rushed. I even have a toned stomach and have no idea how....it's not like abs for days, but it's flat as can be.  I am also in the worst shape of my life....I can't run for 2 minutes without being winded. I have a friend who would be considered "big bone girl" (I actually hate that term). She is 190lbs and can run circles around me. She is so fit, but a lot of people just see her a a big girl, and she gets a lot of nasty comments too.

Bottom line....people suck.[/quote]

I'm the same way, although I do have to watch what I eat. I never work out (pure laziness, I'll admit it). I'm 5'4'' and vacillate between 125-127 lbs. I briefly got up to probably 140 about 8 years ago and worked out for a month and it came off. However, I'm not in good shape, fitness-wise.

My husband is 5'7'' 180 lbs (actively trying to lose weight) and can run circles around me. He also has to watch his diet and exercise religiously to avoid being even more overweight.

Metabolisms can suck. [/quote]
