[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a bit of a strange situation. My DH runs 5-6x/week. He monitors his steps. He makes sure to stand while he's working from home. He eats salad and vegetables frequently. He's a very healthy guy, I would say. Despite this, he still has what most people would call "flab" on his chest and midsection. He isn't "ripped", if that's the crux of this.

I am naturally thin. My mom was thin, and despite having 4 children, I'm still in 00 pants. I don't work out ever. I don't run. I eat poorly... lots of sweets and fatty things. I am a sucker for fast food. I wish I wasn't. Despite this, I look like I am in better shape than my DH. [/quote]

This was me up until a couple of months ago. BMI under 18, but did not exercise at all and ate junk food constantly (candy, ice cream, cake). Husband was fitter, rode bikes regularly, and some strength training. Then I accidentally (true story—hit the confirm button when I meant to think about it) bought a Peleton and got totally hooked on the classes (biking, running, strength, yoga). Now I exercise 1.5-2 hours a day or more—every day. I joined a Facebook group and love the virtual community. DH and I are both active apart from working out. We’re both at our lowest weights in years and we’re around 50-years-old.[/quote]
