[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not all just the simple math of (calories in through food) - (calories burned through exercise). I've watched my wife eat far less than me while exercising far more than me (as in, among other things, training for and running a marathon) and still struggle with her weight. So, if you believe it's that simple, then you're either stupid, naive, or willfully ignorant. [/quote] But it really is simple math. You are right in that different people have different caloric needs -- we all have those friends that eat TONS and weigh 120 lbs. Life is unfair in this respect. But you can lose weight if you simply expend more calories than you consume. Typically you do that through a combination of cutting calories (and very healthy eating) and exercise. Losing weight isn't easy in the sense that being hungry all the time sucks. And unfortunately, that is what it takes. I lost 40 lbs in about 6 months and have kept it off. It wasn't easy for sure (I'm almost 40 yo and have had 3 kids). But it can be done if you commit to it.[/quote]
