Why Women Lose Weight—or Don’t

Wow!! I am guessing these gentlemen are single. And with good reason. I wonder if when they start to date people over 25 they will still be able to consistantly find women (oh, sorry I mean "chicks") under 130 pounds. Let me guess..... steroids, hair gel, in a club every weekend on .....hmmmmmm, Staten Island? I am sure their fathers don't mind that his wife is 200 lbs.

To the BOYS talking bad about bbw shut the *))*_)_ up!
coming from a MAN who has a bbw . I love you always and forever

When I was a teenager back in the early to mid eighties, most girls I knew were thin(not skeleton thin) - With nice flat tummys(not beer bellies like todays girls). And very few had this nasty big flab hips hanging out their shirts like todays young girls. Its disgusting! These girls back then werent doing anything special to look this way. They werent starving themselves. They werent at the gym everyday. They were just active(not talking on a cell phone all day)

Fatty go back to your doctor and ask him to show you what five pounds of fat looks like. Ask to touch it and then touch yourself and know that you have about 50 pounds of solid fat in your gut alone. Beautiful. BBW? What is that? The last BBW I was with farted while we made love for about 5- 10 seconds and it scared the living hell out of me.

it should be everyone's goal to eat healthy and exercise some everyday. One should try to cook healthier meals at home eating lots of veggies, lots of whole grains daily. The fast food restuarants do not offer anything remotely healthy--it's all full of preservatives and salt; even the "healthy" foods have a ton of sugar and salt. Look at lables and see what a portion size is--we've become a "super sized" society and it's killing us. Parents--get your children away from the computer, tv, video games and take them for a walk, a hike or play kick ball.Take family outings to the park and swing with them! My *** boys are overweight and instead of "diet" I am teaching the entire family about portions, self-control, proper eating habits, and healthier food options. We attempt to walk 2mi a day, normally 1mi daily. They don't have video games or tv during the week, and limited on weekends. We as a family made these choices, sometimes hard to stick to, but we stick to them. It's for our own good. It's not weight that's the issue. What you're going to do about it---that's the issue

I wish the ideal would just be HEALTHY on the inside, and then the outside would follow suit. I bet the Hollywood size 00 elite wish they could relax and have a sandwich.

Peace Prosperity and Purpose!

Listen people this is a topic of interest for me but as I've been reading the comments I realized this issue is much deeper-rooted than just weight. We are ALL indoctrinated to find any and all differences in each other so that we will be separated and against one another, hence unable to stand together on reasons of imporatance (say: starving children and families right here IN the US). If I'm not fat, I'm ugly, or too poor, or the wrong race or religion...STOP IT!!!

Study history if you want to base an INFORMED decision on what the TRUTH of the matter is, that is for ANYTHING. History, for instance, shows the woman of not long ago, INCLUDING the caucasion women of Europe, and African Goddesses to be a THICK or what mostly white people call FAT WOMAN!!!!!
You can't argue with that truth, the most beautiful women to those even in the medieval times had rolls around their waist and YOU KNOW IT {just go to ANY museum of art and have a look yourself}!

And some argue it's racial and blacks and hispanics are cooler with thickness but whites are not. I have 3 words for you ANNA NICOLE SMITH, she got what looked like BIGGER than me and well over 200 lbs at one time and MANY white men were still slobbing over her.

It is true that America allow all sorts of hormones and additives to meat and food that form addictive or unhealthy eating habits, a way around this is to eat the most natural foods you can find. Yes we need more exercise as a whole but that is not the only answer. Everyone is shaped differently, everyone is supposed to look different. If you think you are at an unhealthy weight be proactive about it but do not let ANYONE else's stupid opinion to be your motivator. More than likely those people are just hiding their own insecurities by exploiting yours. {like JoeBruin who has got to have a very, very little you know what and so he hates on others, even while reading the article and taking the time to comment, U got issues man!}

I am latino and french, I have always been thick and am now a little over 200 lbs. BUT I SWEAR TO YOU WOMEN ON ALL I HOLD DEAR, I have NEVER EVER EVER had a problem getting WHATEVER man I desire {and I am very very picky, I like athletic types, ripped bodies and gorgeous model faces, no kidding}, and they are VERY VERY attracted to me. they LOVE my size and as I've gained crazy as it sounds it seems they find me MORE attractive. I am confident and lively and have a GREAT personality and I am told I am beautiful EVERY SINGLE DAY because of that. It accentuates my natural outside beauty!

Listen to your heart and stop letting others judge you and make you judge yourself. Respect and honor yourself, the Creator and ALL Creations for the fullest, healthiest life you can have.

UNITY JOY FREEDOM LOVE

"Looking in the mirror and saying fat is beautiful is a lie." You mean like looking in the mirror and being able to see that every bone in your spine or being able to see all of your ribs? I know people who fall into the healthy category and this is how they actually look. No on eis sayign stay so fat that you get winded doing normal things or can only buy from a "specialty" store. I think the point is that when women stop hating themselves it makes it much easier to do the things that are recommended to become healthier. Your goal may not be to finally get into a 4 but focusing on being healthier tends to have a by=product of losing weight and becoming healthier,

Ok fatty, whatever! Put down the carbs and work out till you sweat and reach a heart rate of at least 130 for at least 30 minutes, 4-5 times each week. Do that for 2 months fatty. Then go to your doctor. Get vitals and labs. Then let the doctor tell you how glad he is to see your vast improvement in all areas, esp lower baseline blood pressure, which we know reduces MI's, strokes, and increases longevity. There is vast clinical data to support this in real medical journals. Fatty, this is a benefit above and beyond the increased energy and vitality you'll feel. You'll live longer and feel better each of those days. This is not just me, it is FACT. Ask 100 physicians and you'll get 100 agreements on this. So just get off your fat ass and do as I say... the words may sound rough but the underlying message will save your life and quality of life! Stupid Fatty!!

johnwood2007> in response to your recent outbreak of b.s. It is not right for you to judge anyone or their weight. They are several people I know that are obese due to gland disorders, by saying that they make excuses or come up with one, are you also saying that having a gland disorder or being cripled from birth , for example, would be an excuse?seriously, you can not judge people and put them in a category saying they made excuses to be fat. Try doing more research on a topic next time before being an *** about the whole ordeal. people that do not understand a certain subject tend to reply in some BS form because they are illeteriate to the subject and just want to express themselves.

Having traveled to many countries throughout the world I have seen the wieght of America. It is disgusting to see what our people are doing to themselves. We have become sluggish and lazy. Get out there and exercise America. Being fat is disgusting and uncomfortable. Looking in the mirror and saying fat is beautiful is a lie. Bending over to tie your shoes, Enjoying a nice 80 degree summer day at the pool, Spontinuity in a relationship, there are so many different things that cannot be accomplished as easy as the ideal wieght person. We need to make more time for excersise. Our children area fat because we teach them this way of life. It has to start now. Show your children that it is important to eat better, less, and excersise. All you fat people know, don't tell me any different. Feeling that fat restrict you from doing so many things and not having the will to do anything about it. This is why we make excuses and protect the fat way of life. Every fat person has a real excuse why they always be overwieght. It doesn't take alot to find a reason. Blood pressure, slow metabolism, gene's, molestation, death of a family member. Pick one or make one up. Bottom line, You choose this by your life style. Exercise or be fat. Don't try to make anyone believe that fat is beautiful and that you can keep up with the rest of the world, keep it real.

I have recenly lost 54 lbs and am 16 pounds away from my goal weight on Michael Thurmond's 6 week makeover plan. I tried so many diets that didn't work, and it is really hard to lose weight as one gets older as is my case. But this plan has helped me so much that I love telling people about it. Mr. Bruin, your comments were so mean spirited and unkind. I am glad I don't have you anywhere in my life!

I have been on a diet and lost close to 55 lbs and I am still planning to lose another 15 pounds or so. I am on Michael Thurmond's 6 week body makeover plan, the only eating plan that has ever helped me. I found Mr. Bruin's comments mean spirited and unkind. I'm glad I don't have you in my life!

I agree with the comment made that if we are the healthiest we can be, whether that is 250lbs or 300 and be aware of the risks at the same time I believe sociiety would be better off. People always talk about overweight or obese and BMI and all that, but we never hear too much about underweight. I also believe its peoples' perception of themselves or other people, whatever happened to BBW.

Comment: I cannot believe that a world accepts that being overweight has to be acceptable. The more the media pretends we are becoming larger and this is the "norm" more overweight people will accept this situation. It doesn't have to be this way. I have just shed 17 lbs in a month using a 20 dollar product which I made back two fold by buying less food and I feel absolute great. If readers are interested goto easy-2.com
