Why Women Lose Weight—or Don’t

Why must we continue to perpetuate the notion that only women should be concerned about obesity? Are there no obese men who might also suffer from the unhealthy side effects of obesity?

We beed to believe and say to ourselves, "I love my body exactly the way I am." That's how you lose or maintain weight as you are.

Weight and clothing size correlations vary widely. At 5'8" and 250lbs I didn't have to actually go to a smaller size until after I'd lost more than 30 lbs. After that, I went down one size for about every 10 - 15 lbs. So you shouldn't be discouraged by someone else's stated results. Find your own motivation and your own goals. Otherwise, you'll get discouraged and be less likely to succeed.
