It always seems as if overweight people have tons of excuses and fit people have tons of answers.
I'm willing to bet the majority (including about 90% of obese people in this thread) do not suffer from medical conditions serious enough to keep you obese. Your endocrine system might not be at perfectly optimal levels however, it is most likely bullshit to think you are an exception to the rule. Some people just need to work harder to reach specific goals... if your thyroid is under performing, then you might need to work a little harder... that is life.
Unless you're a type I diabetic, you are probably insulin resistant because of your weight and borderline type II diabetic. Lose the weight, watch your insulin sensitivity return to normal.
From the 50's until today, obesity has skyrocketed in the US... this isn't a case of genetic de-evolution... this is a case of poor choices and over convenient, sedentary lifestyles over long periods of time.
Just because you think you're eating healthy and you work out for a year and don't lose much weight doesn't mean its a medical issue... it took years and years for you to get exactly where you are.
Those that have made the jump from obese to fit aren't lucky, they are hard working people who have changed their lifestyles completely and don't look at eating right and working out as a "diet"... it is simply everyday life.
Look at this shit...
