I completely disagree. I went to the gym for two years straight, five times a week, every morning, and walked out of the gym every day sweating. I also dieted. I thought I would exercise and reduce the amount of food I ate, and eat better, and magically I would loose weight. Two years later I weighed ten pounds more.

There is a number of factors to weight gain and loss and you are only discussing two of them. Sleep, metabolism, and stress come to mind.

I can pin point the exact moment I started to gain weight - it was when I quit smoking. This is very common.

But a single visit to the gym - or going for two months - does not magically fix the problem.

Could Always Turn It Around
 

Its hard for me to understand how a person could let themselves get obese unless you have a medical condition, but its always possible to turn it around. Just stop eating so much, not too hard or I guess it's hard because we wouldn't have fat people.

Im pissed off Mexico passed the USA as the fattest nation! Murica needs to step up its game.

hence the reason why I say 9 out of 10 times :2 cents:

Still my point stands.

So cigarette is helping diet?Tho i must admit if you would ask me do i know a fat person which smokes,i couldn't remember anyone.Perhaps i should start smoking lol

I was at the event. I would have gladly taken a moment to hear your concerns.

Anyway,I know that woman in your funny picture. She happens to be a lovely person who has lost over 100 pounds in the last year without surgery and was allowing herself a weekend of feeling like a human being.

I do think attempting to look after yourself is important and it is a shame when someone has lost the will to do so but that includes substance abuse,drinking,reckless unprotected sex and any number of life choices that isn't as obvious to the casual observer. Of course, I also think it is a shame when a grown adult doesn't have the courage to say something to a person's face but sneaks photos he can use to mock them from the safety of his keyboard.

I would say it is that SIMPLE but not that easy. Big differences.

Some people are weak minded in many ways and can't stick to things too long including diet, exercise, money management, learning a language etc...

But for many people who use overeating to cope with emotional pain (and I would say that that is a BIG percentage of people who are overweight) it is not because they are weak.

Menopause!!! Men and women age, go through the change, get grumpy, their penis/vagina/anus stops working as well as it used too. They develop lumps where there weren't any, other lumps sag, they don't see so well any more. Organs stop working or slow down/speed up, life's repressed traumas have a way of catching up with you when you age also.

Them damn ear hairs that grow inward will drive you fucking nuts!

And no regimen, drugs, diet, supplements work exactly the same on any 2 persons. Sooner or later we all become victims of aging and gravity.

Wait till you have to tuck your balls into your socks to keep them for getting rug burn at the office.

I think this thread has caused me to gain 20lbs. A bunch of chubs and chasers in the house. The truth shall set us free!

They look like a species of walrus but without the tusk

EXACTLY!!! When I walk 60-120 minutes a day, AND DON'T EAT AFTER 4pm, I lose weight. When I stay stationery and eat late, I gain weight. Simple, right?

BUT NOT EASY.

You've always struck me as a bit of a dumbass in certain respects of life, diet-and-exercise is one of them.

Funny thing how I see you taking selfies holding a large pizza.

I'll be turning 30 soon, and it is a little easier to pack on weight then when I was maybe 16-17 but it's only maybe 20-30% easier, not much considering. While I'm not Ripped I can still bench more than my own weight and have a resting heart rate below 50 bpm.

I do long burns at the gym 3-4 times a week. All gyms should have wifi right now, get out your favorite Netflix queue or shows and do 60-90 minutes on the elliptical (watch tv at the gym not your house) throw in some weights for muscular build. You will lose weight this way pretty quick, well most will anyway. Eating a pizza afterwards will counter that.

Unless you have a very unique medical problem which makes you obese, if you can't figure out how to lose weight you're just too damn stupid. :2 cents:

When it comes down to it, it is simple physics.

Our bodies expend energy and if you put in more than you burn and you're body is good at storing what you don't expend immediately, you will put on weight in the form of fat.

Working behind a keyboard a lot requires that I get and exercise, lest I become a fat fuck like one of the butt hurts in this thread.

Holy shit dude. Enjoy life a little, will you please? Sushi is your 'cheat food'? OMG.
Eat a twinkie, please.
(Though in this crazy biz that can mean something altogether differant, so....eat a doughnut, please. No wait....um, eat some candy....dammit, porn has ruined all examples for me.)

I've been gone for a fucking while and this fucking thread comes up?? WTF?...do I really need to read through it all? God damn it you fuckers this is going to be a waste of my time unless you have figured out how I can get paid to read GFY threads? Anyone?? ... god damn this is where I throw my drink in your face and tell you to meet me outside!

Of course it is not easy to actually do it, proof is all around you. However it often is the sollution and the sollution IS easy.

Ok I could only read this thread through the first couple pages but wtf? You all don't understand the complexity of each individual human being that may or may not be fat. The simple truth that some people eat and rely on that as a crutch the same as you may rely on fucking the girl with big tits and a slim waist? Really? For some of the plus sized humans in this world they look forward to eating a bowl of ice cream like you might look forward to fucking some sexy chicks so if that is their vice then they might end up having a body that is plump and stuffed with fat! In their mind I'm sure they don't figure they can stop at a certain point but rather look to others and the remarks that others make. However when the weight keeps them from doing the things the would like to do then sure, it may be a warning to stop eating McDonalds double cheese burgers but fuck they those cheese burgers only cost a dollar and the heathly alternative costs them five bucks if they want to consume a salad with light vinigarette dressing. Personally I've been to the obese side and I've been to the "too skinny" side as well but it comes down to a point of personal health. If you can't walk because you are too fat then I'm sure it crosses your mind that you indeed need to loose some of the weight but besides that if you are accomplishing the things you want in life then maybe being overweight is not something that concerns you. Infact there are so many people that might encourage you to keep eating and ....fuck this thread should die....just had to get my 2cents in ;) ... 2 points need to be made: 1) are you too large to do the things you want? ...then fucking change it and make some goals to get happy 2)if you really think you have a disease then seek some help with your habits and/or consult a weight loss surgeon to staple up your stomach so that you simply cannot obsorb the amount of food that your mind tells you to eat.

Fat == will-less and ugly fuck/cunt, and yes, I'm judgemental. All that you need to keep yourself fit is (1) check your weight regularly, (2) eat less calories than you spend (so count your calories and either do more sport or eat less, or both) and (3) - eat more or less healthy food, without trans-fats and with minimum of carbohydrates. Disabled people are the exception. Starving people in Africa don't get fat, your fat is your guilt only.

A healthy man or women should have enough will to be moderate in food, it's really not that hard.

Now some advice.
If you see that you start having problems with weight the first thing to do is to start count your calories. You have to ensure that every day you eat the same number of calories. This will be your point of reference. Having such point is absolutely vital, without it any diet will likely fail. Then in a week weight yourself. If you see your weight went up just correct your ration and have 10% less calories a day. Then repeat it in the next week. Keep cutting calories untill you see you start losing 3-4 kg/month. Eat more if you see you start losing more than 4 kg/month. To make this easier eat less carbohydrates (sugar, white bread, sweet fruits) and exclude transfats - ensure all vegetable oil you eat is either olive or sunflower but not cheap palm or rape. This will allow you keep eating more protein- and fat-rich food, you won't get too hungry. It's really not that hard when you get used to it, you need just a little bit of will.

I'm fat (gut and moobs) and even I find myself asking that question. Like say you stop in a walmart you almost always see someone too obese to walk and using an electric scooter, mouth breathing and all that. How the fuck does that happen?

This happens more often than people think. It's usually because of the old adage "Muscle weighs more than fat". An overweight person starts working out, he might lose 15 lbs of fat over a year or two but also gain muscle weight, and then stand on the scale after all that excersise and diet scratching his head because he hasn't lost weight and in fact gained some. It's common.

The thing that needs to be focused on most with such people is overall fitness, not weight. Getting a checkup with your doctor, especially one who has examined your health before you started excercise and dieting, will have a good comparative analysis with which to work from. They can let you know if you're on the right track or not, or what you might do or need to get on a better track.

Roald's comment was correct in a sense, as was yours. Everyone here needs to stop disagreeing and start listening. Arguing each of our individual cases is nonsensical.

It's funny how everyone's definition of "fat" is different.

Ill pass I enjoy looking like I do on a daily basis. Ill have stuff here and there but its not worth it. Being very lean you see all sorts of fluctuations whenever you eat so i prefer to keep things as is :thumbsup

Fat is beautiful!

Nah, it is that easy, meth in, fat out. Simple.

I may have to re-think some of my earlier opinions. Good on her:
