Do you really think there is any hope for overweight people.Isn't it a continual daily battle?

Yes it is a daily struggle. I think that it is a determination and willpower issue. I have fluctuated back and forth from skinny skinny to FAT. I got fat when I didn't try and just gave up. You get out what you put in, plain and simple.

Yes but you would have too keep losing about 2-3 punds a week at a constant rate. Beleive this is one hard task. You have to give a lot of respect to extremely obese people that try to lose weight. It's probobly like trying to quit smoking or something like that. Any losing weight is one of the biggest challenges you will have in your life because it is a 24/7 task.

Honestly...have you been completely oblivous over the last 5 years? Have you been hiding in a shell?  All we see on Television is ways of combating Obesity. I dont thinks it necessary for me to answer this!

Sometimes . Fortunately i don't have  any  weight problems, so i don't have to worry about THAT aspect.  I know that healthy eating has more to it. And i really  wish i could say  - yes, always. But... there are so many delicious things out there! And its  such a pity they are almost always unhealthy :)

As you say, its chicken and egg!\nYes Im fat, but I am losing it after getting a wake up call and being diagnosed as diabetic in June this year.  I think being overweight you get a gradual erosion of self confidence and self respect, and it nose dives from there...;\nThen of course there is GUILT....you dont want to go there...lol

I, for one, have never once worried about my weight - or needing to diet, to keep it in 'shape' !\n...It is the MEN and the MEDIA who are all out to brainwash us that 'skinny is sexy' and 'beanpoles are beautiful' ! How else could they market all those fancy 'diet' foods and beverages, plus 'instant reduction' cosmetic surgical techniques like liposuction - and rake in billions in profits ?\nIt is still very much a marketing MAN's world, baby : And it is going to be a real struggle, for us women to unite and stand-up against these stupes to announce : 'We are HAPPY being healthy, and well built. It is these MEN who need be slim and bony' !

My research has been limited only to my family( including near and dear cousins) and trust me, being overweight runs in the family(atleast in  mine)! Lots of people in my family struggle with weight and obesity even though we are a pretty active people in respect of exercising and keeping fit. We have to work hard to keep the weight down.

I think as long as there is breath in your body life is worth living. There is always something new around the next corner. As one who was "morbidly" obese and had surgery to fix that I can say life is much better now however life wasn't so bad then just harder. Peoples attitudes were the hardest things to deal with when they would look at you with disgust in their eyes or just make rude comments... heck they didnt even know me or my medical conditions!!!!

I wonder the same. These people want a very quick fix. It can happen easy if you do all the right things. I was never overweight but heading there and I decided after my 3rd baby I want and I can have that body I want. Like probably these ppl it seemed impossible and you dont want to suffer w/o guarenteed results. But I made up my mind,I use common sense and here I am, I weigh 112 now,size 1/2 and fit. I look at cake now and unlike before I have no desire. There are pleanty of healthy yummy things to stuff my face with.

It's interesting. Not realistic for the average person, but can give someone hope for themselves to lose massive weight.

yes i think you are overweight. im sorry for being upright. but, you can start by eating daily salads everyday and lots of fruit. most people actually feel hungry because they are thristy. thrist turns into hunger. also cut down on carbs, and meat. stay on a low fat diet and drink lots of water! good luck. :)

this is an sensitive subject so ill try and be as gentle as possible depending on your body mass and  If you are normally sedentary and are extremely overweight seek medical attention I personally have lost an considerable amount of weight but I still have a ways to go.  Back to you I say seek help because if you are extremely overweight there are certain health risks that have to be weighed before starting any diet and exercise regimen such as general health and ability you should be able to tell if you do to much but in some cases you cant don't play games with your well-being the most important thing is to believe in yourself and to understand it takes as long to take it off as it did to get it there so try not to get discouraged I at present have hit a plateau in which my weight loss has stopped but I'm still trying never give up only you can control your own weight and it is not necessarily how much food you consume but the types and when and how often you eat I learned that by eating foods high in protein and restricted my intake of fatty foods and certain types of carbs I was able to lose my weight 120 pounds so far and counting but if you feel the need there is always bariatric surgery its a little scary to me but it still comes into my mind when i think about my other obesity related health problems Just a little something to think about hope I helped a little instead of just sounding like an babbling idiot

That is a good question.  Regardless of how others feel.  We are not to be judgmental.  REMEMBER What goes around comes around.....  \nI wish you the best of luck.\nKeep in mind some weight gain is not because you eat to much or exercise to little it is genetic.  I have those genes in my family back ground and weight is a factor.  I have to control my food intake and watch what I eat.  Maintaining weight is hard.\nI wish you the best of luck.

Personally, I think getting rid of all the all-you-can-eat buffets is definately not the answer. Not everyone who enjoys the venue is is plagued with weight issues. To me it would seem like a very, minimal at best, bandaid solution. We have to try to understand the "why" behind obesity and do something to help those at risk of becoming obese as well as those who are presently so......but I don't think the answer just lies in shutting down the all-you-can-eat buffets. For that matter then, we should shut down all the fast food restaurants in general and only allow salad bars and health food stores to remain oepn......but that sounds a little severe, don't you think?\n\nWe are undoubtably living in a world of instant gratificatification, ranging anywhere from video games to drugs to sex and yes food. It seems that the people constantly require more and more to feel "happy" only to find out that more and more is harder and harder to get and we end up in a catch 22, chasing this more and more but never seeming to be happy enough. \n\nI think we all have to take a step back and look at ourselves, our unique situations, and our world and find out how we can truly benefit our bodies and benefit the world in the mean time. Maybe taking time to smell the roses will open our eyes enough to start feeling truly happy about who we are and who we can be and ultimately contribute to our own lives and the world in a much more productive manner.

Yes. You are more likely to have diabetes, heart disease, and cancer in your lifetime if you are overweight.
