I was told today that I will never lose weight because of genetics. I wasn't meant to be under 200 pounds. I just want to know if anyone else has been told this? what is your story and how did you react?

    Genetics plays a big part in how our muscles develop, and grow when we work out. Ie. We can't all have David Beckham's abs, or Heidi Klum's body after all those kids, our genetics won't always allow it but they do not control our weight. They may dictate how fast or slow we gain or lose weight, but to say that a person is just supposed to be a certain weight is silly.

    Are you over 7 feet tall? What qualifications did this opinionated person have?

    Don't worry about what other people say, or what the end will look like. Just work on losing the next pound. You'll get where you are supposed to. It's amazing what te human body can accomplish if you do what it needs you to do.
