At the risk of sounding like a whiner, how come it is so much easier for guys to lose weight than girls. Yes, I know they weigh more, and more muscles, thus they will burn more calories in a shorter amount of time. I get (just a tad) annoyed when you get some guy losing 100 lbs in 5 months and I am working my butt off to lose 10 lbs in 4 month. :tongue:

    I think the theory is that women store extra because we're the ones who lug the babies around for nine months. Starvation and pregnancy really don't go well together, so we get the joy of extra fat and less muscle.

    Yay us.

    Blech. I agree, I'm whining right there with you. Men are lucky.

    Well, I would think that staying in the kithen all day must be difficult. All the food just right there, tempting you. Maybe you could do more ironing, or vacuuming? Cleaning counts as excersize.

    Just turn a negative into a positive ... at least we don't have any danger of thinking with the wrong heads. :wink:

    Probably the hormone difference. The more muscle you carry the faster your metabolism. And we have more testosterone to do so.

    I hear you!!!

    After having kids I had like 70 pounds to lose. My husband dieted with me and lost 40 pounds easily in no time without feeling hungry, blah blah blah and got to his goal. It took me 3 years of struggling to get to pre-pregnancy weight. I wanted to punch him in the face! haha.

    oh and he's making me a sandwich right now. Yeah, I wear the pants. haha

    I don't know if I agree with you on this, I'm down 173 lbs and my wife 123 lbs, but percentage wise we are pretty close +/= 5 percent and only recently when I started working out more ferociously did I overtake her.
