    I didn't realize weight loss was a competition.

    HAH! That means that those of us who did have a massive head start!

    Because YOUR body says "Holy ****! Dudette! You are down in calories. There's a famine, right? Ice age? ****! I don't know what, but obviously SOMETHING is wrong. I'm going to activate your storage pathways, turn your metabolism down, and save everything I can for you. After all, who knows? You might get pregnant, and have to grow a baby and then lactate for a year or four. You'll thank me later." Meanwhile THEIR bodies say "HOLY ****! Dude! You skipped a meal! Did you mean to skip a meal? And I noticed your soda intake is down 0.4 liters from last week. And was that a weight? Did you look at the weights again? WTF? Okay, okay, I got this. Let me activate your anabolic pathways. I'll just get you secreting some human growth hormone, pump out the testosterone, burn all this fat you've got laying around so you can be even more active, and let's put some muscle on, okay? After all, your wife might get pregnant and you would have to go out and stab a mammoth in the face or wrestle a velociraptor to the ground so you can feed your family. Don't worry, man. You can thank me later." That's why. Also, men suck. :)

    I love this comment - this is my husband and his entire family! They eat and drink whatever they want and yet always looks slim. My Mom and I consume half of what they do yet we have always struggled with our weight. This is very frustrating, but i have just decided to accept the fact that I have to eat less than alot of the people around me.

    Also, do not complain too often to your significant other about how it's not fair because they have more testosterone. They will do some half-assed google "research" and then offer to "share". :)

    Please don't diminish the hard work that so many men, including myself, are putting into the huge challenge of loosing weight. I have become 100% committed to making myself healthier through nutrition and exercise. So far, it has been anything but easy. In fact in the last two weeks, despite the effort, I only lost 1.8 pounds.

    Good for the men who can eat what they want and loose weight...but don't put us all in the same category.

    I don't think it's that much easier for guys. You figure we have so much undo pressure on ourselves. On one hand, women wanting a man with a Brad Pitt body and men wanting women with a Jolie body. It's hard enough trying to look like Sponge Bob Square Pants. I am 42 yo weighing 335.4 . I was your typical high school jock turn horror story. I have jumped in and out of motivation numerous times. I think the biggest thing is having an accountability partner that tells you the truth, no matter what. With real criticism, that's what works for me. You just have to have the desire to succeed at any cost (within healthy limits), just don't give up.
