In my opinion you just need to give yourself more time to get used to 2000 calories and eating less.For me it was hard for the first 2 weeks,then i just got used to eating less.

Based on previous posts from sondre, she's hardly sitting on her butt all day.  She stays active chasing after 2 little ones, and she walks everywhere.  Just because she isn't sweating at the gym every day doesn't mean she's inactive and unhealthy. --->

Thank you! Some people seem to think that if you are not at the gym everyday then you are not healthy or dont value your health.

So sorry for "stealing" your thread .

so being thin is more important than being healthy?  good choice. -->

I dont think i said that being thin is more important than being healthy. i dont think that wanting to lose weight means that health is not important.

i didn't say you're not healthy -->

Good! Because i am healthy . And thats good enough for me!

you seem to be arguing against health as a value -->

Where did you see me saying that? Anyway,the person who posted this question wanted to know why is it harder to lose weight for some people than others, and NOT why some people are healtier than others.And i dont think this person really cares about me being healthy or not.And why my health would bother you i got no idea.but you being healthy or ill /skinny or fat or whatever doesnt bother me at all .

being thin (or even a "healthy weight") without being healthy isn't likely to improve your quality of life. -- >

What sort of powers do you have to say i am not healthy just by looking at my picture or reading my posts ? What makes you think that i have any health problems or i am not healthy ?

 No, being slim & at healthy weight is BETTER than being FAT ! So yes - i think it is a good choice !

 'Healthy weight' is not synonymous with 'being healthy.'

 Read my post again - i wasn't talking about being healthy ! i said that being slim & at healthy weight(not underweight) is better than being fat! thats just how it works for me ! some people are fat and they are happy about it ,they dont want to change and it doesnt bother me at all . If your happy - good for you.but when i was fat,i didnt like myself at all & i wasnt happy about it ! and getting slimmer was 100% a good choice !

I'm eating 1200 calories a day and walking and I weigh 271 lbs.  My doctor has OK'd the 1200 calories a day for me so please don't say it's "not healthy" since I'm only 19.


 Check out your healthy calorie intake here :

I've been training for a half ironman for the past 4 months. On average I run/cycle/swim with a heart rate between 130 - 175 depending on the activity (average 130 for swimming, 150 for cycling, 170 for running) for about 9 - 12 hours per week - sometimes more.  I eat on average 1800 calories per day, 2000 if I have a 2+ hr run or cycle that day. I don't have cheat days. I don't drink. I measure and weigh everything that goes into my mouth. I don't eat out ever. According to the math I should be losing weight like crazy. I'm not. I never do. It just isn't that simple for everyone. Even if the 'estimates' for burn and metabolism are off significantly I should be losing substantial weight every week with my level of activity - I don't.

 You are just like me then ... If i exersice i dont lose weight,don't know why,its just the way it is .But if i just eat healthy foods and count calories without any exersice i lose weight fast . So i dont exersice .

Weight Loss Do You Eat Healthy Foods But Do Not Exercise? Jun 29 2009

 As many have noted, "exercise" doesn't have to mean going to the gym.  It can mean walking to work/school/stores.  It can mean playing with kids.  It can mean household chores. 

I got active life , but i dont count that as exersice ,because its just my life,things that must be done (shopping/taking kids to the park/cleaning the house) . its just part of my daily routine.

By "exersice" i mean anything like fast walking/running/going to the gym/cycling/swiming or dvd workout. And i dont like any of these. When i said that i was going to start exersice after i lost weight,i even got a dvd Laughing its called "Total Fitness In 12 Minutes A Day For Women" ha ha . But its still sealed , i cant make myself do exersice even for 12 minutes a day . Thats how much i dont like to exersice.I would always find something more interesting to do.

Here in UK you get health visitors,who visit you at home,when you get back from hospital with newborn baby,and they continue to visit you until the child is 3 i think . They do check your childs height,weight,development . And if there are any problems they let you know that there is a problem ( for example the child is overweight) and tell you what to do to "fix" a problem .So i dont understand how parents can say they had no idea the child was overweight .

There have been a several of these posts recently ('guess my weight' 'Am I fat?' 'Should I keep losing'), and they're almost always by those you are at a healthy weight, or underweight.

 I call them " ATTENTION SEEKERS" ha ha Laughing

 I don't understand why people have to criticize this thread. If they don't like it then stay out? 

 Everyone has got the right to post ! Thats why these forums are here for ! You ask - you get answers.Everyone has got opinion . When you post questions you should be prepared to get positive AND negative replies . Maybe people should think about that before posting if they cant deal with negative replies .
