is it hard to loose weight but it's easy to become fat..

I would disagree with you. You can do everything just like you do now. You don't have to change your diet to lose weight. You have to INCREASE your activity. If you are not active of course you will gain weight.

This in not necessarily true for everybody. I know a number of people who has been trying to gain weight but are still as thin are a reed until now. They eat a lot and take a lot those 'fattening food' that we do our best to avoid but hola! They still remain thin as ever. I think it has to do with their metabolism no matter how much they eat.

My problem is the opposite. I am a stick, I dont eat healthy much and I dont exercise. I would like to put on a little bit of weight. Im sick of getting called annorexic when Im not. I hate going clothes shopping because I have to go to the kids section.

for me, Yes, hard to loose weight and easy to fat but for my wife, no. hard to become fat and easy to loose weight :)

LOL! I am at difficulty gaining weight!. I lose it easily than I can gain it. shouldn't we just exchange the characteristics. you lose weight and I gain, we will reach a balance. It's always important to participate in physical rigorous activity, your calories will burn at a rate you won't be expecting. it's better that this activity be a game otherwise you will get bored!!hahaha!then again you will gain.

yes it is very easy to gain weight than losing it. eat more and you will gain more weight but even you tried to avoid eating still you have a big weight...

task of yes inasmuch as mine hboyf it does not become thin. I instead do not fatten and not even that one is not easy, all depends on the metabolism

It doesn't apply to everyone, like me. I'm slim and eat as much as everyone does but would not get fat. It's a lot easier for me to lose weight. I could just skip a meal in a couple of days and I'll drop my weight. But even when I eat a lot of fatty foods, not exercise and get lot's of sleep, my weight will remain as is. I just couldn't get fat.

In my work I often help people with weight problem and what I've discovered, through my client's experiences is that we are all different and require different types of foods. And it is a way of eating that will sustain the correct weight for your height and build, , good health and vitality that needs to be found. Then it becomes not a diet that comes and goes, but a permanent way of eating. As a hypnotherpist, I also help others to accept themselves the way they are, for if they cannot do that, there will always be an element of self-deprecation that can lead to vicious circles of gaining and losing weight. Also there may be times when a person will slip up and eat incorrectly. He/she would then need to forgive himself/herself and not sit around feeling disappointed in himself/herself or an attitude of "well I failed now, so I might as well go back to eating anything" can manifest. The same with exercise. One needs to do it regularly, but on days when there's a feeling of "I can't be bothered" and it's not done, there needs to be forgiveness of self and the next day continue with it. I feel that it's better not to watch the scales or reflection in the mirror, but go on the way you feel. Some days one may feel bloated, accept that that's the way it is. Other days one may feel extremely slim and animated. Accept that too. The scales may something else though in both cases. I am of an age where my metabolism has slowed down, and total acceptance of this gives me peace of mind. I take exercise, and go to the gym for fitness and the way I feel. My family love me for who I am and my life has not been about seeking approval for a long time. I have a body, but I am not my body.. :-)

It's difficult to gain weight too.I'm very thin,i eat very much try to get fat.But although i eat so much,my weight seemed never increase.That's really a problem.Hehe.Besides,i eat much fats and fat meat once.It didn't help at all. Can you give me some advice on increasing my weight,my friend?Thanks.

The last two weeks have been HORRIBLE! It's been AF's visiting time and i've eaten so much chocolate that it's ridiculous! I've thrown my three weeks of hard work out the window. But i've decided to stop pigging out and start changing my eating habits, even with AF is in town. What works for me is cutting carbs and staying with lots of proteins, so that's what i'm starting. I lost weight even without exercising last time i really changed the way I ate. So now that i'm active I should lose more weight.

I don't think it's always right, sorry. To me, it's very difficult to become fat. I'm skinny, so I always want to gain some weight.

I don't know why, but sometimes even when I try to control my diet, i still cannot lose weight. But since last year, I just gave up. I eat what I wanna eat, and do things I that I enjoy doing. Now, I weight only 52 Kg, which is not too bad for a 162cm tall girl. So, be patient and accept yourself. Probably some majic will happen to you too.

yes, it's true of that.I ever lose weight in March last year.I went to the gymnasium for exercise, my weight is lower than before.My colleague said to me,I ook slim ,I was so happy.But after I came back from Taiwan in September,I gained more weight.I'm bored.

relatively i say, it is not easy to become fat or anything closer if you and i have no means to becoming one.. look at those under famine..not a good thing to point out but i guess that might give us the hint to see the importance of health.

Yeah I have learned that cutting back on fatty foods and soda and lowering your carbs will help you to lose weight and excersise. I need to get myself back on it myself.

Oh its true and I am an example of that LOL It is harder to lose weight and easy to put on. I am trying to cut down on foods and exercise and even though i was motivated at the start, I am so lacking motivation right now LOL. My goal is to lose another 40 pounds to get down to my ideal weight and hope to maintain it for as long as I can LOL. I have a wedding to go to in the Cook Islands i.e. Rarotonga so I don't want to be looking like a big slob on a tropical island, so I am trying to lose as much as I can before then.

This would highly reflect our lifestyle and the way we manage the food we eat. Of cousre if you want to maintain your weight you would really exert a lot of effeorts while in eating you dont exert any energy but enjoy the pleasures of it.

Oh, that's so true for me. Eating too much of my favourite chocolates would just add to my expanding girth. Especially if I don't exercise. The only way I can control my weight effectively is through a diet and exercise programme. This has to be strictly adhered to for maximum results. Having one without the other doesn't help me at all, unfortunately. I think it just gets worse as one ages.

Yep it is easy to pack on those pounds but very hard to get them off. If you want it bad enough and don't expect to lose it over night then its not too hard. I lost 15 lbs in 3 months just watching my calories and kept it off until I got pregnant. When I tried the Atkins diet I also lost 15 lbs but as soon as I took myself off the diet I gained it all back. We pretty much just changed the way we ate and it helped alot. We rarely have soft drinks. Its mostly when we go to eat at fast food places which is pretty rare now. We drink lots of water. We changed to low fat milk, mayo things like that. When we wanted something like chips instead of getting the whole bag we read the label and eat what we are allowed. That way if we wanted anymore we would have to get up and walk to get it. Alot of people make the mistake of taking the whole bag of chips and eating in front of the tv.
