I know exactly what you mean.

Ain't easy for me.

I'm getting tired of this "poor women, lucky men" thing going on. What a crock of shit.

Don't judge a person's life until you've walked a mile in their shoes; or,

Don't assume men are as blessed as you say until you've been one. Vice-Versa too, obviously.

True.

FYI as well, in order to lose weight, three things must happen:

First, a healthier diet. Good start.

Second, more frequent eating intervals. This will speed up your metabolism.

Third, regular exercise and muscle training, and sufficient protein to build your muscles will boost your metabolism even further. However, in the beginning, muscle tissue merely replaces the fat tissue, so you don't see weight instantly lost. But, keeping it up will ensure a healthy level of weight loss over time.

happy dieting!

PS (I used to work at a health club. The P.T.s always lectured me on this stuff )

Physically, men are generally (not always) able to lose weight because they tend to have less body fat. (Women store body fat because we get pregnant) Women's metabolisms are slower, too--we don't burn as many calories.

Yeah cuz you know we women get water weight gain and all that stuff, that counts 2 , I hate it when it comes 2 that time of the month, because I feel like I gained about 20 lbs, I wouldn't dare try on clothes during that time, but then like after all the pms I'm okay and I'm back 2 my regular size again

Drink Tons of Water. You'll lose weight even if it does mean more bathroom visits. Try to fast every once and awhile also and fruits and vegtables.

It's fair to me.

You are being sexist again, Paisley.

I have a male friend who was fat and he had a hard time losing weight, just as much as anybody else. I am proud of him for succeeding.

I'am not being sexist, I never mean to come across that way.

If your not happy with your body then do something. If you happy with your body then do nothing. You must be happy with you.

Thank you for the advice! That is exactly what I am doin!

It's a muscle thing.
We have them.
But we also have hair in our buttcracks. You chose.

Okay, but then try phrasing yourself differently in order to not come across that way. Don't state something as a fact, but say "it is my impression that it is easier for men than women."

It makes the world of a difference. See?
