There are MANY people out there who can not lose weight due to certain disorders or illnesses. There was this women on TV who gained weight no matter how small or healthy she ate. Her body just didn't allow her to shed any pounds.

64- If that were the case, she'd have almost certainly put it in the FML, as it would be a huge reason why her life sucked. Also her name probably wouldn't have anything to do with Orange soda...

I wasn't exactly suggesting that OP had a disorder. I wanted to point out that there are many poor girls out there that are incapable of just "exercising/working out" to lose weight.

And they are a tiny percentage who represent the rare exception to the rule. The vast majority of the population could drastically change their lot in life by switching soda for water, chips for apples, and bicycles for cars (within reason.) Everyone has a choice between the healthy and unhealthy alternative, and honestly assuming OP doesn't have a horrible, dehabilitating condition stopping her from participating in normal, healthy activities, she should be able to cut the shit and spend as much energy and work as hard to get rid of the weight as she is to hide it and herself for having it.

i cant lose weight no matter what i eat & its really hard to deal with it. i know plenty of girls who can not just "simply" eat healthy & run their asses off. there is no low percentage of anything, the point is that people think its easy for everyone when it isnt & they dont know jackshit about how it feels to not be able to lose anything.. :/

@116 To be fair, not everyone can afford to eat healthy. Eating healthy costs significantly more than eating junk. Sad but true.

God if I have to hear that again, I'm going to kill myself. Obesity didn't become an American epidemic because people suddenly all started developing health problems that prevent them from losing weight, it happened because we made high fat diets and lack of exercise our status quo. The fact that it is true that there are a very minute percentage of people who can't lose weight because of extenuating health reasons has become a really lame excuse for those who don't have those conditions and are just too frigging lazy to exercise.

there are many people out there who would loose weight if only they put the cheezburger down. no food in = no lbs on. no matter the chemistry/physiology. where else does the weight come from??

I like you. Let's be friends.

Do you REALLY want to give this girl access to a device which can injure your ribs and hinder development when improperly used? She's clearly not intelligent in thinking through consequences.

I'm gonna assume they voted ops life sucks based purely on level of intelligence...
