Women and Weight

If you "stay in shape no matter what" I'm sure your friend feels intimidated to workout with you, especially if she isn't very fit. You may find however, that your friend HAS changed her eating habits, or is taking more stairs instead of lifts, or is exercising alone, but just hasn't mentioned it. Often, women are ashamed to admit they're trying to lose weight because they fear being judged for "failing". Equally, some women want to do it on their own, they don't want to say "oh I'm dieting" because then they can never have a cocktail, or cinema snacks, or anything else they feel bad about when they're out with you. A woman may diet at home but not tell her friends so she can have the occasional treat when out with them - after all, dieting 95% of the time is enough. Admittedly, some women just don't do anything about their weight. I'm not sure why. Because it's hard work maybe? The exercise thing is more understandable to me, it's hard to motivate yourself to exercise if you can only jog one street before you get tired or you're worrying how your bum jiggles or your heart is pounding from just walking up a flight of stairs.

I guess losing weight is like any other addiction, you have to really want to do it before you can commit yourself to doing it. People have to gear up and set their mind to do it. Sometimes it takes some people longer than others to achieve their goals.

She sounds just like myself. Always complaining of my being overweight but did not do anything except a 10 minutes floor exercises every morning which I believe would not do anything good than giving me a feeling of being fresh every day. I reduce y portion of foods every time I eat and my weight stays the same for a couple of years now. Maybe some people gen can never change and stay fat with only slightly encouragement... I don't know. I guess you are lucky to have a good figure and gen.

For me, it only means something , that she know she is fat so she doesn't have to be told that. She also isn't doing anything about it, because she has accepted being that already.

I know someone like this also and I don't understand it either. I work my butt off to stay the weight I am now. I have had 3 kids and I weigh 123lbs. I don't understand why they complain and don't do anything about it. It's like always complaining you cannot save money but yet you are always spending it. Well, duh you cannot save money like that. I agree with you on this one.

Staying fit and in shape is one of the obvious thing women look at especially after pregnency. After delivery women can gain weight slightly coz of irregular food intakes and irregular sleep. But gradually when they start regular excercise and incorporate proper food timings and sleep, that weight can be lost. Lack of metabolism, eating junks are the real ones to add weight. So rather than complaining about over weight try to eat right food and stay healthy.

My daughter loses her pregnancy weight without really trying, that is her metabolism. I lost weight easily and well in my thirties, but I am almost sixty, and the weight has crept back and seems not to budge. I am doing weight training three days a week, among other things. On the other hand I am on the computer too much. Some people will not even try because they are afraid of failing. Or it seems too hard and over whelming. I do know people who keep talking and take no action, and that is frustrating.

I have been overweight for my whole life, literally since I was about 10. I am 20 now, and am only just doing something about it despite complaining about it for the majority of my life. I have lost 4 stone now, and am only "overweight" rather than "obese", which is a great achievement for me. The thing that bothers me more than people who complain and don't do anything about it are the people who complain about being fat when, in reality, there isn't anything wrong with them, and if anything they should be trying to gain weight rather than lose it.

I think that with most people, weight is merely the symptom. Until, you go on a journey of self discovery and understand what is really making you want to stay fat, you will never solve the problem.

Good day AishaBR, With reference to what you have said, I guess, some women do feel uncomfortably to enroll in a gym because of their heavy weight though this place was also build for everybody. Perhaps, what they have in mind is that, they see more of people in their fitted weight rather than those with heavy weights. Aside from that, maybe they dont have that enough budget for a gym enrollment. And if you will just say that they can still do the exercise without enrolling into the gym, maybe they are hesitant to start the exercise since they dont have any idea on what will be the first step. Aside from that, perhaps they feel quite insecure to display in the areas wherein they can exercise because of their heavy weights. A lot of reasons, for some those reasons are quite small but to them who has a heavy weight, is quite a big deal for them. Due to those issues, they just end up in saying "maybe later" and will not stop complaining as they usually do.

I have never been one to complain about my weight. If I am lazy and don't work out or eat like crap, I know that the natural consequence is a few extra pounds. I do agree that people who complain about their weight, or how easy it is for me to stay thin, while not doing anything about their own weight bothers me. I am just now getting into a good exercise routine after 5 years of just doing whatever. After I had my baby, I nursed and that took the weight off for me. I have good genes and a good metabolism, I know that not all people do and I do feel for those who have to work harder at loosing weight, but not doing anything and whining is not acceptable either.

I'm not terribly in shape, but I recently went over 150 lbs for the first time in my life. Problem is, I'm only 5'2", so that really jacks up my BMI into the overweight range. I am not the kind of person to just let this go, so I just started a diet and exercise regime in the hopes of lowering my weight by about 25 lbs so that I can be in the normal weight range for my height. I used to complain about my weight more, because I gain easily, but I have decided it's time that I shape up my eating habits and try to live a healthier lifestyle.

ecess weight in women can be derived in various ways, but the best way is to exercise and reasonable diet.. As for tips that can be done by the mothers to re-lose weight is as follows: - Bre*stfeeding.

I suppose some people want everythng without having to put the work in as others like yourself know that to look good or get results you have to work for it. perhaops you need to tell her unless she is willing to do somethng about it not to talk and complain about it anymore, I am a very blunt person and often say this to friends when they complain and dont do anything I agree with you its just a waste of everyones time really

I am just like you in the sense that I am back down to my pre pregnancy weight. But like you said, I take time out to exercise and I eat healthy. Some women do these things too, but their metabolism isn't back to normal yet, or they were never in shape to begin with. But most are just lazy and eat chips and drink coke all day. I always have (fat) women ask me how I'm so small with a 4 month old, so I tell than I eat right and exercise. But one said I had to be bolimic or something cuz its not possible. This woman also had a buggy full of cookies and pizza rolls, so I didn't take offense to it. I guess were just some of the few who actually want to stay in shape.
