In an effort to make food in schools healthier, some school districts have actually banned cupcakes at school birthday celebrations.

I listed exactly my weight gain over the years. 150 pounds was not a comfortable weight for me and don't think losing 30 pounds was alot.

Yes, when the day comes that *losing weight* and *maintaing weight* are exactly the same thing, then you just might be right.


Until then, why don't you admit you're wrong?

So, in your own mind, you must have had a problem with your weight when you were 150 lbs.

"I" had the problem with my weight. When I went to the dr., they were fine with it. I was not "overweight" in any sense but I just did not feel comfortable having a stomach and lovehandles.

Why do you disagree? Why do you think there would be an age where exercise would stop being helpful to weight loss. That idea goes against everything scientists know about metabolism so I'm wondering where you got the idea. It can't be anything you read since there ISN'T anything (maybe an internet crank site?) to support that idea. If it's something you just made up, there must be an anecdote or two that brought you to this odd conclusion.

I guess it's time to say, "Different strokes."


To me, 30 lbs is a lot.

Well being 120-125 lbs. graduating h.s. and then only being 10 pounds more, 19 years later, I would have to say, yes, I never really had a weight problem. I was never overweight but I know where I want to be to feel my best.

30 lbs was 20% of your former body weight, which is hugely significant by any standard you want to apply to it. Weight watchers, the group you claim membership in, makes a huge deal of a loss of 10% of one's starting weight. A huge, huge deal. They would never have permitted you to join if you were not considered overweight; that's one of their rules for joining.

Whether you can bring yourself to admit you were overweight by 30 lbs or not, the facts remain that Weight watchers certainly considered you overweight--it's sort of a requirement for joining.

Granted there are those who continue to belong after they achieve goal weight, even if they're maintaining goal weight. But you can't BEGIN a membership there without being overweight.
