> Maybe that’s why 85-90 percent of participants regain their original weight, Weight is party fixed by epigenetic by end of puberty. It depends on how you mother did eat before and when she was pregnant (e.g. Dutch hunter winter children), and how you diet was when you was young. The highest likelyhood of being fat is if you are from a foreign family that lived healthy but on low calories, and moved to a country where lots of cheap fast food is available. Women have a good chance to change weight everytime they are pregnant, and at the menopause. Unfortunately most women will gain weight at that point. Men do not have those easy opportunities at times of hormonal changes. So if one loses weight by hunger, the body will bounce back to its epigenetic fixed weight again, once you stop being hungry. So lets accept weight, and focus on fitness for fun itself. Imho, the best sport for fat people is sailing. Every crew needs fat sailors as self loading ballast at the rail. Sailing is sport that is fun, even for the heavy weight.Its a sport that does not give you the painful feeling of being a loser, but its fun to be an important member of a crew. You think you just sit there, and move your ass once every tack or jibe, but in fact you move all the time constantly balancing against the rolling of the boat. You burn a lot of calories that way. You get a positive feedback, and time by time you become fit, even if you only lose a few pounds fat and gain a few pounds muscles. I do not have a overweight problem myself, even vice versa. I'm 5'10"/178cm with 120lbs/54kg in summer, and 128lbs/58kg in winter. But I have a neighbor, who did lose 15kg/30lbs just by sailing, and by getting in a positive fitness loop. She moves more now, e.g. shopping by walking instead of shopping by car, as she is able to move without burden. She still weights 30kg/60lbs more then me, but thats ok. She is fit, even if she is still a bit round, because the rounds are now at the right places. She does no longer look like an ugly fat women mid 40s, but like a chubby smiling woman who is happy with her body. PS: You do not need to own a boat to become a sailor. Most boat owners are searching for crew. Owning a boat is an other can of worms, its a commitment to maintenance and club work.
