  1. Her gut isn't quite on Corden's level, but it's fairly impressive at times:
  2. If you cut your calories slightly and slightly increase your level of activity, you will lose weight. People may struggle to do this for any number of reasons, some of which you've listed (perhaps they're taking an antidepressant that causes an increase in appetite, perhaps they are dramatically overestimating how many calories they burn (extremely common) and underestimating how many they eat (also very common), perhaps they're surrounded by people who undermine their efforts, or perhaps they've been eating a certain diet their entire lives and are continuing to do so out of inertia. Whatever the case, the fact is that if you follow this advice, weight loss is an inevitability. It isn't easy (for the reasons you mentioned and others), but it's possible. I have no problem with people who want to be fat and are happy being fat, but there is misinformation in your posts that others have spread to you that you are now propagating. This misinformation is becoming more common, and it is damaging to those who aren't happy with their body size or composition. For example, you mention slow metabolism a lot, yet the difference in metabolism between most people (2 standard deviations, so 95% of a population) of the same height and weight is within ~600 calories. 68% of a population of the same height and weight has a BMR within 200 calories of each other. So as I said in my previous post, if you don't have a serious medical condition or disability, weight loss is possible if you slightly reduce your caloric intake over an extended period of time. Once you stop losing weight, you drop it again, and so on. We should spread information that allows people to achieve their goals instead of making it sound like losing weight or changing habits is a near-impossible proposition, or as you say "near insurmountable." I am curious what physiological reason there is that makes losing weight more difficult for women than men. I am also curious why being in good athletic condition makes it easier to lose weight (yes, you can exercise more, but then your appetite increases, and a 30 minute jog or weight lifting session burns fewer calories than a cupcake).
  3. As much as I agree with you that getting into phenomenal shape is a full time job, I disagree with you that there's luck involved with losing weight. You also don't need to make large sacrifices, you just need to reduce your caloric intake by several hundred calories a day and maybe start doing some mild exercise. It's simple, but as someone else in this thread said, not easy. If you're a fat adult with normal intelligence and no disabilities, you can control your weight. The "context" just amounts to excuses. Again, getting into excellent shape, both athletically and aesthetically (if we're using the mainstream ideal of aesthetics... obviously we prefer thicker women), does require a large and sustained effort, but merely losing weight and keeping it off is not an ordeal; it's doable! You can spend hours posting these excuses to your tumblr and complaining about shitlord fat-shamers -- college weight gain, work-related stress, slow metabolism, kids, etc travel, uneven hours, and high stress jobs -- or you can spend some of that time tracking your calories and taking short walks.
  4. Actually, a lot of people just starting out lose a ton of weight immediately. It's mostly water weight.
  5. Talking about her weight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9nAJ1xNLms hahah, well apparently all of the related youtube videos have her speaking about her weight too. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wllw315bVL4
