i am overweight?

it seems you just have a low metabolism, big deal, just excercise a bit more at the gym as stated
as for me, I;'m lucky, no matter how much crap I eat my metab keeps up (well for my age right now 17 1/2) anyways I try and gain weight constantly and I lose it somehow. Though, when walking home (since I live close) I walk 3 miles with a 25lb backpack every day monday-friday. So I guess I'm not suprised. Just excercise more is the point and be happy with your body figure

you are right that ghrelin is produced in the stomach however the problem is not this, the problem is that people dont listen to it, also people often mistake thirst for hunger and eat instead of drinking enough fluid

losing weight is easy, putting weight on is easy, it is a gradual process and when understood and backed with a little willpower you can achieve anyhting with your body

so long as you are using more calories than you are taking in, you will lose weight.

Yeah, with some willpower it isnt difficult to loose weight, agreed. But if you ARE loosing weight (diet), ppl get stronger and stronger signals from the stomach, which is hard to resist. However, sporting (to loose calories) is for really fat ppl a hard job, because their bones cant have that weight, and thus they get in a vicious circle where they can barely come out.

Fatness is getting a real problem in the world, especially america, but europe is getting fatter too. Ppl are lazy ^^,

PS: 21? And already a static job?

give us ur feet/ inches or if 1.72 is ur feet and inches ud prolly be the shortest person in the world, but Im 5'11 15 160

Hehe, what this forum needs is an automatic calculator for lengths and weights. So with tags you say the value is in meters and if you (english man or other country where they use inches/feets) would see the post you would see it in inches/feets.

If he'd posted it in feet/inches I wouldn't know how tall he'd be loller.

FYI: 1.72 meters is 68 inches and 5.64 feet. metric conversions - online conversion calculators, charts and metric formulas

Lol, than why do you actually agree with me? ^^,

No education? I go to the university next year and I read all interesting/scientifical magazines. I choose too many subjects so the one who makes lesson schedules makes a unique one for me and a few others, and I get pretty high marks...I DO get education mate.

And why do you reply sort of angry and swear anyways? :(
