I am overweight...not obese. Always have been. I've known since I was 12 that if I ate like everyone else, I WOULD be obese.

Pretty much the same for me. I'm 6'2", 240 lbs. I recently followed the Weight Watchers points system and lost 30 lbs. What is interesting is that after I hit my goal weight and bumped up to my maintenance level of intake (1800-2000 calories), I started putting weigth back on - rapidly. What I have found over time is I can eat like a horse and stay at 240, but I have to stay below 1200 calories a day to stay even a pound below 240. My body at age 45 wants me to weigh 240 lbs.

You sound exactly like me size-wise. I'm 237....and I am going to 225 dammit!! I'd LOVE to be 210....but, I'd also like to sit backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion show....unfortunately, I don't think either will happen in this lifetime!!!
