Body weight and size are individually determined not only by eating habit choices but by genetics and metabolism.

Exercise is the key, thirty months ago I went back to the weight room shortly before my sixty third birthday. I was more than sixty pounds over the maximum weight recommended for my height. After thirty months of hard lifting and cardio work I can wear all the jeans and dress slacks that were hanging in the closet for years because I was too big around the middle to wear them. I gave away two suits, a blazer and a lot of shirts because a size forty eight coat is too small for me now. What do I weigh? About five pounds MORE than when I started.
My experience is a little different. I’m 3 years younger. In March of 2008, I weighed 206. I’m 5’9” so that qualifies as Obese. I began dieting and exercising and today I weigh 173 and have 10.3% body fat. My waist has gone from 37” to 32 1/2” and I now wear a 40 Regular suit instead of a 44 regular. I have much more energy and stamina.
