[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 7650592, member: 6696971"] Commitment to long-term behavioral regime is key here. The demographics of this board are composed (like myself) primarily of Westerners. Our societies have become so luxury driven and so extraordinarily sedentary as our collective technocracies have burgeoned such that our "hard choices" have morphed into "Downton Abbey or update my Facebook"...forget about "update my Facebook and eat fast food or steam these veggies and salt/pepper/sear this salmon." I have a staple saying that I use with most of my friends/acquaintances when any of our Western entitlement behaviors manifest; "I'm AMERICAN! And we get what we want and we WANT IT NOW!" In the last 25 years, we've undergone a complete step-change in the behavioral components, and cultural gateways, that undermine our physical fitness. There is hope, however. A 47 year old female friend of mine is much more ectomorph than mesomorph and she never had an athletic history. About a year ago she was weighing in at well over 2 bills (probably 220 lbs), at about 5'7" and change. We trained her relatively aggressively for about 8 months and still run with her and cross-fit now and again. She went from eating horribly to putting down the fork, backing away from the table, cutting her caloric intake by about 30 %, and primarily cooking most of her meals. She endured all of the multiple 2-month (or more), demoralizing (this is what gets people) plateaus and steep (but short) step changes/spikes that come with recalibrating your set point. She now is an extremely fit 135-40 lbs with clear eyes, healthy sleep patterns, a resting metabolism that dwarfs her prior one, and a completely committed relationship with staying strong, healthy and fit that is entirely of her own volition (for herself and for her partner). If someone such as that can master her worse impulses and change her life completely in a year then its within anyone's power to do so. Even better than that, my s.o. has hypothyroidism (0 % thyroid functionality) with an exceptionally rare, debilitating form of it called Hashimotos; people with her afflictions are almost universally multiple hundred pounds overweight and/or absolutely sedentary (and typically short-lived). She's a marathon runner and a strong, fit 125 lbs. Where there is a will, there is indeed a way. [/QUOTE]
