The relatives on my moms side are all pretty wiry. I basically have a body that responds well to excercise but absolutely refuses to give up its protective layer of flab. I'm 5'9 and the last time I weighted myself I was 240 lbs. Basically I have the physique of a dwarf.It could be worse. I was about 300 lbs throughout high school and briefly got as high as 315. At the time I could eat an entire bag of Fritos in a sitting. I was pretty depressed back then and not very active.After high school I got a job as a stock boy in a mall and started working out regularly, about 45 minutes a day. I bottomed out somewhere around 210-220. Long story short, after about 5 years I eventually ended up climbing back up to 240 after I left work and started went back to college.I haven't weighed myself since I started working out again but I FEEL much better. I walk about 3 miles a day, to and from college (with a couple of train rides in between) and thanks to a collection of MST3K dvd's a friend gave me last year, I have motivation to excercise at home again. I doubt I've lost weight but I've gained some stamina and I think I've lost width.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
