Fat people why are you fat? You can do it.?
Being 'fat' is a consequence of intaking significantly more calories than your body uses. Period. True, some people do metabolize energy faster than others, but to call this imbalance in metabolic rates a 'medical excuse' is laughably absurd. If a person realizes that weight gain is occurring beyond what they wish, then they have two easy, scientifically proven solutions. First, decrease caloric intake and second, increase physical activity.
Seriously it's getting ridiulous, and before I get some of these stupid answers let me allready respond to the typical response
"We Don't have the time": Well then eat less.... its not that hard
"Healthy food is expensive": you can lose weight eating only big macs for the rest of your life. Its all about calories
"I Have a family history of obesity" : Well so Do I, and I was obese, but now im 8% body fat at 200 at 5'9. Plain and simple, im ripped now, yet I weighed around 50 pds more than i do now 5 years ago in 7th grade, but you know what, I made a commitment to change myself and you can too.
Seriously guys, enough of the excuses. Get your Butt off YA! and into the gym, seriosuly stop complaining, chances are your not more prone to keeping weight than anyone else

People will say that it's because they have an overactive thyroid or it's genetics. While that is true it's true for like 1percent of the population. Also some people get depressed and are stressed etc.
I would never make fun of someone or judge someone because they're fat though.
I agree with you though mostly all overweight people can lose the weight if they just exercise and eat healthy. But they are lazy. This answer isn't politically correct so it'll probably gets a lot of thumbs down, but it's true. Most fat people are lazy and don't feel like exercising.
I saw on tv once that this fat kid complaining that he couldn't lose weight no matter what he tried. he was only 17 years old and never even attempted an effective exercise regime before opting for gastric bypass surgery. So the day after he gets gastric bypass he goes home and his family is eating pizza and soda, and sitting on the couch. For most people they are just lazy

Save this question for around 10 years and answer it yourself when you are 27 years old...
By experience I tell you that when you are in high school, you can easily lose weight because all you do is up and down, hangout, and whatever. Once you are an adult, have a family, job, responsabilities, u can easlily get depressed and let yourself go.
All my family is fat and I have a thyroid condition so I can tell you it is very hard for me to keep in shape, but I do understand your point that everybody that have time, eats healthy, diet and have good motivation can reach the goal and lose some pounds.

"fattness" mainly comes from laziness, or a mental suffering of depression, some people are fit one day, and the next day, ( for example) they lose there house or there family, and the Only thing to do is eat over depression, that's what makes you fat. i used to be huge back in the day but form Research of why being fat, and how to lose it i am now a healthy FIT athlete in high school, that keeps working out to become better, and yes i had depression problems when i was young, i was a loner, nothing to do but eat,

not everyone is obsessed about the way they look. a lot of people are happy with their body, despite the fact that they are not ripped. yah maybe its not extremely healthy to be overweight, but everyone has the right to his or her own choices.
and a lot of people have addictions to food. just like people are addicted to excersize, or addicted to smoking. its not easy to get over, and alot of people just don't have the knowledge or resources to get over their addictions.
and also, not everyone knows about counting calories and what kind of foods are high in fats and calories and sugars.
