I didn't think anything that I said was that upsetting and I apologize for upsetting you. I don't think that I'm talking about you and I think that you've done a lot for you health. If we had an epidemic of people who were only 10 pounds overweight, we wouldn't be talking about this.

I don't think i ever said that the obesity problem has nothing to do with over consuming calories. In fact it has everything to do with it. But why are people over consuming? A person who is 40 years old and is 100 pounds overweight has eaten only 25 extra calories per day on average. What makes someone do this? Why do we store fat?

But if you and your wife have lost a lot of weight it sounds like you guys are doing a lot more than simply exercising more and eating less. You have been supplying your body with the kinds of food and exercise it needs to be healthy. You didn't simply take away food, or just add exercise.

I've been there. I could never maintain weight loss with the eat less/exercise more mantra, it took adding healthy activity and food.
