Plus, women have hormone issues - the body wants to maintain fat more in order to bear children. Plus some women gain weight every month due to their cycle and even though it's water it doesn't necessarily come off as fast or easy as it comes on. Then there's menopause as you know Chris that adds its own difficulties to the mix. *Tell* me about it..... sigh..... all the same, oh, the bliss of being done with "all that"! Last I heard, men don't deal with this when trying to lose weight, but of course it *has* to be just as easy for women to lose weight and those who can't do it as quickly and easily must be doing something wrong. Naturally, especially where the dictatorial men on this group are concerned.... -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |

Hm, if one's weight goes up due to water retention, and then down, every month, does it make it harder to lose weight over the period of several months? It's not just water retention; it's to do with hormone fluctuation, etc. You may choose to disbelieve us, but that is your privilege. http://www.detnews.com/2003/health/0...d01-197825.htm -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |

Naturally, especially where the dictatorial men on this group are concerned.... I also find it amusing that a woman who lost, according to her, 155 lbs, or more than half of her body weight, in less than a year on a crash diet, is trying to be sarcastic here in regards to a question asking for evidence to support a claim that it is harder for women to lose weight than it is for men. i Gee, even you know that anyone can lose a large amount of weight when you only consume 800 cal/day, but I guess you forgot that - how convenient. The men in my HMR class actually lost faster than the women in the same period of time and we were all consuming a similar number of calories. Men have a higher BMR because by nature they generally have more muscle mass. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a study to figure out that it would simply lead to faster weight loss, it's a mathematical reality. I'd still love to see you wake up to 10 lbs of hormonally induced water weight overnight. That would definitely stop you from being so amused. Jenn |

Besides that, would a man with a 500 calorie per day deficit lose faster than a woman with a 500 calorie per day deficit? Given a man and a woman of equal height and build, probably yes, since the man is liable to have more muscle tissue and less fat for his weight than the woman is. -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |
