What are your body goals?

Question

In college everyone says you gain the freshman 15lb well I lost it I was 145lb. I will not go back to that weight because of the I was stressed out and didn’t have access to food. I was really sick and homesick.  Currently I’m 170lb. I want to get down to 165 or 150 goal.  Why is it always seem easier for men to lose weight then women?

It's not easier for men to lose weight, it depends on the individual and their genetics, but men tend to build muscle far easier than women. Years of adaptation and evolution in our ancestry. Women might catch up in a few generations though. As for losing weight, again depends on the person. Some people just need to exercise, some need to change their diet and eating habits, others need to do a combination of both. Take me for example, I tend to be a little underweight by about 5-10 lbs. I have trouble building muscle due to my body type and genetics. I can't just work out or lift weights. I need resistance to get results, yes their weights, but I'm not lifting, I'm using wrist and ankle weights, and that seems to do the trick. There is no such thing as one size fits all, you have to tailor your health habits to what your body needs, according to your biology, and it will change over time. Nothing happens overnight, it takes time. You have to keep with it, endure it, it'll feel like death in the beginning, but later it'll feel much, much better than what you started with. As for my own goals, I just want to get into shape, but I can't stay healthy long enough to do it... Message me if you want a way to learn what your body needs to reach your goals.

To be fit, healthy, and happy with my body.

I've already lost quite a bit of weight (over 70 pounds), and in decent shape. But I would like to lose another 10-15 pounds, along with doing more strength training so I can have a long, lean athletic figure.

The issue is trying to lose weight while maintaining muscle, AND not eating too many calories. Because I like to eat, lol

I don’t have a weight goal anymore but I want to reduce body fat percentage and inches and last longer in between meals so I can survive on less food.

I want to get to 30 BMI with very little body fat, like Mike Tyson in his prime! :-D Currently I can't get far beyond 26 BMI without getting a belly.

>> Why is it always seem easier for men to lose weight then women?

We have physiological reasons that make it easier like higher testosterone and we don't have to deal with menstruation which impacts our food cravings and ability to train.

Yet something I think women can benefit from that can help a lot is that we guys also tend to focus on more intense activities. Most of us don't routinely do light motions resisting less than 50% of our 1-rep max. We progressively overload with the goal of lifting heavier. Many of us when we run don't just do it routinely and just to lose weight. We do it in a disciplined way that progressively overloads a training variable like speed or distance so that we can get faster and faster or build more and more endurance.

And many of us are concerned with function and not just looks, so many of us don't get tempted to do very unhealthy and counter-productive things for the long run like going on extreme hypocaloric deficits.

The thing is that when it comes to body goals, sometimes people just aren't satisfied for long, like you may achieve your idea of a perfect body, but then your idea of perfect may change and you won't be satisfied until you achieve that and it just goes on and on.

For me though, taking the above into consideration and purely on the aesthetic, I mostly want to get rid of my scapula winging (it's when your shoulder blades stick out at the back), get some more definition in the ab area and maybe a bit more muscle mass.

I still like what I see in the mirror though, especially if I groom my body hair.

Personally, I’m aiming for being thin. Not rail thin, but thin. For my height and everything, I think 150 - 165 is a good place. If there’s a bit of fat, that’s fine, so long as I’m healthy, and I look decent without my shirt on. A place where I get used to it without obsessing, something I can do the whole year. If it’s fun, that’s a big plus. Something where I can travel and still work out without too much hassle.

I just eat healthy to maintain good health. My weight usually stays the same. I'm not skinny but I'm not fat either

I think biologically women aren't meant to lose of lot of weight, you know with pregnancy and all. Men can just lose weight by lifting weights and dietary changes.
