why is it that some people can eat whtever they want and NOT exercise?
and they maintain and sometimes even lose weight?? But I have to exercise and have to diet and it still feels like forever before I see results?
ugh anyway just wish I had a faster metabolism or the luck to eat whatever I want and not gain weight

I was thinking about this, and while they look good, they are not really "healthy". You are supposed to eat a lot of vegetables and fruit, and exercise daily. This is what you body actually wants. So these people might be thin, but they probably aren't fit. KWIM? This is how I make myself feel better since I am not one of those lucky people

Plain and simple. They have a high metabolism and maybe don't eat as much as you think. DH is 5'8 and weights 132 lbs. If you see him eat dinner you'd think he should be 170 lbs, but he's on his feet all day (a band teacher) and barely eats anything all day (a bowl of cereal for breakfast and a ham sandwich with a small bag of baked lays for lunch), that is until dinner. He pigs out at dinner and then never eats again until breakfast the next morning. No snacking. Nothing. Oh, and his mom is also super skinny.

I hear that! I gained 7 lbs since Christmas! I've lost 2 since starting my diet this week, but it's still so disappointing. All that progress down the drain.

I agree with Beth! I would rather be HEALTHY and have to work for it! Being skinny doesn't necessarily always mean good health.
Anything worth having is worth working hard for...

Good genes... I know so many people like that... unfortunately I have never been one of them. It's very frustrating but like many have said, being skinny does not always equal being healthy.

I honestly used to be "one of those" people~ I could eat whtever whenever, and still be a sixe 2-4, but since the baby ( i am a size 12), it is impossible now. I need to loose 35 lbs still. I am 1/2 way (and I stress 1/2 way) hoping that IF I ever get pregnant agin I will have morning sickness this time around

My sister is that way (guess we don't share that gene!).
All she eats is junk, and she's a Size 0. However, to be fair, she only ever eats about 1/3 of what is on her plate. She gets full so fast. So while it looks like she eats whatever she wants and never gains weight, in reality she only ever nibbles, even for dinner.
