@indigo I tend to the heavy side (and come from a long line of big people), but if I watch what I eat like a hawk (which isn't really sustainable in the long term, to be honest) I can lose weight to a certain point, at which point it just doesn't come off anymore. A few years back I dropped 80 lbs. I was still overweight, and despite paying strict attention to diet and regular exercise including cardio, my weight loss stopped completely. Once I relaxed a bit, the weight came back.
The simple fact is that I'm never going to look like a Greek god or fall within the traditional guidelines for weight vs. height. As long as I keep my glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure in check with normal medication, and my diabetes doesn't get worse, I'll consider that a win. It ain't fair, but neither is life. I have successfully become older than my father ever got to be, so I'm calling that a good sign.
