hey guys..i was just wondering, do you have to be overweight to lose weight quickly?
Reply from Marina, Age 16 - 08/08/04 - IP#: 24.215.12.xxx People who are overweight will lose weight faster then a smaller person. This is because they will burn more calories doing the same activity as you.
Reply from MissyK, Age 18 - 08/08/04 - IP#: 24.84.212.xxx Yes, if you're heavier you can lose weight faster. The reason for this is that a heavier person burns more calories doing the same activity as a lighter person. But nevertheless, 3500 calories is in a pound, so as long as both people manage to burn that amount, they'll lose the weight. The thing is, it'll take more work for the lighter person. ~~MissyK~~
