Weight loss is different for everyone

Weight loss, or even weight gain for that matter, occurs at different rates for different people.
Have you ever wondered why your friends or husband lose weight more quickly than you do? Or maybe why you lose weight quicker than older people?
Factors that may determine weight loss
Several factors, such as your starting weight, gender, as well as age will play a role in determining just how fast you may lose weight.
According to Dr Bray, a metabolism and obesity expert:
•    Older people lose weight more slowly than younger people, as they tend to have a slower metabolism
•    Since men use more energy, they lose more weight than women, who are of similar height and weight, when dieting
•    People who are extremely overweight lose weight more quickly than those who are only mildly overweight
Stay determined and committed
In addition, Dr Bray says that you should focus on your own goals and weight loss plan. Stay positive and get support from family and friends if necessary. Try not to compare your progress to that of others, as everyone’s bodies and lifestyles are different.
