You can gian and lose but you will return to that set point...unless you change the point. This is hard to do. In fact, some people can't and so if they want to lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off they have to be on guard for the rest of their lives. Shroom, what you were saying about teh way people are built...I float around near the upper limit of the weight/BMI range for my height. People think I'm twenty pounds lighter than I actually am. If I start getting down into the more ideal zone, I look like I'm dying of some weird wasting disease. And if I get too far away from where my body likes to be, either too heavy or too light, other weird shit starts happening to me. I dropped some pounds during the whole write-up and defend thing and it hasn't really come back and as a result I've been having a hard time staying warm. The worst part is some of what I lost was actually muscle mass and getting that back isn't fun at all. [/QB][/QUOTE]
