Okay. Duh. But my point is, are you aware of the finer workings of the metabolism? If ANYONE starts on a reduced calorie diet, their metabolism tends to hault. Some people more so than others have it occur. Not everyone loses weight. At the very least, some people don't keep it off. The weight's not the problem anyway.
Fat's necessary in the human body. As far as fat people always being unhealthy, not true. If we're defining healthy as able to run a marathon with decent blood pressure and LOW cholesterol, as well as work in a physically demanding field (police officer), my own brother fits that bill. (He's 6' and was 250 or so when he ran the marathon. He's about 240 or so now, and definately a "hefty boy.")
Fat does not necessary mean unhealthy. (Click for the link. I'm not pulling this out of my ass.)
Edit: You also didn't address my question about fat athletes. I answered my own question. That's fine. Dodging questions is fine.
