Before I went to bootcamp they sent me to FTC(fat camp) basically, all you do all day there is work out. I was there for 3 weeks and I did not lose any weight. However my pushups, situps, and running greatly improved so they sent me on to bootcamp. When I graduated from boot I was bigger than ever. I had not lost a single pound, and the clothes I wore there would not fit. My jeans would not even go over my thighs. And I wasnt sitting around eating junk, yes it buffet style, but I had white rice and fish almost everynight.
Some people are naturally larger than others, we are not all petite 5 ft 2, and a 120 lbs. Why shouldnt there be different sized machines?

Have you ever counted the calories you eat vrs the estimated calories you burn? I hate to sound harsh but no one violates the laws of physics, and if your intake is less than your output you will lose weight. Some people have it easier, some are different body types, but only to a degree. I'm 6'1" and know that eating more than 2000 calories a day will start to put weight on me if I'm not working out.
