I might be able to help explain how people can gain so much weight. I went on my first diet when I was 120 lbs...at 50 years old. I lost , then gained back to 125..next diet same thing gained to 130 lbs. I was on my last diet in 2005 started at 145 lbs...lost to 125 lbs, now back up to 155 pounds. I am really scared to start another diet, but sure would like to get weight under control. Just don't know how to do this. I am now 68 years old...At only 5'0" tall, don't want to go to 200 pounds by dieting. PS At 50 years old, I weighed only 118 pounds, but needed to gain 2 pounds since I had to lose at least 10 pounds to join weight watchers with my friends. Before that, I had never been overweight. Now I can gain weight eating half what I ate before ever dieting.
