No, I don't think that's true . . . I think a lot of people have a fat "gene" that's really just bad eating habits they grow up with. I mean, eat enough and make it healthy, but don't overdo it. Good night!

I was mildly overweight about a year ago (162 lbs at 5'6) and since then I've lost about 30 lbs. Don't blame your chunkiness on a 'fat gene' - it just leads people to believe that they'll never be healthy, and therefore all reason to exercise and eat right is gone. It's a myth. In some people that have thyroid problems or something of that sort, it may be true, but for 99% of the population, it's a mind over matter thing.
Everyone has a body shape, usually one they inherit. Mine is one where all my fat collects on my thighs and butt, and I'm kind of stumpy. Hardly anyone is built like a supermodel. But almost everyone can be healthy and 'skinny' within their body type - bone skinny, you kind of need to have a small frame. So it's not healthy to try to be that skinny if you're not built for it.

I you work hard (I mean diet and exercise(and by diet I mean EATING RIGHT!)) you should be able to loss the weight...and gain things like muscles...if that's what you want...if you really are serious I would go talk to your doctor or a personal trainer about getting on track... I am saying this from the point of view of a "chunky" person...my goal is to slim down...i haven't been working out but trying to eat better and I have seen some good results.

My family (on both sides) have always a weight problem. All you can do is watch what you eat, get some exercise and do the best you can to fight those fat cells from taking over your body like it has your family.
I finally joined a weight loss program and am working like crazy to loose the 45lbs that I have carried for most of my 46yrs. It feels impossible but maybe this time I can not only do it but keep it off!!
You can to!!!
