Do heavier people lose weight faster than lighter people? -

We re trying to figure out the fairest way to judge our weight loss challenge -- number of pounds lost, or percentage of body weight.

Actually they do. Imagine it this way...130 pounds running... you are carrying 130 as weight....300 pounds running,,, You are carrying 300 pounds...So basically the 130 pound person is carrying an extra 5-10 pounds of weightwhile the 300 pound person is carrying 175 extra pounds.Pure physics And they sweat more so they lose more.If you are racing someone in weightloss it would be the .... Percentage of body weight.

yes

?f you ask the quantity of weigt yeah at first but if when we talk about the proportion of the lost weigth accordin to their bodies nop ? guess

NO! That is a total misconception. Lighter people on average have a faster metabolism and can lose weight faster than their heavier counterparts.

Everybody loses weight differently - weight is not the only determining factor.I think the most fair way is to come to an agreement on what weight both of you are going to try and reach. Have a time frame that is challenging yet safe. If you re 200 and the other is 500., say the one will try to reach 160 and the other will try and reach 420. Pick attainable goals.. realistic ones.The challenge is not how much weight.. but should be watching what you eat (not more than 1/3 fat content.. some sorts of percentage figures.. not grams etc. . since the one person probably eats more than the other.. you couldn t say no more than 30 grams of something for both of you.)Also include the hours you will spend at the gym or other. If either of you cheat you re disqualified. Also include how much each of you will take in in calories. Keep record of EVERYTHING you eat.. and don t lie to yourself or your partner.If both of you have not cheated in the time frame alloted.. two or three months, go out to dinner at a healthy restaurant. If one person met the goal and the other didn t, the person that didn t has to buy ! It s also good to set mid-way goals.

Yes, because when a heavy person starts a diet, they lose a lotta weight because at the beginning they get rid of a lotta liquid they have in their body. That s why they look thinner faster than a lighter person.

Yes. Heavier people will lose weight faster than lighter people because they have more to lose. The fairest way to determine the contestant winner is by % of weight lost.

Yes, you tend to lose more if you weigh more, but that is just in the beginning. The fairest way to do it is percentage of body weight.

yeah

Yes, heavier people will lose weight faster because they have more to lose and the first 10 lbs. or so will be water, making their weight loss that much more.Have a lovely rest of the day.

Heavier people only lose weight faster because they have more to lose. Like if you are 10 lbs overweight you will lose it slower because you are closer to your ideal weight than a person who is, say, 200 lbs over their ideal weight.

they lose water weight, not fat at first thats why it seems like they lose so much
