Belinda and her husband, alan, are both 40 pounds overweight. they decide to change their lifestyle, increasing the amount of exercise they do and reducing their calorie intake by 20 percent. they both lost the 40 pounds, but three years later, alan has put all of the weight back on while belinda has regained only 15 pounds. what is the most likely explanation?

The correct answer is that "Alan has a set point closer to his original weight".

A set point in weight refers to the weight in one's body, in which the body would be more likely to stay in and the body favors. Like in the given situation, Belinda and Alan both lost weight, yet Alan retained the 40 pounds he has lost after three years because of his weight's set point.

Bis the correct answer.

This is s cute awee : (( . well if she's showing you signs that she may like you , then shoot your shot ! don't be afraid . & if you're unsure that she's giving you these signs , then wait out for a little bit . most girls are different . some may act really sweet , but only bc you're a good friend of hers . that , or she might like you . you just never know . but i think you should sit down with her & tell her how you feel . but don't be awkward & shy . just be straight up & tell her how you feel . if the feelings aren't mutual , then don't cry about it . you need to respect her decision & look for others in the world . feelings can be difficult & confusing , but don't be afraid to show them . i say you play it out & if you're still unsure about it , talk to her . - rach
