Yes, it can be in your jeans. But it doesn't mean you can't loose the weight.

I think that's a load of crap. Some people have medical problems that make it harder for them to keep a healthy weight, but how much you eat, what you eat, and what you do during the day all effect your weight. Also if you come from a family of overweight or obese family members, chances are you will follow in their footsteps because they will teach you their eating habits and how much you sit on your butt, not genetics. I think that is another excuse oversensitive people make up.
