My father-in-law says that all the time, and also that the percentage decreases as your age increases. This is something that has led to a lot of arguments in my house, so I don’t really like to bring it up. Basically, the problem is, I get served a meal that is too much for me and get told that I don’t have to eat it all, which often I don’t. That, in itself, is poor manners in Japan. When I try to decline the food at the point where I’m 80% full, I almost always get scolded. I’ll post some pictures of the dinners I get served. They’re huge. And my wife can eat seconds and thirds, so she can’t relate at all.

LOL. Good luck!
That’s where the documentation comes in. If I can show that even with regular exercise I don’t lose weight, I can convince her to change some of our dinner habits. Or some of mine anyway.
If you do some, even light, weight training, you may lose fat and gain muscle resulting in disappointing weight loss but loss of inches and improved appearance. Don’t forget to measure your waist or keep track of how your pants fit or how tightly you cinch your belt.
Yeah, I don’t mind having poor weight loss results if I can lose a few inches around my waist and regain some flexibility and range of motion, etc. That’s a good idea about taking weight measurements. I’ll have to pick up a tape measure.
