My sister and i used to weight 227 pounds we both exercise in the same gym on same hour and exercise on the same time but my sister exercise more faster and harder then myself but i only exercise for 15 mins but my sister who weighted 227 lost only 10 pounds in 2 months and i lost 25 pounds in 2 months and she worked for a full hour each day.

    it’s easier for men to burn fat. Women are made so that their fat body percentage is larger than men’s – they need it to carry a baby. Muscle burn fat. The more muslced you are, the more you burn, even without working out. Though you weighted the same, your sister had more fat percentage, in her body, you have more muscles – so, you lose more.

    Being a man, you have more testosterone than your sister. You should have higher metabolism than she does. That is why man grows muscles when they work out with weights and woman usually don’t.
    But there is another reason, also hormonal, does she have low thyroid activity? I am a man, I have low thyroid activity, so I also do not lose weight as fast either. Check with the doctor. Another thing is that you did not mention diet, don’t know if your sister is eating more than you or not.

    because when men set their mind to something they get it done. Women are too busy filling their silly little small brains with Cosmo and jewelery and recipes for cooking men dinner.

    Guys have more muscle than women, making their metabolisms higher (generally) and thus they are able to burn calories while they are not working out. Also, your sister may eat more calories than you or not cut as many proportionally to her size and such.
    She may also be exercising too much and not eating enough calories which will slow her metabolism even more because of the body’s starvation defense mechanisms.
    Another reason you may lose weight faster is because of guy’s idea of losing weight. Women tend to label foods as good and bad and deprive themselves. This only leads to bingeing in moments of weakness. Guys somehow rationalize dieting and know that they need to cut back on the stuff that made them gain weight to begin with. It may not seem like such a grand realization to men, but women sometimes just can’t wrap their heads around it. Food is usually more than just nourishment for women. It’s comfort and a friend while being an enemy at the same time.
    As long as both of you can keep the weight off it doesn’t matter how fast you do it. Potentially frustrating, but keep up the good work!
