If you're going by bmi, then yes. But you should really go by what your doctor says..which is also yes.

As an example of what you would be capable of chipping off if you wanted to.

Yes. Like me, you hold it in your abdomen, which is unhealthy. We both need to lose it.

Yep it's bad , and comes back faster than one would think.

It's called visceral fat. It's not just wrapped around you like a belt, it's all around your organs on the inside, especially your liver.

It's very hard to get rid of, but responds well to exercise. Requires a long term diet and exercise regimen, but the health benefits are huge.

My general response to "should I lose weight" is "you can always just stop accumulating it".

#1 challenge is avoiding cravings. Obvious but true.

I'm finding that staying busy helps. When I'm idle, I think about the cravings.
Oh, and no sweets in the house.

I have been losing, but I don't recommend the diet...first...get gastritis....... Note: I DO NOT recommend this gastritis stuff to anyone........ but I needed to lose so I am not complaining

I'm the opposite (another thing that I don't belong to the mainstream).

It took me almost 6 months to add 5 lb weight. Since I don't eat anything that walk on the land or fly in the sky, I try to eat see bass (for $7, I can get 7 whole fishes in one package) and vegetable every day. I also eat unsalted roaster peanuts for snacks. I do want to add another 12 lb in the next 6 months if I can.

When I trained my Marathon, just in 2 months I could see my body started to shrink.

This is exactly my problem , i don't have a daily work routine , and the reason is because I am treating schizophrenia ( 8 years now ) . So i switched from working for a company to self-employement , mainly because I can't stand busy schedules and the stress that comes with it , and also all the complexities that this illness forced me to deal with.

So now I am trying to find a way to build a routine but with an amount of work that keeps me stress free .

I am currently in a hidden electronics repair work-bench inside a residence .

Do you think moving to another work shop/bench will solve my problem both financially and physically ?

None of us can tell you if it will solve any financial issues. And we can't say for sure if it'll solve physical issue (ie weight). But I think I can be pretty confident that it wont solve the physical part at least. If you'd be doing the same work somewhere else, there wouldn't be enough of a change in exercise to actually make a change there, and that also wouldn't address the eating habits.

Oh yeah, I'm self-employed, too. As a result, I always have something I could be doing.
(not to mention tidying the house and so on)
I try to be just busy enough to distract me from the idleness that encourages the cravings.

Sorry, not sure if moving your workspace would help you, either way.
I get it -- I've got my own issues, but not as serious as schizophrenia. What does your counsellor/doctor advise?

Well here is how my vicious cycle runs :

1 ) I need to work to get money to treat my schizophrenia , because our government doesn't give free meds or financial support for incapacity.

2-a) Even if i take medications to treat symptoms , there is these debilitating negative symptoms that take away some functions , and makes it almost impossible to stick to a work routine or even work in the long run.

2-b) My industrial electronics repair job is now almost dead with the manufacturing engineers doing their best to make unfixable devices , much like the smartphones and tablets.

3) So now am back to point 1 and this is where am stuck . I am confused about what job should I learn or try , in order to get things back up again.....
