Well since I said it you must be getting at me, ask your Brotther in law if people on high doses of insulin could find weight gain.
Any competent GP will tell you that is the case,
Furthermore I as one who brought diabetes into this, never said ALL people overweight had diabetes.
I used it as one example of possibly being overweight.
There are other medical conditions that can cause weight gain too, medications can too.
I never said she was wrong either to say 'some' people overweight could sort themsleves out, I got at her for saying 'all' people overweight should.

Please don't twist others words to justify your own view,also maybe you would do well to read posts thoroughly before saying any other member is taking crap too,that is pretty insulting in itself..
