That's a shame. What does "laying it down" mean?

As such you will find it more difficult to get fit in adult life if you're a fat kid. Funnily enough if something's hard to do less people will be inclined to do it which in turn makes it harder to get fit.

If your muscles etc are under developed then surely they take more energy to use and therefore less movement is required to use the same amount of energy so your muscles work harder and you lose more weight for the same amount of exercise. It's easier for fat people to lose weight than thin people.
