I have hovering around 75-77. But all of a sudden it has shot up to 82Kg now. It's an all time high. And that's when I decided not to touch fatty food & sweets. But like our mates said above, I'm really not in diet but on seefood. I eat wildly when something is open in front of the eyes. In particular after a week long strict diet. Gary Wheeler & Carlo have been real inspirations to for they do long runs consistently.
I was running for a week, but the work at late evening for the next few weeks put this routine off the line.
I started feeling like a real potato and to add to the injury, I eat up a lot of sweets today. Planning to start my running again. One thing is sure I can't stop eating sweets

I sympathise with you, because I can completely understand what you say.
I will shamelessly admit it here that I cannot diet either. I've tried it time and time again, and have realised that it's just not for me. I can resist sweets, and can go without eating anything sweet, but I must eat fried food. I think it's a different craving for each person, but the idea is the same - resistance is futile.
However, I can confidently tell you that you will be able to develop a healthy and regular exercising habit if you're determined enough.
Exercising is not as hard as dieting, and is in fact far more enjoyable than dieting. It's promising, and it never will fail you. I wish you good luck with your endeavours.

I'm not a lover of sweets either. But there are specific sweets I'm not able to resist. Those cashew milk sweets & the ones that's with a lot of ghee & mild sugar. All these are home made. I have never stepped into a sweet shop to buy something out of my craving. It's 100% seefood. These specific items, when they are open in front of me, they are inside my stomach the very next moment.
Like you said, It's not about diet but I must pull in the routine back. I planned to run in the morning , but the option of running in the evening makes me cancel it everyday. And in the evening, I actually don't get a chance to get away from my work . This's been evading me for so many weeks. I'm making up my mind to get up early and RUN!

I was recently on two diets.
I found that there was not enough food when I was only on one.

The fiance and I have actually managed to live up to our plans. She has dropped about 35 and I have managed to drop about 45 lbs in 6 months. I have a lot more to lose. I was at 260 and aiming for about 175. Currently at 215, still trending down.
Our key is pretty simple... PUT. THE. FORK. DOWN.
Seriously, portion control. If you aren't active, you don't need 2000 calories per day. Sure it takes us a bit more monitoring of what we eat to make sure we get enough nutrients that we aren't causing deficiencies, but it isn't that much more effort. Sure we have our bad days when we don't feel like cooking or when we are really stressed out about planning the wedding, or house hunting, or dealing with her father's recent passing. But when you have a bad day where you eat too much, you accept it and make sure to eat better for the rest of the week.
Restaurants here in the US typically give you enough food for 2 or 3 meals. So when we do go out, we tend to split a meal or not finish and bring the left overs home if they can be reheated and re-purposed.
When we hear people claiming that being obese is a legitimate disease, we privately agree and say that the person has "CantPutTheForkDownItus".

Like I mentioned, I am still overweight. I used to be inside of the 'obese' category according to the BMI chart and recently dropped into the 'overweight' part. That study shows that the genetic mutation affects less than 1% of the population. The current obesity rate in the US is about 34%.
The real problem is someone going into McDonald's, ordering 2 big macs, a large fry, an ice cream, and a tub of coke. Oh, better make that a diet coke. Have to watch my weight after all.
So yes, a tiny portion of people who are obese have a genetic mutation, which may contribute to weight gain. The rest need to put the fork down.

Put the fork down in McDonald's? 
I'm overweight cos I eat too much, although it tends to be healthy stuff that I eat too much of. I enjoy eating tasty food, and I don't really have a sweet tooth at all, I drink diet soda cos I prefer it.

I was looking at the top ranked articles today ... and noticed that ALL of the top articles have < 5 votes .. one person voting 5 stars seems to weigh more than 100 votes averaging 4.95 ... I think this makes it a little skewed, a poor article will get in with one good vote over proven articles.
I think that this section should be updated to have a "minimum votes" field that starts at 10 by default.
Also i think the result set should be limitless, it only returns the "top" 100... and I had to get to number 92 before I came to the proven articles, so really it was the top 9!
Here is the last page results to demonstrate:
Rank. > Votes > Rating
81. > 1 > 5
82. > 1 > 5
83. > 1 > 5
84. > 1 > 5
85. > 1 > 5
86. > 1 > 5
87. > 1 > 5
88. > 1 > 5
89. > 1 > 5
90. > 1 > 5
91. > 1 > 5
92. > 31 > 4.99
93. > 57 > 4.95
94. > 29 > 4.97
95. > 75 > 4.96
96. > 25 > 4.96
97. > 30 > 4.96
98. > 37 > 4.96
99. > 15 > 4.96
100. > 29 > 4.96

Different users votes have different weight: a high rep individual will have a bigger effect than a low rep, partly to prevent people from artificially inflating an article score by creating loads of sock puppet account to vote for it.
To me honest, we probably don't need as wide a range of votes as we have: 1..5 is underused since most votes are always either a 1 or a 5, with very, very little in between. Expanding the range wouldn't make any real difference to that, except to make it harder to actually vote since less people would be interested in finding the top or bottom values in a list or numeric input.

And REST afterwards.
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluebeat,
And tellin' me she's only looking for fun.
And this was the sound of the very last gang in town.

To my knowledge the weighting only applies for averages ... when articles only have a few votes all of 5, (regardless of the user's rep) it will always be 5 stars.
EDIT: also i think that you need the 1-5 ... I would only rate 5 for exceptional articles a 3 or 4 for an average article, 2 for poor article, one for malicious.
