I hear where you're coming from candybear. Do your relatives exercise? You could counter with that, that they could "keep from" having what you have if they exercised :-)

I have been interested in exercise and genes in the past. My father rowed when he was at the Naval Academy (all midshipmen had to pick a sport to participate in) but none of my brothers or I are athletic. I played field hockey in high school, even went to an expensive summer field hockey training camp, but I hated it the whole time, I always hated running. I only went to camp because my best friend "made me". I was talking to my T and doctor about that, a genetic propensity to "sit" rather than "do".
