A person’s weight is a result of many factors. These factors include environment, family history and genetics, metabolism (the way your body changes food and oxygen into energy), behavior or habits, and others. Certain things, like family history, can’t be changed.  However, other things—like a person’s lifestyle habits—can be changed.
