C) Raylene is 5'3" tall and weighs 150 pounds. Throughout high school, she participated in basketball and track, and weighed about 30 pounds less than she does now. Since starting college, her weight has slowly crept upward, probably because she snacks excessively while studying and no longer participates in sports. Her only regular physical activity is walking between buildings on campus. She is very unhappy with her current weight.
D) Zach is 5'7" tall and weighs 150 pounds. His male relatives are all short, small-boned, and thin. Zach is determined to bulk up, so he works out with weights six days a week, eats a high-protein diet, and takes an illegal steroid supplement he obtains from a bodybuilding friend.
