    Right...I had a few PMs with this guy yesterday and gave him some advice and offered to stay in touch and check his diary after a week

    Mainly get a scale, start logging to your MFP calorie defecit which is 400 calories higher than the minimum for males that you've set and eat back 50% calories from exercise

    But he's deleted this account so it does seem like he's still not ready to make a change

    Oh well ...good luck to you ..

    It's not going to change until you commit

    I need someone to review my diet and exercise and constructively criticize.

    That ain't gonna work. It's not rock bottom until you're convinced that *nobody* out there can help you.

    Good luck! :drinker:

    Is your other account and diary open

    Send me a pm with the username and I'll take a look

    I don't do cheerleading and I don't do namby-pamby touchy feely ...I'm not an American...but if you're serious and you've stopped making excuses I'm willing to listen and try to help

    Are you saying that Americans are "namby-pamby touchy feely" or am I reading it wrong...

    More so than Brits

    I have to agree with you on that.

    by the way @lucys1225 if you don't get the irony in flagging my post as abusive I'm at a loss

    :bigsmile:


    you will note that I didn't flag @ceoverturf for calling us unempathetic hard-arses with the souls of life-sucking demons

    I just saw this and, since I have never flagged anyone, you are, once again, mistaken.

    @kshama2001 he deleted this account and made another new one and I'm afraid after a few days of trying to support him by PM I realised he was either trolling, or not yet ready to commit to himself.

    He also snuck in that he'd had WLS, and I felt that needed his medical team support as I have no experience / knowledge of the dietary challenge (I did check with another MFPer who had experience and I respect as to whether what he was telling me was possible) ...

    I'm afraid I bowed out, wished him luck and blocked the new account.
