    read what I said I burn absolutely loads as I have an active lifestyle and I work dam hard in gym.

    I also keep within my calorie count by working out.

    My measurements say it all and the fact I dropped a dress size. 4lb a week is more than achievable

    Despite the fact that you think I am being mean... if you go back to my original reply I said something along the lines of that it was more likely that over the last few weeks you were retaining water. What I should have explained is that it is very possible to be down 2 pounds of fat while being up 2 lbs of water making the scale show a zero difference. It could be you lost 1.5 pounds for the last 3 weeks and the scale just now is showing the results because water retention has finally eased up.

    Please understand that when you make a claim (that originally did not distinguish the possibility of water) about losing 8lbs in a week (not the 10 days later in the thread) some people may take you very serious and try to mimic your results.

    But I didn’t say I lost 8lb of fat I also did this lose on week 3 but the total weight loss of 8lb was over 10 days. Funny enough 2lb came off in 2 days so yeah probably water finally coming off but weight loss is weight loss which is what I was saying.

    I’m also a dress size down. I’m just saying that on another thread several people said it’s diet not exercise. Well I havnt changed my diet I work out so I can eat 1800 calories minimum a day. Which means I can have that piece of cheesecake and have 3 packets of frazzles

    You said this:
    It’s not impossible to lose 8lb of fat in around week and half which if you consider I weigh on a Monday and today is Friday. Just seems like you don’t like my method which works for me so looking to pick out faults and yeah I’m gunna gloat as everyone does when they lose weight like jeez if you havnt got any nice to say don’t say it

    Again. Not trying to be mean here at all.

    So... you're burning more calories than you eat. CICO. Same as everyone else here. You are just focusing on the calories out more than on the calories in. Different ways for different people but it still comes down to the same thing in the end. Good job!

    ^^ this

    To be fair looking at your diary you are roughly sticking to your calories each day, okay you go over now and again but not massively, so you'll still be in some sort deficit. Yes, your exercise gives you some extra calories but it's exactly the same system that everyone else on here follows...to proclaim you have been pigging out and only exercising while still losing 8lbs is not telling the full story.

    But the fact I class pigging out as eating 2 cookies which came to 500 calorie and 3 packets of frazzles yet still managed to keep it within calorie intake as I was up farm all day with Horses so burnt those calories. That’s still pigging out on crap to most ppl I just do it as I said in a way where I make sure I work off those bad treats. My diary is exactly what I’m doing and it’s working.

    I mean other day I had breakfast, had a snack for lunch worked out for 2 hours then ate a whole pizza from Iceland to myself which is 800 calories alone plus prosecco

    Iv still lost weight weight over the week

    I’m just saying you can still eat the things you enjoy and lose weight Iv done it all my life apart from when Iv stopped exercising then I put on weight which again proves how exercising is essential for me personally

    Congrats you’re a medial anomaly! You should report your findings.

    You know it might be a tad easier to convince the OP that some of us are trying to have a civil conversation if you dialed back the snark a bit.

    And its true we can eat the things we enjoy and still lose, you're active so you have burned a lot.

    'Pigging out' is relative, regardless of what you ate, because you are active you burned that all off and then some to lose.

    I wouldn't call the packet of crisps, slice of cake or a chocolate bar I have most days pigging out or crap but they fit into my calories - they're not seen as healthy foods but there's nothing wrong with having them. Not when the rest of my diet is full of nutrients.
