    Hmmm. Isn't this the "diet and weight loss" forum? :huh:

    No. This is where you come for an argument.

    'No it isn't'. '

    'That's not an argument that's just a contradiction'.

    'No it isn't'.

    etc... apologies to Monty Python :bigsmile:

    You're my new best friend. :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    That speaks volumes.

    glad someone said it

    Um. Burn? I guess? :drinker:

    You don't seem to be making a lot of fans here.

    I can drink to that. :laugh:

    :drinker:

    I've always gone for quality over quantity, so it suits me fine. :drinker: People who take themselves too seriously are a crashing bore anyways. :tongue:

    When I think of eating more I think about how much space that food takes up on my plate and how long it takes me to eat it. With that theory you CAN eat more to weigh less. Take a look at this website which shows pictures of 200 calorie foods.

    Ah so many people who don't actually understand the concept of "eat more to lose weight" :noway:

    So, the OP needs to eat even MORE calories, is that is? Gee, you'd think every morbidly obese person would be a skinny as a rail, with all the calories they eat. :tongue:

    Just because someone is morbidly obese doesn't mean they have to eat a severely restrictive caloric intake to lose weight....

    I'm not sure anyone was suggesting that.

    What's been said in this thread is that the OP is not tracking. She is also not losing.

    What's more likely? That she's eating too little and has some form of metabolic shutdown, or that she's eating too much and just doesn't realize it?

    First thought when you hear hoof beats should be horses, not zebras.

    The 'eat more' mantra is in my opinion only valid when you have an accurate history of tracking and you can see chronic, severe and harmful caloric deficit.

    You know those threads where you want to call someone a female dog so badly that you make a post about sometimes wanting to call someone a female dog? This is one of those threads.

    I've been called worse. "Succubus" comes to mind. I consider it a compliment. :flowerforyou:

    There's no need for that. Whether you say it directly or in that cop-out passive-aggressive way that you used. It's not nice - behave yourself.

    Let me get this straight...you're eating more so you have a smaller theoretical deficit and therefore less margin for error...you don't weigh or measure anything and rely entirely on visual estimation for doing something that requires a great deal of precision to work...sounds legit.

    If you aren't losing then you are not in a calorie deficit. When you "eat more to lose" you have to understand that weight loss would be slower and you have significantly less margin for estimation error...a deficit of 250 - 500 calories isn't that large of a deficit and it doesn't take a whole lot of error to wipe it out. You also need to understand that "eat more to lose" is much more about dietary adherence than anything else. You don't magically start losing more weight by eating more food...people just tend to stick to their diets better and therefore tend to have more consistent losses over a long haul than people who crash and then binge and crash and then binge.

    Drop your calories down and start weighing and measuring things out.

    While I feel duly chastised, the sentiment still stands. I can't help the way I feel.

    Also, I prefer to call it being indirect but to each their own.

    You feeling angry doesn't mean another woman is a *****. That's emotional reasoning. 'I am sad so you are mean,' 'I am frightened so you are scary'. It's just you feeling angry and lashing out which is neither reasonable nor acceptable. You are out of order so first pack it in and second apologise. smh

    Ever been called a ***** by a stranger? How did YOU feel.

    Well, call it what you will. Message received. Guess what? My feelings aren't hurt. :laugh: If you really want to insult me, you're going to have to get up pretty early in the morning to do that...:drinker:

    I said I felt duly chastised (the yellow card was for me, after all)...

    But since you brought up a new topic:
    It's only emotional reasoning if the person (I don't know why you're assuming it's a woman) isn't in fact worthy of the title.

    The one time I've been called a ***** by a stranger, to my face no less, was hilarious and didn't make me feel bad. It's only people I know and care about that can actually hurt my feelings. Why would anyone care what someone who has no impact on their life thinks about them, especially someone on the internet?

    Is it weird to white knight for someone when you don't even know who you're white knighting for?

    The last time someone said that to my face they said Happy Birthday to the ground immediately afterwards. I chipped his tooth, too.... Happy days! :bigsmile:

    A true knight doesn't "get to know" Rapunzel before rescuing her.

    I thought that odd? Who cares whether you know either of them or not. It's the behaviour you're condemning.

    Nobody appointed you to decide how other people should or shouldn't interact. Nobody cares what is or isn't acceptable to you. Get over yourself.

    Does he wait though to see if Rapunzel can handle herself?

    Rapunzel was never in the hands of a "true knight" - Zal was just her lover. Or a wandering prince that just happened by. Rapunzel is a dumb floozy with "clothes getting tight" that gives the prince away and he actually never saves her.

    I don't think I'd want to be compared to any of the characters in that fairy tale.

    If your not measuring and weighing and logging everything correctly then I would start there.... If you don't have a handle there then nothing else you do is going to make a difference because you will be just guessing at that point....

    Agreed with what he said. I measure almost everything on my food scale & have lost around 70 pounds since starting myfitnesspal.
