    "its too much of an effort to log what i eat - you obviously have too much time on your hands" - yeah i work full time, have a toddler, exercise 6 days a week and log all my food - of course I gave up watching hours of tv to do it!

    "I dont have time to eat right or exercise" - but you have enough time to watch all those tv shows and go on facebook! Seriously I dont understand that - I record the tv shows I want to watch and watch them when its convenient for me.

    It's genetic, there is nothing I can do about it.

    "I want to lose weight but I cant find the motivation/energy, etc."

    Bull**** - what you want is a magical solution without putting in the effort.

    URGH

    "I have to have my sweets (everyday)"

    My whine: I have a friend who weighs 199lb and is always talking about how she has trouble walking. Letting her know that losing 50 lb might be an idea doesn't work. Well, you make choices about being friends, so I keep my mouth shut.

    It's ok for you...- why? I work full time, have 3 kids, with many after school activities...

    Im going to start.... (insert mythical day / date)

    I don't have time....

    It's too expensive... I shop at aldi / like for my cheap veggies / fruit. I have a council gym membership, by going twice a week it pays for itself.

    I don't know why I keep gaining weight....

    It's too hard... it is hard to lose weight, it's also hard to maintain and hard to be fat, choose your hard.

    Sorry think period one is legit.... but do make sure chocolate binge is in my calories.

    I'll go into starvation mode!!!

    I'm too busy! (Try cutting calories when you've got time on your hands then, that's easier. NOT!)

    The kids will be deprived without their snacks.

    I can't afford it.

    I can't make my own lunch because I caaaant find any tupperwaaaaaaaare:sad: (this is one of mine)

    'Help, I have to lose weight, advices that are not 'use less oil or eat less bread' I can't eat my food if it's not dripping in olive oil or if I can't eat at least 250 gr of bread each meal, I don't like it' (my dad)


    I don't have a magic wand, dad.

    Oh don't forget, it's harder when your older..

    And the classic about your fat cells never being able to return to small once you've been fat...

    I'm starting on Monday, so I'm going to enjoy the rest of the week by eating anything I want and eat and drink loads at the weekend cos I've got to 'be good' after that.

    I'm going to a bbq so I can't not eat the sausages and burgers etc cos it'd be rude not to.

    I've paid for it so I'm going to eat all of it - don't want to waste my money do I?

    It's a carvery, we're supposed to pile our plates up - it's in the rules.

    Yes my bf always uses the excuse "i don't like wasting food ive paid for"

    The one I hear from men mainly ( not being sexist here). I don't need to diet I can lose 2lb by going toilet. ( not pleasant but they actually said it) but then eat food that would help them gain in excess to that!!

    Myself to a friend trying to convince me to start MFP "No, I see how you are eating, I could't do that, I love food too much!" (ashamed now, and thanked many times my friend :) )

    "I lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks, and now I'm only losing a pound a week. This isn't working. I give up" - all over the forums.

    Must admit that I've used the excuse that 'I'm to tired' before.

    Another one I've said is 'it's too cold' - not for exercising outside, but too cold to undress and exercise INSIDE!
