Why are women always on a diet?

Diet is an ugly four letter word. If you are making changes they have to be life style changes, you cant go back to your old ways and expect to keep weight off. They are most likely lying to themselves or "dieting" for 2-3 days a week and old habits the rest of the week.

This is so true! I'm glad someone else has the same mind set as me! I HATE the word 'Diet' it just screams 'I'm not really bothered about losing weight' there is no commitment in a diet so how can you succeed is you don't commit?

Nonsense. Just because you may not be able to commit to a diet doesn't mean no one else can.

Huh? I can't commit to changing my diet? Are you a fool? I have lost almost 60 lbs from changing my habits all the time, not for any short period...

AND looking at your profile, you have lost 15lbs? Ok so that may or may not be a reflection of who has the winning ideologies...

You said you can't commit to a diet (see your post above re: "there is no commitment in a diet "), not I.

I don't see how my not allowing myself to get 58 lbs overweight shows your ideology as superior, but if it's working for you then it's all good. While it's true I didn't meet the random scale number MFP forced me to enter, I have reached a healthy weight, fitness level BF%, healthy waist-to-height and waist-to-hip ratio, my Dr. says I'm healthy, and I like what I see in the mirror. That's winning enough for me. :drinker:

I never said that I can't commit to a diet, I said that I would NEVER commit to a diet because it is the WRONG WAY to permanently improve your health and fitness. You are naive because you have never really been overweight by the looks of things, you are on this site because all your silly normal wait girl friends are doing it, so you need to follow the herd. I had hoped I wouldn't bring myself down to your level but, you pissed me off with your total lack of knowledge on just about everything you in your comment...
