Why does the OP only have 3-4 months? Is she dying? Or getting married (which is the same thing)?0

White people generally lose weight at a rate 2.3 times slower than everyone else. Sorry hun, you're out of luck. It will most likely take you 6.89 months instead.
See! I knew there was a reason I lose slow. Finally somebody has validated my theory!

Having a tan helps not only with losing weight, but with the white guilt. I felt much more guilty in February than I do now.0 -

I'm 66% west African, 30% Scandinavian and 4% Native American. Can someone extrapolate my weight loss without exact tribal information on the 4?
No problem, I'll calculate that for you. Oh. Ummmm.... Uh oh. I have some bad news. You're already dead. So sorry.
RIP.

i have also been strugglin with this. i been trying to lose and been tracking and eating only half back my exercise calories but been not seeing anything different on the scales. i am also white mostly irish and scottish but there might be an ancestor in the wood pile because i tan good but have not been losing the weight. they told me in a different thread to not eat white foods like mashed tatoes and white rice and white bread and i'm wondering if that was advice that doesn't work because i tan good?
OMG! This may be my issue as well. Does anybody know the answer to this?
You just have to brown your mashed potatoes and rice, and toast your bread when you're tan. Duh.0 -
This has been fun.0

White people can generally lose up to 1kg a week, but at your weight probably 0.5kg/week would be about right, so 2kg a month.
Basically to make this program work, use the tools available to set your goal for 0.5 kg (1lb) per week and stick to your calorie goals. Exercise will help you look and feel better and make you healthier, just log whatever you do and you get extra calories for your effort. Aim to get to zero at the end of the day, leaving a bunch of leftover calories is counterproductive.
I just laughed soooooo hard reading this.0 -
Oooooh girl, it's a marathon not a sprint.0

Oh I bet you can. -winkwinknudgenudge-0 -
no, but I could press myself against you and then the osmosis will go thru and that should workSince loss is clearly related to tanness
I'm part Irish so doomed to be fat there but I have a good bit of Native American blood and tan very easy. This should even out to a mostly flat weight. Perhaps I could get a blood donation from someone with darker skin for these last 10 pounds. Would that help?0 -

Haha you guys are hilarious... Putting my race in is just a matter of habit sorry. So instead of going on about me putting my race in the question can you actually answer the question? Thanks. And thanks to the select few who actually try and say something helpful. Much appreciated.0

Race has nothing to do with it. I typed white in habit.0
-
The very first response answered your question.
You have strange habits. I can't remember the last time I included my race in my description when it wasn't specifically relevant0 -
And all this time I have been looking for a pill or powder!:grumble:Oh baby Jesus make the nonsense stop to answer your question 8 to 10 pounds is safe for a month of work and you may hit a plateau cause weight comes off fast then stops and FYI your race shouldn't matter thats like me asking " Oh im black and 23 and all i eat is chicken and watermelon and drink grape soda how much weight will i lose?" COME ON NOW!
Bey-Bey, is that you? Wassup Cuz!!!
OKAY white ppl check
black ppl check check
asians on another thread check and a half

So basically you're saying that I need a magic ring if I want to be skinny?
Crap.0 -

What the hell kinda habit...0 -
Good baby ala. You all act like high-school idiots, do you know how to ANSWER a question? You EXTRACT helpful information to calculate and then post a HELPFUL answer. But no here you are would rather make fun than answer the question. You all have tunnel vision. Now she said its out of habit next thing everyone's going to make fun of THAT like a vicious cycle instead of giving original answers.
Poster I recommend find another site where people won't concentrate on what you said wrong in your post but concentrate on answering the question without sarcasm and mockery.0 -
She never indicated that being white would effect her weight loss or gain. She only described herself. Hell even I give my aslr out like that without thinking! And when someone doesn't ask me for my race I give it anyway. I think one of you should post a joke so that all the jokers can make a colony there while the grownup people who want to help, answer the questions.0
