You're not gaining muscle. You're just fat.
FIFY :laugh:
Dear gawd yes. You aren't bulky, you aren't some amazing wonder of science putting on tons of muscle while doing 30 day shred with two pound weight, you aren't suddenly some rippling god/goddess.
Also yeah, you can cut carbs if you want and it makes you happy, whatever, but in the long run someone eating carbs will have the same results. But got to eat bread while doing so. Bread.0 -

Sprinkle salt on the watermelon = BEST THING EVER. Cures all watermelon woes.
FTFY.That lady in your office isn't trying to sabotage you. The truth is, she doesn't care about you at all and has never given your weight loss efforts a second thought..
Furthermore your husband isn't trying to sabotage you either; he's just tired of you telling him he can't eat what he wants in his own home, trying out your weird cauliflower experiments, and dealing with you being a hangry bish.
LMAO!
Are you sure? This is the man that told me to eat nothing but watermelon and mocked my "diet" chocolate (80% dark Theo)
Well. Is that sabotage or just not knowing stuff? (Like that watermelon is gross)
Watermelon is delicious as part of a balanced diet.
I hold to the "ignorance is not a defense" book of laws.
Watermelon is a pointless non-tasting non-part of my diet. :grumble:
Where are you all getting your watermelon?
It also helps to have a really ripe, deep red melon. Some of those wan pink seedless kinds are junk to begin with.
Let me tell you a story, as my mom and great gram like to tell it to me.
When I was a wee thing my great gram picked me up from daycare or maybe kindergarten. She took me back to her place, fired up the grill, sat me at my little kiddie picnic table. In front of me she placed a big old slice of watermelon, and then she went off to man the grill. She'd look back periodically to find the watermelon slowly drifting away while I made sounds like 'yum' and 'oh so good' and 'I love this grandma."
And then my mother arrived, having finished her work shift, and reached down to pick me up. Only to stop and call out of great grandmother
"Grandma, why does she have a lap full of mushy watermelon chunks?"
Because even then, as a child known for eating anything you put in front of me, I'd rather sit with a lap full of soaking wet watermelon than actually eat it.
*fade to black*
Watermelon tastes like *kitten*. Cold needlessly drippy *kitten*.0 -

Everyone expected you to fall off the wagon ages ago.

Somehow I expected you to have eaten the watermelon rind at the end of this story. DAMMIT. SEQUEL?

Don't worry about spot reduction. You need to lose 100 lbs before you should even be concerned about "problem areas."0

If you're doing everything right and it's still not working? Sorry for you but there ain't nothing to do but eat less. Or you know, wait it out and hope at some point what doesn't work magically does.
Magic.0 -
You didn't get passed over for a promotion because you're fat. It's because you project an air of incompetence.0

I wait all year for these darn things!! They are way better than the regular reeses peanut butter cups. Don't ask me to explain because I simply cannot! But I will hurt someone for one of these!!
They have them a lot of times during the year in different shapes. Pumpkin shapes for October, hearts for Valentines, etc.
BUT EGG SHAPE IS THE BEST.
It truly is, no other peanut butter cup of any shape or size can compare.
Edited because I failed to read the whole thread before commenting and someone already said chocolate to peanut butter ratio. Sorry, sorry, sorry, don't stone me!!0 -
I think that's my new Hermes-style exclamation. "Sweet pickled watermelon rind that tastes like behind!" :laugh:

Hahaha, this reminds me of when I was a sophomore in college, and one of my classmates accused me of not liking her because she was a lesbian. I was like, "No, I just don't like you because you're a b itch!" :laugh:You didn't get passed over for a promotion because you're fat. It's because you project an air of incompetence.0 -

Addendum:
If you think you have a thyroid problem, remember that slow or difficult weight loss isn't a nice isolated symptom.
Remember that you're losing hair from everywhere, including your eyebrows, having trouble sleeping but having trouble staying awake, if you do sleep, you still have the energy of a sloth, your bowel movements are a game of Russian Roulette, your body is so cold that you're wearing sweatshirts when it's 90, you have the memory loss of a 90 year old when you're only 35, your immune system is compromised and you get sick even looking at a box of tissues, you're depressed, your skin is so dry that a bucket of Vaseline couldn't make you look and feel like a "nice" day in the desert.
Oh, and your sex drive sucks.0 -

Quoted for f*cking truth. My husband tried to go un-medicated for a couple of weeks (couldn't afford a doctor visit) and it was awful.0 -
I belonged to a Golds for awhile that was on the second level of an outdoor center. I always took the stairs but I swear to god almost everyone else took the escalator.0 -
Your aim of laughing in the faces of those people you work with / know when you lose the weight is pointless, they don't care.0

...and not everyone with an under active thyroid gains loads of weight either. A decrease in your metabolism means your body needs less food and quite often the person's appetite decreases in response.0 -
I am now sitting here thinking of the chocolate I KNOW is in the gift I got from my parents yesterday that they said I can't open to Friday at the earliest. They live over an hour way, how will they know if I open it earlier or not? Then again its at home. I'm at work. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Doooooo it! As soon as you get home. Just do it!0 -
The "fun sized" bags of M&Ms only have 70 calories so I can eat like 20 of them because they're small with few calories. Oh, and the "bite sized" candy bars (Twixt, 3 Musketeers, Snickers, etc.) are only 24 calories so I can eat the entire bag, right?
I always thought that since they didn't have a nutrition label included on each fun sized bar, they had no calories...crap...am I doing it wrong?
No. After reading your post I've seen the light and realized I'm the one doing it wrong!
Like:
cake crumbs
carnival food
food eaten in front of the TV
movie popcorn
Girl Scout cookies (or food bought from a bake sale put on for charity)
dessert that you jacked from someone else
children's food consumed by adults
and any food smaller than 1 square inch
food without nutrition labels on each piece have no calories!
Add burned food to this one. All the calories are burned out of it, so you can eat all you want. Like the burnt edges of homemade macaroni and cheese. Does not count.0 -

Oh good, so this means the piece of easter fudge delivered to my room by my sabotaging assistant principal is actually a kind and thoughtful gift that I can consume without remorse because it contains no guilt laden evil calories?0 -

No because the assistant principal actually hates you. Sorry.
