    I'll see how it works for a while, thanks @rabbitjb

    Lol

    You're not gaining on 1000 calories a day.

    @acorsaut89 Depends on what level you play it. Like I said, I play both tennis and badminton and competitively. There is such a thing as pro badminton and I am doing it, only because it isn't as prestigious as tennis doesn't make it less real. I have sacrificed much to get to where I am and I also love it. There are a lot of training outside of badminton as well, like I mentioned, I swim and run and do weight training in addition, as of course badminton doesn't provide for everything.

    @mccindy72 if you are taking it as an insult that is on you. I was genuinely happy for you that you found a good combo of things you can eat, not for the weight-loss but to relieve the IBS. As I said, I just started fodmap and need to adjust to it. I love broccoli and now I have to leave it out. Not sure how that is rude but sure whatever.

    So this is funny . . . I wrote so much more than my question about badminton and the ONLY thing you answer is something to validate you and your situation . . .nothing else taken into consideration. I have sacrificed . . . my mom did, my neighbour did, heck probably the lady in front me at the grocery store on Sunday did too. We all have made sacrifices to get to where we are. You aren't the only one.

    She's not gaining on the 1800 tops she claims to be eating a day.

    For the last time SCIENCE! PHYSICS! FACTS!

    Just checking to see if the OP is still refusing to open her diary, or as how many calories she eats.

    We got a calorie range on pg 4, but she still mostly refuses to give us details or answer questions that might help.

    So, the truth is, she doesn't really know.

    She could be maintaining on a poorly logged 1800, though. If her average TDEE is, say, 2100-2200

    Did I miss the response in which OP suggested a scientific mechanism other than eating too much by which weight is not lost over time? No? Yet that supposedly can't be the answer or something.

    Some people think they want help, but they don't.

    Really, I am the one being nasty? But people are insulting the sports I do, they are insulting me because I used a hyperbole and then saying I have said anywhere that science can be altered! Nowhere have I said "science can be altered". Nor have I taken every test possible, I am taking them. I had normal thyroid levels, but I did have surgery beginning of year cause by my digestive disorder so that I now have to eat meds for IBS and follow fodmap. Only because they haven't found the exact cause yet, doesn't mean there isn't anything even if it doesn't relate to weightloss. So making fun of someone who has awful symptoms isn't very nice.
    I've also said several times I will continue monitoring my food but everyone chose to not see that, but loved being nasty and attacking me personally.

    You're the one making the passive-aggressive jabs at the nationality of a lot of people who've tried to help you.

    Speaking of science, though, what's a scientific reason for failing to lose weight over time other than eating too much?

    That's my point, if it's poorly logged it's not 1800.

    Here is the point, even if I said no no no and no forever, there is no need for people to start bullying me. I think making fun of badminton is kind of a low blow.

    Where do you feel like everyone was attacking? And everyone was nasty? We want to report all of them, if so.

    Or... I dunno... could it be you're being (naturally) defensive when confronted with questions regarding your exact intake? It's ok to be defensive. It's a natural response to a mirror being held in front of you that you don't want to look in.

    But making fun of being an American is peachy?

    I actually was considering taking up competitive badminton before I decided to first try roller derby.

    I made fun of curling and ping pong too. But, I'm a fat American.

    An american who doesn't know what portion sizes are, don't forget that part.

    Because being useful clearly isn't helping, I'm just going to embrace being "nasty".

    Thanks, that fat american remark was also in response to a nasty remark made by someone else first.
    I have no need to start things, but I will defend myself.

    Doesn't matter if it is a medical condition. If she's not losing weight, she's eating more than she's burning. Period. Now, maybe a medical condition skews the numbers, but it still comes down to eating too much.

    Ok people. I get it. Badminton really is a sport. For me, it was just something we played at my grandma's house when I was a kid 30 years ago. I did like that you guys called me "the lady" who didn't know....I'm a lady. Damn right.

    Bur at this point, what is happening now is that you are bullying me. I am one person and the majority are now making fun of and twisting everything I have said.
    I hope you have achieved what you wanted.

    Ok. I didn't really read this since all these "why am I gaining weight" threads are the same, but are we sure this is for real. Is there really such a thing as Pro Badminton? That's actually kind of funny. I'm sure this is offensive, but in my mind badminton is in the same sports category as ping pong.

    Badminton was actually an exhibition game at the Olympics.

    Both badminton and ping pong can burn a lot of calories. Both require you to fit.

    Disputing your assertion your body is defying the laws of physics and you disagreeing is not bullying. And generally, when people are told the thing they're right about is wrong, they resort to the GIFS and memes because it's generally all downhill form there anyway.

    You're still not listening, so no.

    Maybe they have a different definition of "bullying" among those raised in Sweden, but telling you the truth isn't bullying.
