Stop taking all that medication, weight gain is a side effect! 1- I'll leave medication facts to the doctor thanks. 2- I was fat before I was given the stuff. 3- It is ANTI EPILEPSY medication. I am not stopping! 4- The other side effects include hyperactivity so doing loads at the gym is easier as I don't get tired so fast 5- Another side effect is rage. I suggest you back off.46

That vegans/vegetarians are healthier people solely because they don't eat meat.3

Unless they are really muscular. :P0 -

You don't want to lose weight, you'll lose your boobs.
That one is true, at least for me.
Yes, me also. My boobs are tiny now but I'm really pleased about it as a) they suit my evolving body and b) it's easier to find bras that fit.
My husband on the other hand is a little disappointed . . . but he'll get over it
LOL! I've told my husband that my goal is to have "sport boobs." So he should start getting used to the idea.

"Sticky foods will make you fat, cause they stick to your insides." said by my adult niece. When I questioned the logic, she told me that her mother told her this and therefore it was correct. I replied, "Your mother is an idiot!"13

Ha! I have "sport boobs," too. Luckily, my hubby is more interested in the rear view.

i guess that kind of makes sense, in a 'you can't outrun your fork' kind of thing. Diet is the most important factor in weight loss, not exercise. Exercise helps with strength and endurance, but the vast majority of people can simply lower their caloric intake and do just fine losing weight.5 -

Just when I thought the milk-calf argument couldn't get any sillier.
Yeah, good luck trying to milk those soybeans.7 -

Them: I can't do that, I always have to look after my grand-daughter.

"She doesn't like to walk".
Kids don't like a lot of things until you make them do it, and then they enjoy themselves. Getting a kid to like walking means taking them walking and ignoring the whining. They learn to love it and it is one of the greatest gifts you can give them, imo.
I will never understand the idea that we express our love to our kids by encouraging them to be unhealthy, whether it's "kid food" or sitting on their backsides all day. Everyone likes a duvet day or chicken nuggets once in a while, but making that the routine is not an expression of love. Get the kids out in the rain. They'll thank you for it one day.30 -

Those are hilarious. If they were stuffed after eating 1200 calories a day they wouldn't be overweight and wouldn't have ever heard of this site. 11 -
My friend told me she cant take vitamins or calcium supplements as they make her gain weight!7

This. I lose weight when I increase my calorie burn without increasing calorie intake. I will never be somebody who can just drop to 1200 cals/day and not want to kill the world because I'm so hangry. So, the kitchen is important - but, for me, so is physical activity (which is, admittedly, mostly walking).8 -

Agree.
My four year old daughter LOVES to walk, cycle, run, jump, bounce around. She never sits still and one of her favourite things is to take a walk to feed the ducks. In fact, today we walked 2.5 miles to a cycling session, cycled for an hour and then walked home. Half of that time was through a gale and my daughter loved it.
What alarms me more than anything is parents who fight with their children to get them into a pushchair, why not let the child walk, for goodness sake?14 -

Because the parents don't want to run around chasing their child. Mine thought running from me was a game even while I screamed at her to stop while she ran into traffic.12 -

pertsonally i find this very true .... but i have also heard
SUGAR DOESNT MAKE YOU FAT .
Have you ever taken heroin? Have you ever spent time with people who are addicted and seen first hand what it does to them? Have you ever left your family, alienated your friends and committed a felony so you can get your sugar fix? Have you ever sold your car or your belongings so you can buy a cake?
Everytime people say anything about a food addiction I think of bob saget in half baked, lol. He describes addiction well7
