I should start bootlegging Soreen around the world.

No nerve. Just genuinely want to know what you think is in food that we should be avoiding?

Never tried it but can't imagine I'd love the combo. It's a dense, moist fruit cake. Suppose you could try it. I'll stick to actual butter because traditionalist.

I am introvert but I'm an incredibly thick skinned introvert. You don't have a life like I've had and survive, even minimally, without it.

As a FB group admin, can confirm. Our group chat is brutal, heh.

This thread has guaranteed I'm buying some Soreen tomorrow and whacking some butter on it. Omnomnomnom.

I'm British. I addressed you from a British perspective. You could answer my question what exactly is in these evil foods we should be avoiding? I'll even quote my reply to you again. And by the way, I think Americans use processed in the same context us Brits too, I have many friends in various places around the world,…

I think the possibly more unusual aspect of my story is that I never stopped. I had a period of gain x 2, Christmas just gone and holiday this year. Both were times where I knew I needed to give over some head space to keeping hold of my mental health and there was always a stop point for the hog wild eating. And thus it…

Part of me is quietly delighted that when I finally post in the Success Stories it's going to be the most meandering story to get from point A to point B. Like that time I got lost without satnav on holiday this year. None of this "I lost 100lbs in two months by running every day and eating lettuce!" nonsense. I shall be…

Any activity over and above ones norm and engaging muscles in a different and/or more extended period of time can cause water weight fluctuations. And also just because bodies will do what they do!

I am happily continuing to whoosh off the weekend's water weight. Still a bit puffy which I dare not dream means when I'm eventually done whooshing it will be what I've been waiting for. We'll see. My body has a sick sense of humour.

When I get my vet wrist slap for having fatties they always say put the food down and take it up when they walk away. The ones not getting their share will soon catch on. And it's true. Chilli naturally wants to hang back but when she's hungry she'll haul *kitten* to get to her food. There's also the feeding separately…

Even with PB&J you are on a one way ticket to bad timesville. What is with all these people who think basically eating nothing is a good idea?

I find it really lovely when I go on holiday and have no scale. As much as I like the numbers, two weeks without it and no logging is a nice break and teaches me a few things. My annual trip is usually to Disney World so I do eat all the food because 1. Disney 2. America but with all the walking it's generally minimal…

The best bit is when the damp salad, sauce and grease from the meat (yummo!) make the bread of choice fall apart. Then you just go full savage and shovel it in any way you can.

Yeah I mostly lurk too. And marvel at Sumi's legs. Lordy her legs. As for cats. Chilli can join the butterballs. When Horatio arrived he was a voracious eater all day every day (we do have scheduled mealtimes but ya know, portion creep). The girls finally started to lose their not so healthy fluff but then he's slowed down…

Care to name the crap? Since i started on MFP and saw this fear mongering I started taking a closer look at these foods. I don't consume a huge amount but have no issue with them. In the UK at least dried packets of stuff are literally just freeze dried versions of the veg and carbohydrate etc with some stabilisers for…

He's done some podcasts on this and of course the book (come on with the book!) will detail it all too. He also drops snippets in his FB group. It's pretty fascinating.

Further to this. I try to drink as much water as is reasonable without getting up every five minutes on the flight. Then when I get off. Helps the plane swole. But yeah, I wore short shorts earlier this year cellulite and lumpy thighs all out. There were women with far more extensive cellulite than me. I think people were…

It's all nonsense but "flabby muscle"? What the.

When I was my biggest my feet would look like that after a flight. Sexy.

I'd say a little over given we're trying to reset all the hormones and shiz. And like you say, rationally you can't pack on 20lbs of fat in two weeks. Just keep repeating that to yourself. New strength training = water. More food = water and just food in your system. Stress about scale increase = water. It's the great…

Similar here, most kebab shops will do pizza too and there's at least 5 every mile. We love a kebab. Quality obviously varies.

I suppose. Not Greek though, always in the Turkish kebab shops so donner kebab.

This is what ours look like. I have it with garlic sauce, well I say I have it, I don't remember when I last ate one. You can get other sauces though.

Beef? Your big meat on a stick turning in front of a grill is beef? Here it's lamb. And yep, you can have garlic sauce though there's no condensed milk involved as far as I'm aware.

We call 'em donner kebabs here in the UK. Drunk food. If you're really all about the dirty drunk food you get just the donner meat on chips (fries).

Your numbers are consistent as you've just displayed by working out your three week averages. Your body isn't a perfect input/output machine. I mean even a car on the same route will use a different amount of fuel of different days giving you different mpg. The human body is far more complex and variable. Use a weight…

It's a week. You can't use a week to provide any meaningful data on rate of loss. The body is too variable. Give it more like 8 weeks. Edit to add: If you're in a deficit you don't maintain body weight even if by some miracle you built muscle. To add weight, muscle or fat, you need to add calories.

I am both delightfully and horrendously puffy. Whooshed 1lb off of 3lb bloat already though. And after week off to sleep 12 hours a day and feel like utter crap I got a workout in today. Can no longer feel my legs.
