This is brilliant I agree with everything you have said! All i seem to see on MFP is "a calorie is a calorie" but to me it just doesnt sit right. You obviously digest all different foods differently and use nutrients from the food in different ways. I dont think anybody (even the scientists) really knows the exact amount…

Its encouraging to hear that it does work for some, thats for your input everyone :)

Really!? I thought that WW would magically zap them away for me??

Oh dear haha sorry that made me laugh :blush: I hardly eat any fruit at the moment but I do like/ enjoy it. Id like to eat more without worrying about the numbers, ill give it a month and see what happens- call it an experiment on myself!

Well ill give it a go and see what happens, im stuck where I am at the moment so it cant do any harm to have a change once in a while.

Thanks everyone :) A bit more behind my way of thinking... The reason I chose WW over Slimming world is because I feel they are more realistic with the Zero point methodology (for fruit and veg) as oppose to SW where fruit, veg, potato, pasta, rice, meat, fish etc. are ALL "free" foods which seems ridiculous and very…

I know what you mean about it getting tedious & frustrating :neutral: i defo didn't find it this hard work the first time round!

Omg the difference is amazing u look so toned, Just what I am aiming for! Thank you I am defo going to start taking pics :smile: Do u mind if i ask how tall you are?

That is crazy I can clearly see a difference, well done! What have you been doing? I have just checked my Nike running app I started running at the beginning of May, I was under the impression that water retention was only a short term thing? My BMI is currently 26. something so technically I should be aiming to lose more…

I do work in an office at a desk but I wear an apple watch to try and keep myself aware of being active, I go for a walk a few times a day. On my running days I go as soon as I get home from work, my usual route is 2.4 miles and takes me around 30 mins if I run non-stop.

No I haven't but thats a good idea, thank you :smile:

Thanks for your reply but I have stated that I am doing both. I didn't do any exercise when I first lost weight, now I have started running.

I like this idea, i may copy! :smile: I am struggling at the moment to lose any weight no-matter how mard I try, for the last two months iv stayed the same (11st) I'm the same height as you, iv been eating 1300 calories a day but then after a week or so of doing this I start to feel deprived then end up pigging out =…

I did think this, thats why im asking if anybody has found this to work. I have been re-searching Google and the message boards here and saw it stated a few times but all the info was pretty conflicting. Id just like to know peoples actual experiences with it to be honest :)

This sounds exactly like me, same figures too!

How dare you! Hahaha thats gota be the best comment on here

Let me be clear, the OCD comment was aimed at those who stress over weighing a pre-packaged, single serving yogurt just incase the calories are off by +/- 5-10kcal. Those who weigh restaurant food and pick apart meals "just incase". Counting calories is one thing but that is just not normal behaviour.

I think if a "Newbie" was to read this thread it would scare and put them off straight away! So many judgemental, rude, aggressive people getting their back up!! I also noticed that a lot of people on here may have developed OCD with weighing and numbers, weighing a pre packaged yogurt haha come on REALLY! I dont take a…

I know quite a few people who have done well on Slimming world, a friend at work has just got her 3st award. She is now at her goal of 9st so she wasnt very overweight to start with but it has worked for her. I personally didnt like the plan but it clearly does work if you stick to it.

Sounds like Slimming world to me, and people lose massive amounts of weight on that not weighing or counting most of the foods they eat?

I never said that? And i didnt eat healthier on Sunday I had a big curry.

Well iv lost 1lb so far this week, my official weigh in day is not until Saturday so that is faster than usual too!

Could you highlight the logical part please? It just seemed like a long, condescending string of riddles to me.

Thank you :)

You keep trying to contradict/ trip me up? Every body is different, did you know that?

I wish I could read this lol stuff like this interests me :)

It was just what I said initially- "a theory" I didn't once claim that was fact. Purely an opinion, which believe it or not everyone is entitled too! And my OP stems from personal experience, which doesnt lie! I didn't come here to argue with jumped up know it alls...

I never said that it was "just" water. What I am challenging is your claim that you're eliminating "alot" of alcohol calories -- without using them -- when you urinate. Many people urinate more when they drink because alcohol is a diuretic. To conclude, as you have, that this means our body doesn't process the calories in…

I am sorry genius but how do you know it is a "mistake"? Have u tested pee in a lab and concluded the results physically for yourself? Until you can come at me with actual facts then your claims only have as much worth as mine do!

Water that goes in clear and comes out yellow? Wee is definitely not just water!
