Don't waste your money on WW's as it clearly doesn't work for you. You've signed up on here, so make use of this wonderful free resource. Put all your stats in, choose 1/2 or 1 lb a week max, weigh / measure all your food with a digital scale and proper measuring spoons / jugs and allow the process to work. It really is…

I'm going to copy and paste my post here because, well... evidence... I have no health problems relating to diet coke...: As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've been drinking diet coke for about 25 years, and not just "once in a while" so I just did a quick calculation on how many cans I have drunk over that time. I drink…

Don't let the memory of what I am sure was a lovely holiday be ruined with "I wish I hadn't eaten so much", that would be such a shame! What's done is done and hopefully you enjoyed all that yummy food. It was just a week, it is very unlikely you have put on 10lbs of fat, as others have said, it is most likely just fluid…

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've been drinking diet coke for about 25 years, and not just "once in a while" so I just did a quick calculation on how many cans I have drunk over that time. I drink anything between 7 and 14 cans a week so I've probably consumed between 63,875 and 127,750 cans of diet coke or at least…

Rather than wondering if I can somehow call my weightlifting HIIT when it isn't, I'd be wondering why I care about a marketing term..! If HIIT was never a trendy "thing" and you had never heard of it, would you be happy with what you were doing? I suspect so. But, on the other hand, if it somehow makes you feel better,…

I've been drinking diet coke / pepsi for, ahem, at least 25 years, through fat times and thin. I can't drink ordinary because the sugar makes my sensitive teeth hum! I love it and have never had any side effects or problems of any kind. I guess if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients then you should stay…

First of all, you have only put on 4 lbs, that is really not a lot, I go up and down by that several times a week! Just a few other questions that might narrow down what is going on - are you weighing yourself on the same scale each time? Are you sure it's working? It's very odd to be the exact same weight every single…

Bit confused with your question. How long are we talking for "temporary"? 10 minutes, a day, a week? If you are talking about which would cause you to gain more weight say 10 minutes after you ate, then obviously whichever one weighed more on the scale, water included. As for longer term, whichever has the most calories.…

What are your stats? Age, how tall, what do you weigh and how much are you trying to lose? Can you open your diary so those in the know can guide you. Do you weigh every single bite on a digital scale? Do you measure accurately every drop you drink, apart from water? Because if even it sounds harsh, and unless you are ill,…

Erm... okaaayyyy?

Phew, thanks to those that clarified that then! I get at least 2 litres of straight plain water and then a couple of coffees, herbal teas etc. Think I'll be just fine...! ;)

I hope I've misunderstood you... I'm currently 74kgs, are you telling me I should be drinking 37 kilos (so 37 litres!) of water a DAY?! Haha, I'd never leave the bathroom...!

That list has me very confused, why can you eat mushy peas but not ordinary peas? If you can eat bread and biscuits, why can't you eat pastry? If you can eat ice cream and sweets, why can't you eat chocolate? What's so special about sweetcorn compared to say broccoli? I think you need to say what's wrong with you in order…

Why are you ignoring red meat and chocolate...?

It is usually raw weight as it soaks up different amounts of water during cooking depending on whether you have it al-dente or not.

And breathe.... you CAN do this. You don't need to find time to exercise so relax about that. It's great if you can find a bit of time as exercise is good for mental health as well as physical and can give you a few more calories to play with, but it's not essential for weight loss. What is your calorie allowance as set my…

May I ask why you cut out tuna and cantaloupe from your diet in the first place? Both are perfectly healthy. In fact there is no reason for you to cut ANYTHING out of your diet for you you to lose weight. Everything you enjoy in moderation that fits in with your calorie requirements is the key otherwise at some point or…

Could you be pregnant..? that'll cause your belly to grow!

Only if the calories in the alcohol you drink take you over your daily calorie limit... I drink alcohol and if it fits in with my weekly allowance I lose just fine, thank you very much.

I'm worried about you. You have been obsessing over a similar weight for over a year (http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10401327/weight-gain-water-and-generally-feeling-rubbish), but you keep coming back asking about fluctuating by a kilo or two which you keep being told is perfectly normal for dozens of…

I'd be chuffed to bits with that time!!

I'm pear shaped but no idea what my hip to waist ratio is... But my weight loss is consistent with how much food I put in my mouth if that's any help?

I'm not sure if this is a joke relating to some other thread that I've missed, if it is, just ignore me. If not and it's a genuine question then.... What?! You don't "feel" like going? Your cousin is, with (I presume) cerebral (not several) palsy going to make the effort to walk across stage for her graduation and you…

This thread has so made me laugh. How on EARTH did people lose weight in the good 'ol days when NOWHERE listed their calories..? Despite the fact that most of the people on MFP do, so obviously it's something "we" might like, most people do not and so most restaurants aren't really going to be worried about losing the tiny…

If I was you, I'd sit my mum and dad down and ask them to please help me. Most people would love to have two free experts at their disposal! They probably haven't interfered so far because they don't want to sound like overbearing know-it-all naggy parents. But I am sure if you said you would like their help they would…

Gosh, wow, aggressive much? No I DON'T have a "100 bulletproof on that statement" whatever that might mean, and it hasn't happened to me, but, at just 5ft tall and weight 279 lbs, if the OP had been 100% accurate on her logging and therefore only eating about 800-900 calories a day AND doing an hour of cardio AND weight…

Maybe, but, at the OP's height and weight, and if her diary logging had been very accurate then she should have lost weight even in just two weeks. Clearly it's not accurate given the chicken entries, no harm in getting in early and helping point out logging errors. Early intervention may help with later success. Besides,…

How tall are you? What do you weigh? How much do you want to lose? Is your diary open? Just a few questions to maybe help people give you an answer. But to be honest, unless there is something medically wrong with you - you are simply taking in more than you are putting out. Either by underestimating your food intake or…

We went at the end of 2015 on the deluxe meal plan. There wasn't any calorie info and to be honest, not that many "healthy" meal choices apart from breakfast when there were little pots of fruit, hard boiled eggs etc. So I just had a light-ish breakfast and then had at it for the rest of the day, no way I'm not making the…
