(Part 2) (while still exercising but not as crazily) I eventually got flabby and upset with myself. My husband who is a fit strapping Scotsman who is relaxed and yet motivation, eating well and normally seems to come naturally (and what I admire him for) felt so disconnected with my lack lustre diet and movement at one…

As this massive thread has established everyone responds differently to help (wanted or unwanted). Some need a nag, some just sometimes want a friendly/supportive nudge to come their way (ie not a nag), some respond badly to someone to interfering, some have a lightbulb moment. Everything people recommend is anecdotal and…

@kgeyser we're on the same page!

I've had it all really. When fat, overweight, chubby I get the toxic kind of treatment. Like professionally or in sports lots of remarks how I can never do something or achieve something because I'm "not built that way" or not lithe or "husky" or "strong" - even though I run marathons, triathlons do roller derby and do…

Running, fell running, spinning ....

Because it's just that, a diet, not a sustainable way of life. As with any "diet" whether it ends up being paleo, primal, Dukan, raw food, weight watchers, 5:2 etc it's all comes down to, in the end, a calories in vs calories out for weight loss/gain/maintenance. It is simple science. Losing weight is difficult enough for…

Considering how it seems totally wrong for your lifestyle and what you're giving up, I don't see why you're looking to do paleo. Plus that being said, why not just do the even more simple method of calories in vs calories and eat whatever you want ... :#

God damn, this is excellent

Ah ok!

I'm genuinely not sure though, it wasn't being rude, it's just similar to another thread that's on here.

Still unsure if this is a trolling thread or it's genuine ... I've gone full circle on MFP

Not a teacher but I am on the go and working from 6 til 6. Biggest tip, especially if you seem to "grab on the go," is to ALWAYS have snacks and packed lunches on hand. Always have protein with your snacks or meal which can be consumed quickly if you don't get to sit down and eat for a while and it'll keep you fuller for…

Never affected my weight loss, only thing I found is that it did make me, Erm, a bit bloaty and farty :#

Basically this!

You're only 3 weeks into it ... This kind of post is too soon. Plus, just weigh yourself once a week. Every day is too much and completely unhelpful as there's natural weight fluctuations. For example, you may ahem, are holding more one day in your intestines, colon et al. Just saying.

HUN, I have gone through and been the same. I have lost 100 lbs then put on 42lbs, lost again, then put on again. I never gorged my way back, I just didn't log, bother restrict myself as much as I did and it slowly crept back. It IS tiring and it seems impossible to lose it again but you will get there and you can do it…

I am reading this differently to you. Yeah, you can't be upset with someone for not wanting to lose weight. You do it for yourself and for your health. But at the same time, especially when you're in a partnership or whether it is a family member, you do have every right to speak in an appropriate and sensitive manner to…

The snoring issues she is pointing out, especially in context of his weight, suggest sleep apnea which isn't just "everyone snores." Sleep apnea is when the walls of the throat narrow or collapse and restricts breathing, in some cases breathing stops altogether for various amounts of time. This is very dangerous for those…

The biggest problem here and the OP doesn't seem to claim responsibility for is that the claim — "The science of weight loss and why it's unhelpful" is that there is absolutely no citation of scientific research or points and further citation to debunk it - which is what the click baity headline of the post was meant to…

I've found over the last 10 years that the only time I crave anything or binge uncontrollably was when I cut something out altogether or told myself I can never have something. It also meant that (as a human) when I did have something like a taste of something or a couple of Doritos chips, I didn't know how to stop.…

Cool, just interested as this may work for me on the weeks where I'm travelling for work / business conferences etc.

What's the usual calculation for this? Ie how much do you usually eat on "normal" day and how much on a "fast" day. Ie what calculation do you use to find your normal day of eating that's tailored for you? I see the fast days are generally 500 calories but surely the normal days are dependent on your height, build etc

Sure, I didn't say you were a bad guy, only your response to my answer on someone's thread was a bit much. Anyhoos, it's NBD in the grand scheme of things! :) have a good day and hope you have a good 2016

While I use MFP for tracking and logging, the best thing I've found to keep me on track is to keep a little diary with you where for each weekly date you set yourself your goals and a little bit about how you feel. Sounds like a bit of an effort but I've found by setting weekly goals, tracking religiously, and writing down…

Unpredictable break times are the worst but as long as you keep within calorie allotments you should be fine. Just make sure you have a decent breakfast and keep snacks and packed lunches with you. Lots of protein rich snacks and meals are good for stopping hunger pangs and keeping you fuelled. Even havin boiled eggs in…

I don't see how being facetious is helping make a point. And also, if you are being lighthearted and not defensive, you'll see that I wasn't the original poster for saying "being crucified" nor did I say that I agreed it was crucifixion. I answered a question in a way that some people may not see. Everyone comes from all…

Other posters using WTF memes to belittle a personal choice on how they want their own body to look and are seeking advice from some people that may feel the same or are going through the same journey ?

Yep, absolutely. I lost over that in that time frame before and am same height.

When you said you got bloodwork done, did they specifically check for diabetes? When you get blood tests, you have to do very different and specific processes for hundreds of things. You don't just stick you blood in a machine and it pops out with all the results ... I just would check because I know 3 people who only…

Pretty much this. Yes, changing your lifestyle for a healthier life and weight loss is hard but it's a shame some people get suckered into these kind of scams. Mfp is free. It is simple calories in vs calories out tracking system. It does not charge you the earth and make you pay for placebo crutches to help with weight…
