Well, you know, except where exercise DOES burn more calories and can make you lose faster if you don't start eating more to compensate for it. So, other than being wrong, or at best misleading.

This is an unsafe goal. Time to re-evaluate it.

That was lovely. I take it back, Burt, THIS is the most romantic thing anyone has ever said.

This is the most romantic thing that anyone has ever said. It's truly beautiful.

You keep saying that you aren't interested, but your body is telling me differently. Bodies don't lie.

Okay, so I'm just going to spell it out for you. Look up there, see the bold? You are generalizing all women into one little group that fits your preconceived notion. FTR - I actually don't like 6packs on guys. I prefer a nice, pasty compie nerd, maybe he even has a bit of a belly. You know, guys like my husband. That's…

Whelp, and that's a wrap. I had always gotten a bit of a weird creeper vibe from you, just bits and pieces. There were hints of delusional thoughts. This thread here, it's made everything pretty clear. So, now we know.
-
Oh my goodness, this would be AWESOME! To be clear, I have counters that tell me that I DO burn that many calories, but after playing this weightloss game for almost 3 years, I can say with authority that they are optimistic. Big time.
-
Because it's not really true? Especially as OP is light. I mean, hell, I weigh 200 lbs., and the only way I'm going to burn that much on a walk is if it's a hike with elevation gain and I'm carrying a heavy pack (40 lbs or more). It would be nice if it was true, but alas, NO.
-
NOPE, not really. I have a thyroid issue that was finally diagnosed and could lose weight like a normal person. My relationship with food changed, yes, but I also got off my lazy rear and dug myself out of the pit of a sedentary lifestyle that I was in. I am the same person that I was 100lbs. ago. I was never in a shell,…

Meh. TBH, I don't think that I'll smell it much more than I do now. I mean, sometimes I can smell pot in my neighborhood (we live in a fairly wooded, ruralish area with a bunch of retirees), but it's just a whiff. The rules in the Corvallis area are pretty strict about where you can and can't smoke tobacco products, I…

It was passed in OR, it'll be legit in a few months. Just prior to the vote a bunch of new "medical" dispensaries opened up. They were getting ready for what we all knew was going to happen. Also, OUT for hugs from strangers. NO TOUCHING :mad: And, okay, while it's easy to say that losing weight doesn't buy happiness, I…

TY, Jof. I did work REALLY hard.

:sick: Err, I mean, "they aren't my favorite".

TY

But he burned 1300 using the elliptical? So, 1800 + 1300 = 3,100. Oh, maybe he IS undereating. You might be right about the cookies, though, that's an awful lot of sugar.
-
No offense, but have you had your thyroid checked?
-
I'm sorry, that's rude. If you don't have anything constructive to say... OP came in here looking for support and information. We are better than this, people.
-
Oh, so I DID lose 1.5 pounds of fat.
-
NO, I most clearly did NOT. I know that usually when you start a new diet, you lose a lot of waterweight at first. That he GAINED must mean that he probably lost water and gained a lot of fat. Like, 5 lbs. rather than the 2 on the scale.
-
I've lost 1.5 lbs. in 2 DAYS of accurate logging. Clearly your numbers must be off somewhere.
-
Well, duh, this is why everyone in the cold midwest are so super skinny, whereas all the people in milder climates are obese. That's just science, folks. Don't even get me started on how crazy thin all the Canadians are, it's so cold that they just eat butter all day and never exercise. They certainly never run in the snow…
-
Or, you know, people eat at a calorie surplus for a while and get obese? Either a small one over a long amount of time, or a big surplus for a short time. Or hell, a big surplus for a long time. Sure, it's more complicated than that. But the whole psychological end of it is pretty individual, and can be REALLY complex. You…
-
NO BTW, it's taken me 2.5 years to lose 100lbs. And I'm pretty dang pale. Just a totally unscientific anecdotal example to augment your totally anecdotal experience here in MFP land.
-
I'm your age, and 180 is not going to kill me. Not even close. It happens whenever I run uphill. Or "fast". Or, actually, probably at all as I haven't run in a couple of months.
-
Too true. If you are that freaked out about it, do what I did when I started: get a HRM so that you know that you aren't about to die when you are running. I found that it almost always feels much worse than it really is (at first). Running can just be really really really really really hard when you start. It is for…
-
This is wonderful, she sounds like she was an amazing woman. I'm sorry for your loss.
-
True. I'm going with some guy/girl in wherever trying to get interest in an offsite porn cam, from which OP can get monies. That's my guess and I'm sticking with it.
