Spooky. Showering after working out tonight and I was washing my face. My wedding ring is now so loose that I took a skin graft from the tip of my nose. I'm not sure if I should class it as a NSV... B)

Just to reinforce what's been said above - I'm 52 going on 53 and I'm losing 1.5 - 2 lbs per week doing what MFP tells me and weighing my food. Just trust CICO; the process works. And I have a pituitary tumour which has dicked my growth hormone, thyroid hormone and adrenal hormone output. If I can do it, anyone can.

Yeah, a bit of both. The final track in the new Les Mills RPM release is a climb with flywheel-almost-stopping resistance. It broke on the upstroke. The shoes are 5 years old and have had some hammer from me so probably cumulative fatigue as well, as you say. The cleats came with the shoes...

The last time I tried apple cider vinegar, my farts smelt amazing. Coincidentally, "apple cider vinegar" is an anagram of "delivering ace parp". There's a lesson there for all of us.

Not sure why you've quoted me here...

That caused me some problems with the coffee-keyboard interface.

Here's a positive comment for you amongst all this negativity - they positively don't work.

I suspect there might be some confusion here because the saying is usually that "muscle weighs more than fat" and not "fat weighs more than muscle" which is what was stated by @dfwesq. (Although "muscle is denser than fat" is what is actually meant).

This. ^^^ You have to be willing to explore your socksuality.

One again I find myself socksually frustrated.

Sticky!

And don't go back until at least 2 days after you start pooing a good solid stool again.

Good grief no. To think that height and bodyfat distribution is genetic but deny that the ease with which someone puts on weight or loses weight isn't is bizarre. Especially since there's already convincing published evidence that there are genetic factors in weight gain/loss. It might not be a major factor (it's down to…

To add to this... Whilst in our recent history, there were situations where people ended up emaciated (you know what I'm talking about here), no-one has ever said that they progressed to emaciation at the same rate.

So let's get this straight. You've searched the forums. You've read relevant posts. You've come up with a plan based on CICO. You haven't mentioned apple cider vinegar or rubbing onions on your head. You haven't said you're going to eat "clean" or "healthfully" because sugar. Are you some sort of freak?
-
Kind of. But there's no way I'd ever be as funny as "Rub an onion on your head to cure baldness because it increases testosterone just google it dude". So you win.

This poster is absolutely correct. If we lived on Planet Bizarro.

Groovy.

Yeah but there are other pills they can take for that, right? Right?
-
The bolded bit^^ Whilst we can be reasonably accurate on the CI part of the equation, the CO part is a bit of a crapshoot. That's why many of us start out at eating 50-75% of our exercise calories. It's not based on anything other than being a good place to start. We recognise that HRMs, gym machines and so on tend to…

You do. It's a tiny amount but you do. Calories are required to sweat more. It's an extra metabolic process that needs energy. You need to read my post that @AnvilHead quoted. As I said, in the grand scheme of things it won't lead to weight loss but it's not strictly correct to say you don't burn more calories. ETA: And…

I agree and I wasn't advocating their use. Just commenting on the "weight loss" question.
-
To be absolutely correct about this, you will burn more calories wearing a sauna suit because your body is doing more metabolic work by making you sweat to cool you down. In a similar way, keeping your body warm burns more calories when you shiver. But the amount of extra calories you burn will be tiny and get lost in the…

The chili-flavoured ones are especially effective.
