Weight Loss Extravaganza

[silke]

I'll join you guys I wanted to lose 5 pounds and instead ended up gaining 5 so now I have 10 to lose. Next week all bets are off though since it's a holiday week and I'll have to attend a few dinners.

maybe girls need more reassurance about this stuff but only because well damn if fen made a thread like this and DIDN'T get some reassurance it would mean that she must be fat because otherwise it would just be expected. dumb.

Or may be those weren't evaluative statements but people simply expressing their concern for Fen's well-being by stating that she "looks fine" as she is, since 20 pounds is a significant amount of weight to lose and would place a lot of stress on her body.

Why did this thread turn into being about reassuring people of things?

because lungs is here to misconstrue your thread into her rant about the plight of the "females" as if guys don't ever get comments about their weight

"rant not needed..." pompous ass. In case you didn't notice fen liking lungs' posts, your arrogance was rather more extraneous.

Because you deciding if a rant is needed or not is not pompous, or arrogant?

[FDG]

You're just being a dick for the sake of it, Mr. Self Centered.

In case you didn't notice, it's not a competition; it's people with similar goals helping motivate each other. That's a universal human phenomenon and is not necessarily a competitive one.

They are having "a race", according to the original post. Need I say more?

what about jim, lol? yeah i suppose he really should do it.

edit:

Never seen a pic of Jim showing him full-body so yeah...nothing to do with his gender, obviously.

My assertions have evidence, namely that the OP expressed sentiments in alignment with them. This is about her, isn't it?

Ok so its a race, but it's just for motivational purposes, not for competing senses of self esteem.

[Absurd]

Get them, Gilly. They want to fascistically take away every woman's right to diet.



Sound the alarm and release Krakken, I mean Tcaud. Death to conservative psychopathic fascists.

Absurd, you're my favorite.

This is very important. Basically:

- No late night snacking
- No long periods of starvation (try to snack with fruit)
- Lots of water
- Lots of smalls meals > Few big meals

Absurd, you're my favorite.

Oh really?

[Gilly]

Oh really?

Would I lie to you?

[Absurd]

Would I lie to you?

Ye, I think you would, wouldn't you?

[Gilly]

Ye, I think you would, wouldn't you?

Absurd, I'm hurt...I thought...I thought I could live over you forever, and you would never expose me. I trusted you.

I am so hurt.

I know two women (and only two I think) who never in their lives worried about their weight. One of them is my sister and the other a close friend. They have gained weight during particular times (moving out of the country and getting adjusted to new food, pregnancy, etc.) and never once even worried about it. They just kept eating what they wanted to eat and the weight came off again. Gained a little after 35 and considered it normal and didn't worry about it (they are both active, but they don't exercise for the sake of burning calories or building muscle). <3

Do I sound envious??

This exercise has turned up some interesting findings.

I havent ate any real fiber or fruit for 5 days.
I only consumed between 50 and 66% of recommended.calories.
I still struggle to find the time to exercise
I need to buy scales before I can measure my weight

Yolo.

I'd join with, but I need my fat to survive unemployment.
