Oh my gosh Doll face me too! I lost the first 45 pounds easily, now I'm stuck at 149 with NOTHING coming off!

do you think everyone loses weight the same way?

...people... ....

Maybe that 40lbs she lost included her common sense and general ability to be a bit more informative, yo!

Good one!

Umm...maybe you already realize this, but that was against YOU, not anyone else.

No shit. & you think I'm going to reply back, say something mean & stoop down to their level? No thanks.

No need to be a bitch about it. I'm not the one attacking or making fun of you.

I know. I wasn't being a bitch, at all. Sorry if you took it that way.

Wow Puck, she's being mean to you, yo!

GOSH, WHO'S BEING MEAN TO ME, YO? POINT ME TO THE DRAMAZ! ;D

haha! Shall I point my finger? I thought it was bad manners to point yo! At least that's what I was told!

Watch what you eat and exercise?? REALLY!? I had nooooo idea that was the key to losing weight! ;)

I agree with Danielle..Its going to take time if you do it her way though. Iv been doing it the same way and in 3 months have lost 5lbs..its not much but im not really heavy to begin with just wanted to tone up...but it does work

Calories in vs calories out if you disagree, go to 4 catchup and watch the hospital about the fat people, then eat your hat.

That made absolutely no sense.

It made sense if you live in Britain and watched the obesity/gastric banding episode of the documentary 'The Hospital'.

But not everyone who reads this is from Britain, right?

And anyway, as you said in your other post about the episode itself, not every fat person is lazy. Some of us bust our asses to lose weight. We eat right, we exercise regularly, we burn more calories than we take in, and yet we STILL have difficulties losing weight. So OBVIOUSLY "calories in vs calories out" isn't foolproof. For many, there are other things that cause them to keep the weight on no matter how many more calories they burn. As I said on the first page, it's not as cut and dry and some people obviously seem to think.

No, I wasn't suggesting everyone would understand Transit's comment. I was just explaining for those who couldn't have seen the show.

And of course it isn't fool proof. There are many things which can affect a person's ability to lose weight, such as their metabolism (I know I find it harder to lose weight now that I'm getting older and my metabolism isn't quite so fast!) and health problems such as an underactive thyroid. Still, the general principle is true. Although there are other factors too (and the girls in the documentary were just lazy).

I understand that. It just annoys me when people give advice like "eat less, exercise more, that's THE WAY to lose weight", when there are so many people doing EXACTLY that and they just don't lose weight.

I agree. But I think the point is that Danielle was rather stating the obvious. And Bottom didn't ask HOW to lose weight, she asked for an online diary to record her diet... the fact that she even asked for such a thing suggests she is well aware of the calorie in vs calorie out concept. ;D

And I watched half of that episode of The Hospital (it was on too late for me to watch the end :(). It was pure brilliance. So tongue in cheek. They really showed those girls for being the lazy, I-take-no-responsibility-for-my-own-health types that they are.

(For the benefit of anyone who didn't see it, I'm not saying everyone who is overweight is lazy and takes no responsibility... but the girls featured in the show were quite happy to eat and eat and not even TRY and lose weight themselves, instead they just wanted a surgeon to give them a gastric band, and take the easy way out)

yes, yo, red frag, i am aware of how to lose weight, i am not a retard ;D i am looking for a good diary site to record my progress! however my plight seems to be falling by the bloop wayside, alas! :(

WELL, THE 'SLIMMING BOTTOM' BLOOP DIARY IDEA IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, YO! ;D BLOOPERS WILL GIVE YOU LOTS OF SUPPORT. YOU MIGHT JUST HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR NAME TO 'NON-RETARDED SLIMMING BOTTOM' TO WEED OUT THE 'MY CLEVER TIP IS EAT LESS && EXERCISE MORE!' TYPES! YOU SHOULD CALL THE DIARY TITLE 'THE PLIGHT OF POOR BOTTOM' AND THE LOCATION 'THE BLOOP WAYSIDE' TO ADD AN EMO ANGLE - THEN YOU'LL GET MORE HUGZ AND STUFF! ;D

OH YES, I WILL DO THAT YO! TOTALLY, YOU SHOULD MAKE ME A SLIMMING BOTTY LAYOUT!

YOU SHOULD TOTALLY SUBMIT SOME SEXY BOTTOM PICS, AND I'LL MAKE A LIMS COMPETITION, WHERE PEOPLE HAVE TO COLOURISE YOU AND MAKE YOU FAT AND THEN MAKE YOU SKINNY, YO, AND PUT CAPTIONS BY YOU! THE WINNING PHOTOSHOPPED SKINNY BOTTOM CAN SERVE AS YOUR INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION!

One woman even purely lived on take aways!
