I'M GETTING FAT (oh no!)

Unfortunately yes. You need to get into the habit of eating less (no second helpings). I did this recently (not deliberately - it was connected with being unwell with a back problem...fetching food became a chore), and my weight has started going back down - reversing a long trend.

I might go today again. yes although it was thursday when I went last and my limbs are still stiff and sore.

And do NOT get discouraged by the lack of immediate returns. Also, do NOT get overcocky from the small signs of progress - "Oh, look, I have the hint of a six-pack forming in my gelatinous belly; where's that Monte Cristo?"

and lasagna with loads of cheese and tomato sauce ... beef enchiladas buried under cheese ... i gotta cut out the cheese i think

Thank you modern science. He also told me to stay away from the ghetto

i got sick and couldn't eat solid food for a little while and half my fat went away. it was kind of nice, except for the rest of the being sick.

I just recently won the weightloss competition at work but have since regained the kilos plus more, what with the introduction of profiteroles on the christmas menu (you can fit a whole one in your mouth and still continue walking normally, the same cannot be said about cake)and alongside the influx of mince pies into the supermarkets. also, college has ended, so I'm moving less. is there a way to lose this weight whilst reading/sleeping? my sister says 'no'.

Read mucky books / dream mucky dreams.

stop eating

profiteroles? Casseroles that come with your annual Christmas bonus profit? Pro-fit-roles, some kind of edible good that is ostensibly fitness promoting? Some kind of yum pastries? I've pretty much only heard of break 'n' bake cookies & Hamburger Helper so, like my ground beef, you're gonna have to help me with this one.

Cream puffs filled with ice cream instead of whipped cream. And doused in chocolate.

get one of those vibrating things you put on your ass to make it smaller

i dont know i'm having an eating situation myself lately, i can't stop. it's messy. i don't think there's a solution, until you just stop (the messy part, not the eating), and figure out what works for you. but i'm 24 and my metabolism is off the hook, i really don't know how i'll feel about this in 10 years. downhill completely i suspect. terrifying.

i need to lose about 12 kilos. :-(((

Being fat isn't so bad as long as you actually keep somewhat active and aren't eating total shit.
I've always been pretty fat, but I've seen pictures of my Ukrainian forbears and in spite of being destitute peasants who couldn't afford butter they were all quite hefty. So I eat a lot of beets and sour cream and thresh wheat occasionally while wearing a babushka and I feel alright.

Jesus Stevie, you just made, carried, and gave birth to a baby. Don't be hard on yourself? And I bet you've got a smaller weight than me anyway (being 5' 9" does give me some nice weight gain/loss leeway tho).

Scientists Say Just Standing Up May Be as Important as Exercise:

In most cases, exercise alone, according to a team of scientists at the University of Missouri, isn't enough to take off those added pounds. The problem, they say, is that all the stuff we've heard the last few years about weight control left one key factor out of the equation. When we sit, the researchers found, the enzymes that are responsible for burning fat just shut down.

Get a lectern, or putter around.

That's pretty interesting. I gained about 60 lbs when I switched from retail to a desk job. I quit smoking at the same time so that compounded the problem. But I'm hardly ever upright these days. I'll have to give it a shot.

despite me now being 21, my mother took a special walk across the supermarket to inform me about the calorie content in an individual mince pie, what with me just loading the trolley with 12. This was made all the worse by having to earlier abandon an H&M trouser purchase as 32" just wasn't going to happen. I think losing 3 kilos should do it, but now is harly the time of year in which to try.

it's true standing up is rough.

i knw, i'm not really trying yet, i don't think. january, i can get thinner again.

this one place, the gourmet tart company, can be held to account for my impending obesity.
I saw a woman getting a calliper test on the tv last night, I fear that they will soon be able to conduct such a test on me.

Try being the kind of person that has to pace when making decisions. Make sure to wear sensible shoes.

right! my pacing definitely helps.

Get a dog so you have to walk the dog.

I have a finch, which requires too little a movement. I once saw someone walking a rabbit, which has its virtues

over the past four months i've lost around 25 pounds, thanks to going to the gym every day and doing 45 minutes of cardio, as well as weight training, and eating between 1200 and 1500 calories per day, including booze. i've pretty much cut saturated fat and processed food out of my diet. i've got another 10-15 pounds to go before i'll be really happy with my weight, but nevertheless, it's totally possible to lose weight and not feel like you're starving yourself or exercising 24 hours a day. i actually rather like running now.

how much is 25 pounds in stones?

Three large rocks a cobble and a pebble.

14 pounds in a stone

cheers, yeah i could do with losing 25 of those alright.

the fact that i'm too lazy to go look up how many pounds are in a stone doesn't bode well, i feel.

today's actually going well, I didn't have chocolate for breakfast. It is quite likely today wont mean another kilo gained.
