I know. But then how do you explain the fact that I haven't lost a single pound in 40 days? I didn't even swap out my chocolate intake for anything else.

From what I can gather, you're saying you've been cutting calories big time and ramping up the workouts, yet the scale isn't moving and none of your measurements have changed. Is that the issue, or did I miss something while arguing with this amateur?
Spot on. My daily diet is pretty much exactly what I laid out, though, gotta admit, I've been sneaking in chocolate 😢
I'm working out way more than before—walking at least half an hour almost every single day. Still haven't lost a damn thing.
For Lent, I went 40 days without any chocolate.
Nothing.
Look, my weight isn't some massive crisis; I'm just trying to drop maybe 10 to 15 pounds. But still, I figured after four months of being active and eating right, something would actually happen.
I've heard there are people with thyroid issues where their hormones are all messed up, making it impossible to lose weight—or even causing them to gain it?

My bad.
So what, you want the mods to split this thread in two—one for the actual topic and one just for the bickering?
Or maybe you want us all kicked out en masse? Or at least some of the 😉
Nah, no biggie. It's fine. I was just joking. 🙂
You guys totally ruined my thread 😢

How's your clothes fitting? Still the same width? You might've burned some fat and built up muscle. Muscle is way denser than fat, so even if the scale hasn't moved, your body composition probably improved.
Clothes fit exactly the same. 😢
I’m honestly lost here. This is basically my daily routine since my office cafeteria doesn't give me much of a choice:
Breakfast is at 8:30. Usually just some cereal with yogurt, maybe some fruit later on.
Lunch hits at 1:00 PM. I’ll grab a green salad or some cabbage, one or two slices of bread—maybe with jam or some cheese and ham—and some fruit.
Around 6:00 PM, I’ll have a piece of meat and a salad, though half the time that doesn't happen and I just end up snacking on four pieces of fruit, like bananas, apples, or oranges.
That’s pretty much it. Same thing almost every single day. 😢
No coffee, no smoking. I hit an aerobics class about three times a week and I walk a ton.
Still stuck at the exact same weight I was back in December.
If this counts as eating "a lot," then I don't know... because cutting back is just NOT happening for me.

Alright, look, I know I just started this thread and honestly, we probably don't need more topics like this, but I have to get this off my chest. Not looking for advice or anything, just curious about the theory behind it...
Does the body actually adapt to certain foods? Like, if I've been eating chocolate almost every single day for five years, and then I suddenly quit for a few months—even though everyone knows chocolate is fattening—would I still lose weight? Or could I actually gain some?
Same thing with a diet heavy on meat and potatoes with hardly any fruit or veggies. If I flipped the script and ate mostly plants and barely any meat or starch, would the weight still drop?
I know it sounds pointless, but still... I just want to be 100% sure that junk food is bad, no matter what else is going on.😉

Should we just spin up a dedicated Weight Loss subforum?
Right now, there are already four different threads on the Health board covering it.
Lower ab workouts
Quick question about losing weight
Weight loss exercises

I think I got mixed up here.
There's continuous pill use. Basically: you finish one pack and start the next immediately. No period.
Doctors say it's safe, though it might mess with your head, so they usually suggest taking a two or three month break every six months.
Then there's the Plan B thing, used when you have sex and didn't protect yourself—condom breaks, he promised he'd pull out, the diaphragm fails... whatever.
That stuff is heavy hormones and you definitely shouldn't be using it every month. 😲
What were you thinking of?
EDIT: If female athletes are actually popping Plan B like candy, no wonder everyone's kidneys are trashed. ☕ I can't even imagine what that does to fertility...
I thought we were talking about the emergency pill. Clearly, I was wrong. Thanks, placidgardener19.🙂

So you're saying everyone's feeling sick and throwing up. Hmm. I know a few girls who took The Day After and felt totally fine. So maybe... just a thought... maybe the ones actually getting pregnant are the ones getting sick, while the ones who didn't get pregnant but panicked and took it are feeling okay?
Guess I'm just talking nonsense here 😁

Man, I can't wait. And hey, I've actually never been to the Lisinski. Is it one of those fancy spots? Like, am I gonna need to break out the heels and a dress or what?
