Sick of being Fat

[stringvest]

33 inches lost, sadly only a stone lighter, still resisting that diet lark.

 

What about the other boob? ;)

[lifetime fan]

I've lost 2 stone in 3 months so far, another stone possibly a stone and a half and I'd be more than happy.

How d'you manage that?

No beer, cut out the shitty foods (not that I really ate many), cut down on cheese, out on the bike and playing the unmentionable every week.

I hate you.

Quietly slips away out of thread.

That's a great effort....... but why is it so much easier for men?

Why is it easier?

 

When you're quite a bit over weight the first stone is easy for blokes and women, each stone thereafter takes more graft.

It isnt but it seems women think that and thats their biggest problem.

 

The mind is a powerful weapon when used both for and against things and it seems men generally use it more positively than women.

Maybe men are more disciplined?

Oooh,controversial.

It was a question, not a statement of fact Vlad.

 

I do think there is some merit in it though.

[Champ]

Men say 'I need to shift a few pounds' and go to the gym/ stop drinking for a bit and the weight just falls off. I exercise and put on weight?

[VladimirIlyich]

I think a lot of women are influenced by all the shite in the media,fad diets,fad exercise regimes and seem to not be able to think for themselves and always want 'help' when its something you have to do on your own and over a period of time to get results.

 

Simple things like cycling and playing sport regularly are things that most women wouldnt even dream of doing yet these things will make the weight fall off.

Men have more testosterone thus more muscle, more muscle means you get to use more calories.

It may be muscle and its not how much you weigh but how you look at that weight.

I reckon that's a defeatist comment to start with to be honest Champ.

 

As for your last point I'd say your body fat ratio is pretty low. Are you sure you're not developing muscle?

[Champ]

Is that not what happens though, as you have demonstrated yourself?

 

Maybe some of it is muscle...maybe I just eat too much

[Jairzinho]

What did you weigh, LF?

 

Two stone is quite a lot to lose.

It doesn't 'just fall off' though does it? It comes off if I stick with it, not have loads of treats because I've done well so far today etc I'm not saying this is you Champ but it's a hell of a lot of women.

 

Maybe that is the difference, blokes only try to lose weight when they actually want to and are prepared to do something about it. Ergo you don't get loads of blokes talking about wanting to lose weight and failing. They're either happy overweight drinking and eating what they want or do something about it.

At my heaviest I went up to 16.5

Sadly, it is what you weigh (not just admittedly).....World of a Woman for you

It does seem to with some men, doesn't it.....I feel like I'm failing here and you are absolutely right about loads of women that go on and on about dieting and 'being good' and are doing nothing of the sort.....drive me mad....but I don't think that's me and you're right I'm not wanting to lose loads of weight I just think I should lose more for the exercise I do

Yeah, but you are 7 foot 5.

Why weigh yourself though? As a bloke if I manage to get my stomach flat again (no guarantee of this) I don't care what I weigh.
