I'm
below that now, but only by 3 lbs. There would be nothing left of you
if
you lost all that weight.


Try not to be offended, but at 5'1" and 127 pounds, you are a tub of
lard.

I stripped misc.fitness.weights off this, cuz I figure that's where the
guy's posting from, and I'm not trying to incite trolls.

In any group in life, clubs neighborhoods on the internet or siblings
etc statements go from uninformed and rediculous to very informed and
correct. The only bad opinions are those from overly critical people
and those people that try to stifle other people. There is something
to learn in most posts even if you do not agree and they are
crossposted.

Thankyou to everybody for the information.

You are obviously one of those style over substance folks. So logic won't
work on you. But I could offer up advice that could maim or kill you. And
that would be OK. As long as I was nice.

Some people deserve to be stifled. Because their bad advice can hurt people.
But in your perfect world, nobody ever gets hurt.

What is it like in your extremely sheltered existence?? Do they eever let
you go outside of the wall?

This, my lord and ladies, is the voice of wisdom !

Hi,

I am a 39 year old woman at 5'1" and 140 lbs. My doctor said I should
wegh under 100 lbs to be good size with my small stature. I begin to
eat under 1000 kkal a day Monday 6-13. I use a postal scale to verify
all quantities, and only water is not recorded. I used a elliptical
trainer 6 days a week and it reads 250 kkals when I stop. Every other
day I a;lso have a triner push me on universal machines until I am
exhaused. About 90 minutes. This seems liek a lot of work and little
food and I am 140 lbs still. I don't understand.

Hi Jeannie,

I had pretty much the same experience. You have gotten some very good
replies, and all made good points. One of the reasons I attribute so
little loss was because if you diet very very stringently all of a sudden,
your body thinks it is starving and economizes. You then lower your
metabolism, and this encourages the "yo yo" syndrome of gaining and losing
weight over and over, usually escalating your weight over time.

I would suggest forgetting about the scale and work more on establishing a
pattern of eating and exercising that you can live with for the rest of
your
life, and ultimately the loss will happen, though it may be more slowly
than
for some others.

That is what I decided to do when I ran into the same problem. Another
issue is that I am on medications that weight gain and water retention are
two of the side effects listed.

Stick with it, don't get discouraged, and keep on going. It'll happen if
you stick with it.

You are probably retaining water due to the stress of exercise. Keep
at it and the weight will start coming off soon.

I know you have said that you weigh everything, but EVERYONE cheats,
even me.

And you shouldn't be working out till you are exhausted. Just workjout
till you throw up then stop

Ray

ps. If you do the maths you should have lost about 4.5 pounds over the
fortnight, so you've probably retained 4.5 pounds of water.

And you are obviously an arrogant, bigmouth, intolerant, assuming and
controlling jerk. I don't want to know what it is like in your
hostile critical world. I have a life and won't let you take energy or
time from mine! I wish I could stay and chat with you, but unlike
you, I'm busy. :-)

Actually, I am none of those things.

But you don't care, do you?

Hi Jeannie,
The one thing that I find over and over is that from time to time, the first
few weeks can be disappointing.

Rest assured, however, that it is impossible (big, bold, extra font) to
continue to work out more and eat less, without losing weight.

Read that again, because it is very important...

According the WW, I'm just fine -- thanks for making my 60 lb weight loss
insignificant. Go back under the rock you came from.

Or, you're not fat, you're just short for your weight.

A comment from a total stranger on Usenet can do that to you? Wow. You don't
suppose that lack of self-esteem is more of the root problem than your
weight?

Go back under the rock you came from.

OK. If I find some extra self-esteem under there, I'll send it out for you.

According to the CDC you are, too. Given the choice between taking the word
of an etiquette-challenged stranger on the internet or a medical authority
that boasts at least of couple of degrees on staff, I'm pretty clear the
direction I'm going.
