Weight Watcher's Thread

But I thought it WAS easy Blue. I thought it was just calories in less than calories out equals weight loss.

I'm glad that you are finally conceding that there are other factors that have an influence on people's choices and ability to maintain an ideal weight and a healthy lifestyle.

If I recall I said it was 'simple'. I also recall that you then started to argue about dictionary definition of words like simple and simplistic.

As I also recall, you recently confessed to a bit of a weight problem, which I don't have. Maybe if you concentrated on your lifestyle rather than being pedantic about peoples use of words you would find control of your own problem easy.

Oh dear, how cutting. You've sunk to arguments ad hominem. Oh well.

Oh well, indeed, I seem to have sunk to your level. Talk about people in glass houses throwing stones!!

"Weight" a minute guys! No need to "pound" each other. "Scale" down your argument a bit

I can't eat olives - they're FULL of calories.

Let's agree that we disagree and leave it at that.

Found this on the BBC web site

To Kevin Langley's sister (Your Letters, Thursday)- another weight loss tip is to subtract your birth weight - after all, you've never actually put that on. Luckily I was a hefty baby and so can subtract over 9lbs from my present weight, slipping me into my ideal BMI range.

So, there's another half stone gone.

I've been doing weights in the gym and put weight on. Can I discount muscle weight from my overall weight?
