Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, after 3 months of my man claiming he's going to start eating better "next week", he finally went on a diet. What changed? I started eating healthy while trying for a baby. He is "supporting me" by getting me to do extra meal prep for him too. FML
Today, my husband told me that he thinks I am getting a little heavy and may need to lay off the junk food. The ultrasound is hanging on our fridge. FML
Today, it's my sixth month of working out 5 days a week, watching what I eat while my family eats like kings, and only losing 2lbs. It's also the day husband said he misses my 20 year-old body and no longer finds me attractive, but that's okay because he "loves me anyways and it's good to know where we stand." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I started our diet. After a long day of being held accountable for every calorie I ate, I went home to sneak a snack. My boyfriend came over to surprise me, and found me on the couch shoveling left-over Indian food into my mouth. FML
Today, I found out that my husband thinks I'm fat when I caught him slipping diet pills into my morning smoothie. FML
Today, I finished the first month of a diet and exercise program designed to help me lose weight. To keep myself motivated, I have avoided the scale the entire time. I weighed myself today. I've gained 6 pounds. FML
Today, I learned that my husband is attracted to obese, unhealthy women after celebrating my weight loss of 175lbs and improving my overall health. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, dieting is making me depressed and I'm so hungry. I don't even care about losing weight, but my boyfriend is and he's doing a low fat diet with me for my health, so I'm going to do the low calorie thing with him. I also feel like I'm not doing well enough in the gym and it's hurting so bad. FML
Today, I found out that my husband never actually took our new healthy lifestyle seriously when his coworker told me that now, instead of at the house, he keeps beer and cigars at his brother's house, and visits the Burger King drive through every day for lunch. FML

Men just lose it easier, it's ****** up, but for the most part true.

Some people have fast metabolisms, dont fret! Just do more cardio and maybe drink a protien shake in place of a meal if you want to gain muscle as well

#1: OP's talking about 1 pound over a couple days; that's too small a difference to guarantee it's not just water-weight and poop.
R2Y2 22
Its a 5 pound difference since she gained 3 and he lost 2. Over 4 days. My comment still stands
HelenLFC 27
Although, if she gains muscle, she'll put on weight too. Muscle is denser than fat.

Never replace a meal with a protein shake.. add a protein shake.
xlord 27
....also just drinking a protein shake won't gain you any muscle. You have to actually do weights or it will just turn into pure fat. If it were that easy to gain muscle then everyone would be ripped haha
R2Y2 22
Depends on the protien shake, and by meal i was thinking lunch or something. And of course, being fit requires effort As for muscle being denser than fat, absolutely, yes, but being heavy isn't necessarily unhealthy. Weighing 190 pounds from fat is drastically different than 190 from muscle :)

#53: Some shakes are actually specifically meal replacements and should, in fact, replace meals (1 if you want to maintain weight, 2 if you want to lose weight). Health is 80 percent nutrition, 20 percent exercise, and 100 percent mindset. Seriously, if you focus on becoming healthy... the weight will take care of itself. I am speaking through my own experience (both from my own journey of becoming healthy and from being a health and wellness coach) and the experience of so many others I have the great fortune to know.

Also, make sure you're not just looking at weight but body fat percentage. A person who weighs less does not automatically have less body fat. Sometimes their lack of weight equals a lack of muscle.

#2 is right, men lose weight differently than women, and women retain water more! So don't worry! Keep confident!

However that's a really fast metabolism for four days. I call bs
Danise_123 9
so not fair *sigh*

Probably because men like thick women not skinny muscular ones
5secondsofvvifi 21
It sucks, but it's true. It's due to women having more fat on their bodies for babies and birth, we just have to work a bit harder to get fit. Its just so much harder to lose weight. In health we learned that, for the most part, men don't really have to work for a flat stomach, just watch what they eat. It's so unfair:3

That cause women got the s*** side when it comes to genetics
vipirius 18
But women have boobs and everyone knows boobs are the best thing in the world.
xninix_fml 36
@14 Lol yeah we do, and that's part of the reason it's harder for women to lose weight faster. Unless they have a really great metabolism.
Just_A_Tree 20
Actually, #3, muscle is denser than fat, so if you do it right you could just gain weight. Genetic differences between genders doesn't do much to effect metabolism, it's genetics of your family. Obviously this gets way deeper than we're going to get here. But learn yourself on some Biology! And it's only been 4 days, give it some time
5secondsofvvifi 21
Actually 14, boobs aren't really that great. They're only good because they are squishy. That is why I like my boobs. Boobs give a ton of back pain and most the time are different sizes, and that's really annoying. But squishy overrules all.
devildog562 33
Men tend to lose weight faster then women. Keep to it and I'm sure things will pay off.
cp399 14
Or maybe she's been eating junk food more than he has, lol.
MattM95 16
Just keep trying OP:) If you give up now you won't progress at all. So just keep trying your best, in time you will see better results.
ilovefall10 21
I read somewhere that snacking a lot can help with metabolism. So, basically, if you try to stop eating often, then you're just going to gain weight, but don't quote me on that.
BeastyMcbeast 19
It's when you eat multiple small meals a day rather than 2 big meals (breakfast and dinner) and 1 small meal (lunch) a day.

howard007 18
You can also try fasting which is what im trying, metabolism is just your body naturally burning off fat, but you you have a calorie deficiency your body will need to convert fat to calories.
wilber245 16
Theres always tape worms,
KhaleesiDannie 26
That actually happened to me on accident I lost a lot of my appetite and started eating waaay less then I went to the doctor and I had gained 35 pounds so I started eating more regularly and drinking water and I lost 55 pounds
Mauskau 35
How the hell do you not notice that you gained 35lbs?!
brasiliano 16
#55 3lbs not 35lbs
Miss_Moody23 19
#60, #55 was referring to #41's comment.
Loomunati 20
Yeah eating more often keeps your metabolism going. Not eating sends your body into starvation mode and you can actually gain weight.
FroggerForReal 11
that's just another motivation to get healthy and fit. And try to compete with your husband so you can lose more weight together
BeastyMcbeast 19
The average persons weight fluctuates 1-3 pounds everyday. Don't count it as weight gain unless its more than that Op. Don't worry about it too much
iAmPaul 49
Keep at it! You'll start seeing results eventually! Not everyone's the same, so it might take longer for you to make progress. And hey, those extra pounds might be water weight, or even muscle mass! ;)
Enslaved 36
Well, do it for your health also! And stop looking at just the scale numbers. You can thin up and still stay the same weight if fat is converted onto muscle?
AnOriginalName 19
Fat can't be converted into muscle. Adipose tissue (fat) and muscle tissue are composed of two completely different cell types, and the body has no means of converting between the two cell types.
jenjen2633 17
#27 The idea that the weight of the fat burned and the muscle gained equals each other still gets across. Therefore the persons weight stays the same
jenjen2633 17
Sorry, my first comment didn't show up so I reposted. Then it appeared.
AnalAssassin1 14
Yeah true #27. But when most people say "convert" they mean burn fat and gain muscle instead.
