Today, I received my 12-month diet plan from an online coach. It said, “Eat less calories lol.” I just lost £175. FML

Coach Class
Today, I was on the phone with my diet coach. I was telling her how I lost 3 pounds this week. I was saying this while eating a bag of chips, a beer in my hand and cooking a 3-meat pizza. 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

Muscle mass?
Today, after drastically changing my diet, going to the gym regularly, avoiding excess sugar and carbs, upping my protein, I’m still as fat as ever. In fact I weighed myself this morning, and I’ve gained 12lbs in 2 weeks. FML

Don't attempt this
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

You must conform!
Today, my personal trainer fired me. Why? Because I wanted to focus on strength training, not weight loss, and refused to track my carb intake or fasting hours or "hold off on carbs til the optimal time of day." Nice to know I'm not allowed to be satisfied with my own weight. FML

Mixed signals
Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML

Today, I was online looking up ways to lose weight, get thinner and be healthier, all the while eating a slab of brownie that was half the size of my head. FML

Healthy mind in a healthy body
Today, I started a diet to lose the 20lbs I put on during quarantine. It was also the day my body decided the diminished food intake means I'm trying to starve it to death, and must be punished with a horrible migraine. That's what I get for trying to be healthier. FML

Today, I received a box in the mail from my mom which I assumed was a care package. It was a scale to encourage me to lose weight. FML

**** your "beach body" noise
Today, my daughter expressed wanting to lose weight so I took her to a licensed dietician nutritionist to get her a healthy eating plan, and even made her an appointment with a personal trainer to get her on track. I walked in on her eating a whole box of laxatives, because "this way is faster." FML

Well a) it's not completely false and b) now you have 175 pounds less to spend on unhealthy food! If you squint really hard it's a win - even if just in the sense that you got a good life lesson in why maybe this shouldn't be done online, but in person with someone who has a contract for their services and what they entail.

It’s a good joke for an American familiar with the British unit of currency, but for everyone else, it’s a joke that’s ruined by the ******* metric system!

Demand a refund, the coach is obviously a fraud! It should be “fewer” calories!!!! The “lol” is a nice touch, though.

It's not an FML if it works. Try it for six months and get back with us if it doesn't work.

Demand a refund. If the coach refuses, go to the company they work for. If they don't work for a company, then file a complaint to one of the organizations that they have certifications through. There's a reason most of them have a Code of Ethics and it includes being professional. They will revoke their certification, and this person certainly deserves it.
