Lose weight on the feeding tube diet!!!!

[fireheart17]

Or they do it and don't lose weight for some incredibly strange reason. >.> (like apparently making severe swaps results in weight GAIN rather than weight LOSS (and I don't mean swapping a large french fries for a small, I mean swapping French fries for a salad or skipping the entire meal and just having a salad)

Some people will gain weight temporarily - I'm not one of them, but some people won't lose anything for a bit and then start to lose. The end result is energy in versus energy out - if you consume less than you spend, you'll use some fat reserves. There will be no directly linear path to the end weight, but it's fairly simple maths.

Some of the gained weight or lack of losing (ie staying the same) comes from building muscle, if someone is exercising. I have gained muscle.

Proper diet and exercise will get you to the goal, and help you stay that way. Or at least thats what I was taught. You just gotta find what works for you. Feeding tube ain't gonna be healthy, but I guess when you want to be a "perfect" bride.... FFS.... I hate this society.

Oh don't you worry, I've found what works: swimming twice a week (when uni and/or pool functions don't get in the way) along with Zumba or similar for the rest of it. (about 20-30 minutes) I'm also studying to gain my swim teacher certifications, which requires me to be active as well, so I'll get plenty of exercise out of that.

I hate the perfect bride thing too. Which is why my planned wedding dress requires me to be "not" perfect. I'm not wearing white (I'm no longer a virgin anyway ), I do not do fake tan and my shoes of choice are more than likely to just be a low heel in something or other.

One of the girls I went to school with was REAL adamant about having a white clutch purse for her "Somehing borrowed". I was just like "why not add a coin in your shoe too?"* (which I will be doing further down the track, except with a 20c piece instead of a sixpence )


*there's a missing line from the traditional "wedding" poem. The poem goes like this:

Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
and wear a sixpence in your shoe.

My sister did a dime in her shoe. Seems like that would be kinda uncomfortable, honestly.

Lay a Dr Scholl's pad over it, then
