Why aren't you losing weight?

[YourFutureEx]

[NamerOfStars]

Because 125 tons of debris is falling from space onto the planet every day, increasing the planet's gravity field and making me heavier without gaining an ounce, and the government decided that murdering Russians by funding the Ukrainian government is more important than space-exploration weight loss.

[HawkPerception]

I don't want to lose weight. I want to gain weight. I could use about 15 pounds of muscle, then I'm a happy camper. I'm pretty satisfied with where I am now in terms of definition, but I'd definitely prefer more size.

[CindyRuns]

Because I'm pretty much within a couple of pounds of being at a healthy weight given my height and body build.

[YourFutureEx]

Username checks out (hopefully)

[Apple1996]

Because I've been trying hard to gain weight 😆

[YourFutureEx]

Try adding an Apple1996 a day to your diet.

[nolabels]

I am losing weight.
Fast.
Too fast.
50 pounds in two months too fast.

[YourFutureEx]

Are you sure you aren't just undressing?

[nolabels]

I'm naked pretty much always, so...

[YourFutureEx]

Then you must be taking dumps.

[nolabels]

Yep., with not much going into the upper orifice to counter the volume of effluent exiting the lower passageway.

[Fireguy17]

I'm staying pretty much the same.

I just need to eat less and move more.

Could eat a bit healthier too.

[YourFutureEx]

Or just do 5 pushups every time you post an opinion

[Fireguy17]

that is a plan.

[exitseven]

I have been losing and gaining the same ten pounds since we had covid. I am getting serious about it again

[YourFutureEx]

Is it the same type of the weight you're losing and gaining?

[exitseven]

yes, I have an inch or so around my belly that hangs over my belt.

[OfMiceandMen]

I have lost a bit. Doing lots of physical work in the evenings helping other people do work around their houses. Like a paid workout.

[LiamJHayden]

I'm already at under 10% body fat, so I am not trying.

[YourFutureEx]

100lbs 10%bf or 200lbs 10%bf?

[Sonorous]

Because right now I'm bulking/trying to gain weight. I'm shooting for a lean bulk range of 250cals - 500cals extra per day or on average.

[Account]

Why should I? I dont want to go lower than 49 kg. 49 to 52 is the weight that is comfortable for me.

[ChinaGrove]

I'm losing, because eating is no longer appealing.

[YourFutureEx]

Try bananas

[sawno]

I am a good weight, I actually need to gain some trough muscle.

[OtterMan68]

the question should be: are you losing inches, getting more energy, and increasing physical endurance due to your exercise and nutrition, you're on the right track.

[DrPepper12]

Been waiting for this question!! In the 9 months I've been on Wegovy I've lost 41 lb!! It's a goddamn miracle drug!!

[Anonymous]

I am. I'm just not losing it that fast. And that's because apparently a couple years ago I developed low thyroid. Now they got me on levothyroxine and I'm losing the weight I gained in that time, albeit slower.

[ProbablyClueless]

I have been losing weight. But when I wasn't, it was because I was eating too many carbs

[on_my_knees]

The Goddess has not revealed her rigorous training program for me yet.

[YourFutureEx]

The goddess will reveal a lot more if you actually lose some weight

[Sharkstealth]

That's not a question anyone would ask me unless they are some sort of high impact fitness trainer ectomorph.

[YourFutureEx]

Guess I'm good enough eh?

[Agape93]

Because I'm currently eating lunch

[handsomelad70]

"Cause I'm lazy, and frankly, still outstandingly handsome.

[YourFutureEx]

Maybe it's only your bank balance...

[handsomelad70]

That, too...

[White_Swan_]

People who don't lose weight don't lose weight because it's hard to lose weight.

[YourFutureEx]

Git gud

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Because I didn’t take a dump yet!

[YourFutureEx]

Waiting for a perfect moment?

[AlexEfron]

Because I'm not a loser 😎🤣

[NathanDavis]

I don't need to

[YourFutureEx]

Are you single?

[NathanDavis]

at the moment, yes

[YourFutureEx]

Then you need to

[NathanDavis]

could you elaborate on that? lol

[idonotlikeyou]

He said you are fat.

[NathanDavis]

@idonotlikeyou thick, maybe...

[idonotlikeyou]

nothing to be proud of

[NathanDavis]

@idonotlikeyou not about pride though...

you might find out one day, lol

[idonotlikeyou]

@NathanDavis

I see that you take everything literally, at least when it concerns you. You lack a bit of distance from yourself. I suspect that weight issues might be contributing to this. Sometimes it's worth working on yourself rather than deceiving yourself and everyone around you.

[NathanDavis]

@idonotlikeyou people who suspect on others they really don't nothing about now... that's something to work on

seems like the distance between advice and self-realization has to yet be covered, here...

good luck with that (=

[idonotlikeyou]

@NathanDavis

Without certain information, the only thing we can do is suspect, guess, or assume the missing data. This is a natural mechanism of our brain. Denying its existence and usefulness will raise suspicions of yet another defense mechanism in the impeccable Mr. Davis.

[NathanDavis]

@idonotlikeyou to follow suspicion, even if leads to wrong... that's a need and a choice

not a defense mechanism

[idonotlikeyou]

@NathanDavis

Of course, one of the likely scenarios is that our assumptions or suspicions will turn out to be wrong. And it is completely natural to change them when evidence of their incorrectness emerges. But so far, there is no evidence that my assumptions are wrong. So the natural choice is to stick to them until better ones come along.

And I mentioned the defense mechanism in the context of your rejection of the usefulness of suspicions in situations where full information is lacking.

[NathanDavis]

@idonotlikeyou so.. how fat do you "suspect" that I am

and what's the basis for such guesstimate, or assumption...

[idonotlikeyou]

@NathanDavis

Forgive me, Nathan, but even if I make assumptions due to lack of data, it doesn't mean I'm a complete idiot trying to create a new reality. My assumptions are limited to stating that you are overweight without going into details about how much or why. I base this on your reaction to what the question author wrote and to what I wrote.

[NathanDavis]

@idonotlikeyou actually... you're kind of right

at least, according to the BMI standards I am, overweight...

[idonotlikeyou]

@NathanDavis

It doesn't surprise me that "I am kind of right."

Congratulations on your impressive height.

[NathanDavis]

@idonotlikeyou thank you, but I didn't do anything for it... lol

now, the athletic built... that's just the natural consequences of 25 years in recreational sports

[idonotlikeyou]

@NathanDavis

An athletic build does not mean crossing the line into being overweight. In bodybuilding, this is obviously normal, but those idiots stuff themselves with chemicals for unnatural muscle mass growth. With natural sports, or recreational, as you called it, without supplement support, the chance of overproducing muscles is zero.

I don't intend to play your parent or partner; all I'm doing is providing information and raising doubts. I can also throw out keywords like 'thyroid' or 'liver.' But what you do with this information is your decision and choice.

[NathanDavis]

@idonotlikeyou definitely not interested on overproduction, no... my body works for efficiency, not the looks at the mirror

about the rest... the doctors take care of that

[YourFutureEx]

BMI is useless. Use bodyfat%

[NathanDavis]

around 14% and it means nothing as well...

[YourFutureEx]

No. It means that it's impossible that you're fat. And you've a high BMI at 14% boyfriend means that your FFMI is good too.

Maybe you don't brush your teeth or you have a bad personality.

[NathanDavis]

I go to the dentist twice a year... just for routine, no work needed so far

as for personalities, that's a matter of perspective, I guess... lol

but, my personality was never an issue on any of my years lasting relationships... so let's keep guessing for now

[LaurenM1997]

That’s a bit harsh

[YourFutureEx]

Not harsher than the consequences of obesity

[Tuti-iMucize]

I'm doing it, I'm on a diet right now

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Pcos makes it harder

[Dnice1]

Because I don't need to lose weight

[lorenzomichael]

Probably because I’m not trying to lose weight.

[Anonymous]

Because I want to gain weight.

[Knightwatch27]

I don't need to.

[YourFutureEx]

Are you single?
