Eat more calories than you need, put on weight, eat less than you need lose weight. I've put on a bit of weight since I retired tbh and it's up to me to take it off by by going out every day walking.

Tweed I am fat (no point denying it) and trying to lose weight. At work there are a lot of stairs (three flights of steep steps) and we are up and down them an awful lot during the day. I often get up to the second floor (where my desk is) out of breath (needing my asthma spray) and with aching legs. when someone asks why I don't take the lift (no way on that, it smells from nasty things in the basement and often breaks down) I just say to think how unfit I'd be if I didn't climb all those stairs. I go out every lunchtime and rush around the town shopping for 36 minutes (long story why 36 minutes) but it's only those stairs that take it out of me. Does it have something to do with tenths of an hour? I used to get 42 minutes for lunch, because the company figured time in tenths of an hour. Joy I don't eat during the day as I'm too busy and don't think about it, it's the comfort eating and wine drinking at night that puts my weight on. If I ever manage to retire, I'm anticipating losing my weight as I won't need the comfort and I'll be gardening, and decorating along with some more leisurely pursuits and maybe even some housework. In the meantime it's a diet and the stairs. Judith -- Judith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. |

I know others who are overweight but eat less than I do. Your statement does not contradict this, but you keep repeating it as though it does. Joy |

In the meantime it's a diet and the stairs. Judith -- Judith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. The 36 minute lunch time came into being as follows. Ever since I've been working (since 1973) we have had flexi time. This mean that we could start work between 8.00am and 9.45 am, have a lunch break between 12.00 and 2.15pm which could be half and hour up to an hour and a half and then leave between 4pm and 6.30pm. Obviously we had to fit in to ensure cover for the office between 9.00am and 5.00pm. Then July 2012 they moved us to a different office block and brought in Agile working. Which meant that you could work between 7.30am and 7.30pm. Have as long a lunch as you wanted as long as it was at least 20 minutes, you could take it whenever you wanted and could have as many as five breaks in the day as long as you worked one and a half hours between them. Any doctors or dentists appointments had to come out of your own time. If you build up time you can take it off but only up to one day a month which is as it had been before. As I travel into work with DH who works in the same town I've always worked 8.00am to about 4.30. apart when cover was needed. Then in April this year we had new managers who don't like us having agile working even though it's a decision made by the top brass and agreed with the union. We now have to cover the office 8.30am to 5.30pm. The managers don't like it if you leave before 5.00pm. When this all happened and I asked to leave at 4.30pm they made it quite clear they wanted me to work 9.00 to 5.00 with a half hour lunch. I argued the case that they weren't allowed to force that on some staff and not others, I got the union involved and eventually they offered me set hours of 8.00 to 4.00 with a 36 minute lunch. (We work 7 hours 24 mins a day) I jumped at it. I did say it was a long story. I'm sure you dozed off half way through. Judith -- Judith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. No, I didn't doze off. I found it fascinating, and somewhat amazing that the managers could get away with going against the top brass and the union. I'm glad you won. Joy |

If you eat more calories than you need you will put on weight, and if you eat less calories than you need you will lose weight. ~~~~~~~ That's true, but it's also true that metabolism can affect the calories that are used. I have a friend who is super-slim, although she *constantly* has a variety of home baked pies, cakes, etc. It's hard for me to envision anyone eating as much as she does, yet she never gains a pound. At the same time, I would not want to be in her position--she does not engage in exercise in the traditional sense, but she is literally a bundle of nerves. It seems to me that she burns off calories in that way because she seems to constantly under stress. MaryL |

If you eat more calories than you need you will put on weight, and if you eat less calories than you need you will lose weight. That sounds very judgemental. Persia got fat because I was feeding her what was written on the bag of kibble. How the heck was I supposed to know it was too many calories for her? She didn't come with instructions. Then the vet had me cut it back to 1/4 cup of food and twice a day. That's not much food, but she was still fat. Once you put on weight it isn't that easy to lose it. It's also not easy to put a cat on a "diet" unless you like to hear a lot of yowling. Jill |

Jill I have admitted that Sheba does not contain sugar and have apologised about it several weeks ago, I was mistaken. But the fact remains that if you eat more calories than you burn off you will put on weight. How you work it out I don't know.
