Hiya Lois lane,

This is probably one of the stupidest questions asked but when you lose weight where does it go?

What I`m trying to say is that I lost 3lbs this week and when looking at it as if it was blocks of lard how does those 3lb`s dissapear? Does it come out when you wee or have a poo,or does it just get reabsorbed back into your body and breaks down to nothing?

Told ya it was a really stoopid question!

Katmad99 - Stop it now! there is no need to feel ashamed, you had a bad day thats all, one bad day! Now you have acknowledged it, shake its hand and wave it on its merry way. Then tomorrow embrace the Day One Club :j Besides looking at what you ate, it wasnt that bad and considering its the chocolate time of year, its no bad thing.

Dont let it get you down, grit your teeth, promise yourself you can do it, we are here to help you on your way

Hugs

I don't think that there is ever a stupid question............

A non scientific answer (thinking back to my days in science lessons in the 60s:eek: ) is that it is used up as fuel for your body when you are eating less than is used in a day.

From your daily intake you will wee water not needed by your body, sweat, saliva etc and poo anything that cannot be chemically changed into food to go into your bloodstream (or stored as fat if you have eaten more than needed.

When you eat less than you need in energy you call upon your store of fat. Presumably there is no waste in fat, but any excess water from it will be lost in wee.

Where it actually 'goes' when used, is not something I can actually explain in words. It must be the same as where compost in a house plant goes after a few years of neglect. It just 'goes'.

Can someone more scientific help me out and/or correct me if I'm completely off track here please?

Stop beating yourself up about it RIGHT NOW!! Like Suggs says - just wave it bye bye. You're still with us and still thinking about what you are eating. It's only when you stop considering what you are eating that you will just go back to your old habits. In the long run that's all bad eating is - old habits. It takes a while to get into new habits and for eating healthily (sp) and taking regular exercise to become second nature.

Not succeed? Aren't you a student who is working extremely hard at succeeding to achieve a degree? (by the way what are you studying and what level are you? - if you don't mind me asking). I'm sure you believe you will succeed at that achievement which means you can achieve anything you truely wish to work at. (:rotfl: that inspired me even if it did nothing for you!).

I completed a degree in January this year and one of my aims is to be slimmer before I go to graduation. I was a mature student who completed a 2:1 while working full time. I WILL be slimmer before I collect my degree. Mindst I'll be so nervous that I'll probably step on my gown and end up flat on my face but because I'll be slimmer at least the hole I'll make will not be so big

*more hugs*

I hope you feel better and more positive today
