Stopped reading there. Youre disillusioned and every one views you as a fat disgusting piece of shit.
>>40067277
>was 6'4" @270 lbs
>now 6'4" @210 lbs
>you are at least 55 lbs heavier than my heaviest while being shorter
You don't carry it well.
Everyone notices it.
You are fucking fat.
Also weight watchers is the children's version of calorie counting. Get myfitnesspal app and a food scale and watch your weight really drop.

losing weight was never about calories in calories out - that will cause you to lose weight, but it's an extreme and uninformed way to do it - losing weight the right way is about proper & balanced diet and exercise. weight watchers oversimplifies the "proper & balanced" aspects, but for the most part it's reasonably accurate in the end.

Then you never got to my climactic realization that I am, in fact, fat.
Reading is your friend
>>40067354
I was doing myfitnesspal and a food scale and was adhering to it really well, the weight never came off
Compared to WW where I was losing a pound a day right off the bat
Dunno why, but it works so I'm gonna keep doing it.
>>40067363
>losing weight was never about CICO
You're retarded. Losing weight is ONLY CICO, Weight Watchers just simplified it to counting points, not calories.
>>40067388
Then you weren't adhering to it. The difference between what you did now and then? Meals that you knew how bad or good they are. You were fucking UP your eating and playing stupid. You didn't get to 325 from sweets alone.
Count calories and watch macros. Don't allow them to determine all that shit for you. You'll do better (if you aren't weak willed)
>>40067410
Well, you can already see that he made excuses about why "counting calories doesn't work". I doubt he'll have the willpower to keep it up. Sad, but true.
Well done. You discovered calorie counting.

Why are you even here?
>>40067277
>guys I was calorie counting but it didn't work!
>then I tried this Official Calorie Counting group and now it's working!
Looks like you're a fat retard, OP. At least you'll lose weight regardless.
