Okay, i know this may sound weird, but i think I can actually see the fat going out of my body.

I asked back a time ago, how does fat leave your body. The answer was thru being burned off as energy and thru the waste that leaves our bodies...example, when we go to the restroom.

Well, we have to watch out toilets here at work, because they are deep enough, that sometimes the toilet paper doesn't get flushed away the first time. then we have to re-flush. Well, i've been looking in the toilet to see if the toilet paper will flush or not and i see this like ....white stuff at the bottom of the bowl. I think it may actually be the fat. i have been losing a pound a week lately, and it takes more than one day for a pound to show up. because we lose just a little at a time. like maybe an ounce. so....i'm thinking this is actually the fat that is making it's way out thru my pee pee. ***sorry if this sounds gross, but we all do it don't we***

anyways, has any one else ever noticed this or am i just the weird one???

A calorie is a unit of heat (I'm pretty sure) You actually 'burn' them off. Like when you get hot enough to sweat at the gym.

yes, fitday says i burned off about 323 last night at the gym. i sweated alright!!! whew!! i am sore today. but it's such a good sore. this is going to do my body so much good. they say shake up your routine, well this cardio class once a week is going to shake it up all right.

wouldn't you say just do one cardio class a week until i am able to do it without having to stop for little mini breaks???

That's not fat. When you burn fat, you break it down into tiny molecules that are then broken down into water, carbon dioxide, and energy. You breath out the CO2 and you pee or sweat out the water. Fat molecules are too big to filter into the urine so you are definitely never peeing out whole fat. Water from fat, yes. But fat, no.

ahhhhhhh, a girl can dream then can't she??? maybe i am just seeing things. just wishing i were seeing it??!! just call me crazy!!! but thanks for the information. i was trying to figure out how it leaves the body. that tells me alot. i knew how it got in the body, just wasnt' quite sure about how it actually left the body.

***any way to make my silly thread disappear???***

As I mentioned in another thread where we were talking about this same topic, this could mean that when you're in the gym, next to someone who's huffing and puffing away, you could actually be breathing in her discarded fat!

Then again, she's breathing in yours, too!

HEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!

Pissing fat! is pretty funny.

Well I could say you can piss fat but I don't think you would be able to see lumps of white fat in the pot!

I think if I did see lumps of white stuff in the pot that would scare the crap out of me!. hmmmmm! seeing what is on my body is enough to scare me.

Pretty cute thought.

I think we all been through the how does the fat get out phase though.

Welcome to the club!

LOL darn ! I was all excited and ready to go start looking into the toilet!!

It was a great idea though, Lumi!!

I've read that question before too, Lumifan. Never be afraid to ask no matter how odd you think your question is.


editted to say that 111 views for this thread and you can't make me believe everyone knew the right answer! See you're teaching!

If its any consolation, I thought it went in the toilet too So much so that my deluded brain thought that if I overate and went to the loo straight away, the damage was limited somewhat.

So we all have some daffy thoughts!!!

oh man.. i shouldn't have been eating when i read that LOL

I learnt a long time ago not eat while reading 3FC, not just coz of TMI posts, but also you can end up spitting your food over your pc. We're a funny bunch!!!

okay, well i think i really found out what was in the pot....it was actually there before i got there. it's just some tp that doesn't get flushed away everytime. we have really weird toilets here at work, but when i went to use it this morning, i saw the white stuff already there and i could tell it was tp. so don't i feel like an idiot. but glad to know that there's not something weird coming out of my body.

but i loved ya'll response. glad i wasn't eating or drinking while i was reading these post.

LOL Lumi, don't feel like an idiot... just think of all the great entertainment you provided for the rest of us chickies!!! And education!!!
