    Its probably just water weight I wouldn't be to concerned if you go up a pound on a 1200cal diet. If you had a lot of sodium this probably caused you to bloat and show it on the scale

    So I've just come to this thread so do I have it correct

    The Op is not losing weight her diary is inaccurate which can be seen by the half filled days and the use of generic entries and randomness of some of the amounts. Even though the logging is inaccurate she must have a medical condition and be defying science because it cannot be as simple as she's eating far more than she thinks because it always comes down to a medical condition not the simplest and most logical reason people are eating more than they expend. Is that about it then?


    Days where there is little food being eaten, are genuine days when I've had that amount of food. It's as accurate as I can get it. Plus I do have a medical condition, I've got few issues to be honest. Yes I've got depressed and put on weight so the next I've stayed away from food. Doctors are addressing this issue too.

    When did this become a full blown discussion about hypothyroidism. Brb, all things revolve around that because I guess more people have it than don't.

    All these people telling you you're not logging correctly...BUT even if you're off, you should NOT put on weight when you are restricting yourself that much.Your TDEE would be well above 1700 cals considering your stats and there's no way in hell that you're eating at a surplus of 1000 calories everyday,which is needed to gain a kilogram in a week.

    Hell,you don't even need to consider the calorie count.If you are constantly eating less than your natural desire,you should atleast not GAIN further.Unless you are eating foods with very high calorie density,which you presumably aren't.

    I think you definitely need medical advice.

    Back at doctors today, even though I went yesterday, I had 20min slot today so could talk things in more detail. Basically what the doctor thinks is happening is my cyst in the pituitary gland is knocking my thyroid about. I had a scan last year and these issues weren't present then, so she's leaning towards the cyst effecting me. I gained the weight due to pregnancy, unfortunately I lost my baby, due to preemlasica (sp?) and my sticky blood issue. Still now over sure of exactly what type of sticky blood I've got, or exactly how the cyst is behaving. But off for more tests, and hopefully I can get treated.

    Thank you all for your help
    Rachel,

    Good luck on your doctor visits. It sounds like you have learned more about what is going on with you. Keep us posted, please.
