Hello I started exercise and diet several weeks ago, and to begin with I lost weight five kilos to be exact. However, since I have been counting calories with my fitness pal, which has been two weeks now, I have actually gained a kilo.
Help! it is making me furious.

    Hello there,

    Are you eating the correct amount of calories for your height/weight? (the Harris Benedict Equation is a good way to gauge this). Your situation isn't really making a lot of sense to me if you've been counting calories and restricting, in conjunction with exercising. Then again I'm not a doctor or a specialist in fitness.

    What are you doing differently now after using My Fitness Pal than you were before using it?

    Thanks for replying I am slack in not replying.
    I am not going to give in, but I do have an underactive thyroid and I am sure this makes a difference. I could loose it easier a year ago, but my body must have slowed down even worse. Nevertheless I shall keep on keeping on.

    I have an underactive thyroid too, but I don't think it ever stopped me from losing weight. My medication should make the thyroid work properly anyway. Basically, you need to restrict calories and boost your metabolism with exercise.

    That is what I am doing, can't do anything more. Still, for all that I feel well
